SCOSTEP: U.S. Participation in International Council for Science (ICSU)'s Scientific Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Physics

该奖项用于资助美国国家科学院的会费，以继续代表美国在2016年5月1日至2019年4月30日期间参加国际科学理事会（ICSU）的日地物理科学委员会（SCOSTEP）。SCOSTEP的主要任务是促进、组织和协调太阳-地球物理学（STP）的国际跨学科项目和专题讨论会，并定义与这些项目相关的数据，这些数据应该通过数据中心进行交换。通过其项目，SCOSTEP推进了太阳地球物理学的科学知识，支持了一个具有全球意识和参与STP的社区，并促进了早期STP科学家的发展。美国继续在SCOSTEP中发挥重要的科学和领导作用，美国应该支持这些活动。

This award is to fund the National Academy of Science dues for continued representation of the United States in the Scientific Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Physics (SCOSTEP) of the International Council for Science (ICSU) from May 1, 2016 - April 30, 2019. SCOSTEP's principal tasks are to promote, organize, and coordinate international interdisciplinary programs and symposia in solar-terrestrial physics (STP), and to define the data relating to these programs that should be exchanged through data centers. Through its programs, SCOSTEP advances scientific knowledge of solar terrestrial physics, supports a globally aware and engaged STP community, and promotes the development of early-career STP scientists. The U.S. continues to have a substantial scientific and leadership role in SCOSTEP, and the U.S. dues support these activities.
