Involvement of Developing Country Scientists in Activities of the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research

该奖项向海洋研究科学委员会（SCOR）提供资金，用于资助一个长期计划，为发展中国家和经济转型国家的合格和活跃的海洋学研究人员和职业生涯初期的科学家提供旅行援助。SCOR旅行补助金是为了使这些人能够参加与其科学兴趣有关的国际会议以及SCOR和国家科学基金会海洋科学部的会议。这个正在进行的项目已成为海洋研究中心努力向发展中国家和转型期经济国家（例如东欧国家和独立国家联合体）的海洋科学家提供援助的基石。通过促进发展中国家的科学进步，这项活动的影响从海洋科学扩展到其他科学主题。在许多情况下，通过这些旅行资助建立的联系所产生的个人联系和合作可以在国际活动中以及在发展中国家的科学界中产生长期影响，因为所涉及的个人在科学和科学政策的行列中上升。该奖项向海洋研究科学委员会（SCOR）提供资金，用于资助一个长期计划，为发展中国家和经济转型国家的合格和活跃的海洋学研究人员和职业生涯初期的科学家提供旅行援助。国家科学基金会的支持为发展中国家和包括美国在内的工业化国家的海洋学家之间建立联系和促进合作提供了有效的机制。

This award provides funds to the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) for a long-standing program of travel assistance to qualified and active oceanographic researchers and early-career scientists from developing countries and nations with economies in transition. SCOR travel grants are awarded to enable such individuals to attend international meetings relevant to their scientific interests and to those of SCOR and the Division of Ocean Sciences of NSF. This ongoing project has become the cornerstone of SCOR's efforts to provide assistance to marine scientists in the developing countries and with economies in transition for example eastern European nations and the Commonwealth of Independent States. The impacts of this activity extend beyond the ocean sciences into other scientific topics by stimulating scientific progress in developing countries. In many cases, personal connections and collaborations that can result from contacts made through these travel grants can have long-lasting effects both in international activities as well as in the developing country's science communities as the individuals involved rise through the ranks of science and science policy.This award provides funds to the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) for a long-standing program of travel assistance to qualified and active oceanographic researchers and early-career scientists from developing countries and nations with economies in transition. NSF support has provided an effective mechanism to establish contacts between oceanographers from the developing and the industrialized countries, including the United States, and to facilitate collaborative efforts.
