The International Global Atmospheric Chemistry (IGAC) International Project Office (IPO)

该项目支持国际全球大气化学项目的国际项目办公室（IPO），该项目是国际大气成分和全球污染委员会的一个项目，也是未来地球项目下的一个全球研究项目。 IGAC活动的三个重点领域是（1）促进社区，（2）建设能力，和（3）提供领导。 IGAC IPO促进国际科学合作，培养下一代科学家，建设发展中国家的能力，并培养一个跨学科和地理界限的大气科学家的凝聚力国际社区，共同解决全球变化和可持续性问题。IGAC的优先事项和活动由国际志愿者科学指导委员会（SSC）确定和指导。 IGAC国际项目办公室（IPO）的主要职责是与SSC成员和国际大气化学界的其他成员合作实施这些优先事项。 IPO的职责包括：在SSC的指导下对项目进行日常管理;支持SSC规划和执行IGAC的使命和目标;与SSC和社区合作，协调IGAC的活动以及国家和区域工作组;充当在不同国家工作的科学家之间就全球变化和可持续性的各个方面进行交流的渠道;组织活动、研讨会和能力建设活动;通过通讯、电子邮件列表、网站、社交媒体、演示文稿等宣传IGAC活动;与相关政策和利益攸关方社区互动;与科学赞助者、供资机构和东道机构联络;建立和维护关键核心项目文件档案。 对于发展中国家的科学家，IGAC促进在世界上代表性不足的地区建立一个强大的大气科学家社区，并将科学家与更大的IGAC社区联系起来，以促进国际合作。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project supports the International Project Office (IPO) of the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry (IGAC) Project, a project of the international Commission on Atmospheric Composition and Global Pollution and a Global Research Project under the umbrella of Future Earth. The three focal areas of IGAC activity are (1) Fostering Community, (2) Building Capacity, and (3) Providing Leadership. The IGAC IPO facilitates international scientific collaborations, cultivates the next generation of scientists, builds capacity in developing countries, and fosters a cohesive international community of atmospheric scientists working together across disciplines and geographical boundaries to address global change and sustainability issues.IGAC's priorities and activities are determined and guided by an international volunteer Scientific Steering Committee (SSC). The main responsibility of the IGAC International Project Office's (IPO) is to implement these priorities in collaboration with SSC members and other members of the international atmospheric chemistry community. The responsibilities of the IPO include: administering projects on a day-to-day basis under the guidance of the SSC; supporting the SSC in planning and carrying out IGAC's mission and goals; working with the SSC and the community on coordinating IGAC activities and national and regional working groups; serving as a channel of communication between scientists working in different countries on various aspects of global change and sustainability; organizing events, workshops, and capacity building activities; promoting IGAC activities and events via newsletters, email lists, website, social media, presentations, etc.; interacting with relevant policy and stakeholder communities; serving as liaison with scientific sponsors, funding agencies and host institutions; and creating and maintaining an archive of key core project documents. For developing country scientists, IGAC fosters the creation of a strong cohesive community of atmospheric scientists in under-represented regions of the world and also connects the scientists to the larger IGAC community in order to foster international collaborations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
