The requested funding will be used to continue providing guidance on major ocean-related science, engineering, and policy issues to the federal ocean agencies, including the National Science Foundation. The Ocean Studies Board (OSB) is the focal point within the NRC for ocean-related science, engineering, and policy issues. The board explores the science, policies, and infrastructure needed to understand, manage, protect, and restore coastal and marine environments and resources. The board exercises leadership within the ocean community by helping identify and communicate the needs of the field, responds to specific requests from government agencies and Congress, and oversees a variety a study projects related to ocean science and engineering and their impacts on policy. The operations of OSB are funded by a number of federal agencies, including the ONR, NOAA, USGS, and NASA. Broader Impacts The OSB strives to increase public awareness of ocean issues, to support ocean science education, and to enhance the dissemination and impact of OSB reports. The OSB also supports the recruitment of minorities into the earth sciences through participation in mentoring and fellowship programs. To further outreach and dissemination, The OSB provides report-in-briefs, a short summary (4-6 pages) of the key issues in reports; booklets on ocean themes (Ocean Science Series; Ocean Acidification, Scientific Ocean Drilling); and brief overviews of new reports and ongoing activities through the production of a biennial report.

申请的资金将用于继续向包括国家科学基金会在内的联邦海洋机构提供有关海洋科学、工程和政策问题的指导。海洋研究委员会（OSB）是NRC内与海洋有关的科学，工程和政策问题的协调中心。该委员会探讨了解，管理，保护和恢复沿海和海洋环境和资源所需的科学，政策和基础设施。该委员会通过帮助确定和沟通该领域的需求，回应政府机构和国会的具体要求，并监督与海洋科学和工程及其对政策的影响有关的各种研究项目，在海洋社区内发挥领导作用。OSB的运作由许多联邦机构资助，包括ONR，NOAA，USGS和NASA。OSB致力于提高公众对海洋问题的认识，支持海洋科学教育，并加强OSB报告的传播和影响。OSB还支持通过参与指导和奖学金计划招募少数民族进入地球科学。为了进一步推广和传播，OSB提供了简报报告，报告中关键问题的简短摘要（4-6页）;关于海洋主题的小册子（海洋科学系列;海洋酸化，科学大洋钻探）;以及通过编写两年期报告简要概述新报告和正在进行的活动。
