The Polar Research Board (PRB) of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine serves as the U.S. National Committee to two international organizations: the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC), and the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR). SCAR helps advance Antarctic research by implementing new research initiatives, identifying emerging scientific themes, promoting international cooperation and partnerships, and providing scientific advice to the Parties to the Antarctic Treaty on issues related to the management and protection of the Antarctic region and the Southern Ocean. IASC encourages and facilitates international cooperation in Arctic research, provides scientific input to the Arctic Council and other international policy organizations, and helps support international science development, including numerous opportunities for early career researchers. U.S. annual dues for these organizations provides a foundation for advancing opportunities and interests of the U.S. polar research community, and for assuring continued progress in international-level research and assessment.The International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) and Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) are unique organizations that provide opportunities for U.S. scientists to develop research partnerships with polar science colleagues in other countries around the world. IASC’s efforts to facilitate international cooperation in Arctic research are advanced through activities such as: the annual Arctic Science Summit Week gatherings; the individual and cross-cutting initiatives of IASC’s Working Groups (Atmosphere, Cryosphere, Marine, Social and Human, Terrestrial); the Arctic Data Committee and Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks; and the IASC Fellowship Program, which helps early career researchers get involved in workshops, science planning activities and research programs. SCAR’s efforts to promote international scientific cooperation in Antarctica are advanced through activities such as the biennial business meetings and Open Science Conference; the SCAR Biology Symposium and Antarctic Earth Sciences Symposia; the SCAR Early Career Fellowship and Visiting Professor programs; the program planning efforts of SCAR's Scientific Groups (Geosciences, Life Sciences, Physical Sciences); and the Scientific Research Programmes that are the main focus of SCAR’s international scientific coordination. These SCAR and IASC activities help early career scientists expand research interests and develop professional connections; they help ensure that important policy decisions about managing and protecting the polar regions are based on sound scientific assessment; and they help advance scientific objectives that would be impossible for single investigators, programs, or countries to do alone.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.

美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院的极地研究委员会（PRB）是两个国际组织的美国国家委员会：国际北极科学委员会（IASC）和南极研究科学委员会（SCAR）。南极研究中心通过实施新的研究计划、确定新出现的科学主题、促进国际合作和伙伴关系，以及就南极地区和南大洋的管理和保护问题向《南极条约》缔约国提供科学建议，帮助推进南极研究。IASC鼓励和促进北极研究的国际合作，为北极理事会和其他国际政策组织提供科学投入，并帮助支持国际科学发展，包括为早期职业研究人员提供大量机会。这些组织的美国年度会费为美国极地研究界提供了发展机会和利益的基础，并确保在国际水平的研究和评估方面取得持续进展。国际北极科学委员会（IASC）和南极研究科学委员会（SCAR）是为美国科学家提供机会与世界其他国家的极地科学同行发展研究伙伴关系的独特组织。机构间常设委员会促进北极研究国际合作的努力通过以下活动得到推进：年度北极科学峰会周聚会；机构间常设委员会各工作组（大气、冰冻圈、海洋、社会和人类、陆地）的个别和跨领域倡议；北极数据委员会和持续北极观测网；以及IASC奖学金计划，该计划帮助早期职业研究人员参与研讨会、科学规划活动和研究项目。南极研究中心促进南极洲国际科学合作的努力通过诸如两年一次的商业会议和开放科学会议等活动得到推进；SCAR生物学专题讨论会和南极地球科学专题讨论会；SCAR早期职业奖学金和客座教授项目；中国科学院科学组（地球科学、生命科学、物理科学）的项目规划工作；以及作为SCAR国际科学协调的主要焦点的科学研究计划。这些SCAR和IASC的活动帮助早期职业科学家扩大研究兴趣和发展专业联系；它们有助于确保有关管理和保护极地地区的重要政策决定是基于可靠的科学评估；它们有助于推进单个研究人员、项目或国家不可能单独完成的科学目标。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。
