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

该奖项为海洋研究科学委员会(SCOR)提供资金，用于向来自发展中国家和经济转型国家的合格和活跃的海洋研究人员和早期职业科学家提供旅行援助的长期计划。SCOR的旅行补助金是为了使这些人能够参加与他们的科学兴趣以及SCOR和国家科学基金会海洋科学司的科学兴趣有关的国际会议。这一正在进行的项目已成为SCOR向发展中国家和经济转型国家，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努力的基石。通过促进发展中国家的科学进步，这项活动的影响超越了海洋科学，延伸到其他科学主题。在许多情况下，通过这些旅行赠款建立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产生长期的影响，因为所涉个人在科学和科学政策的队伍中得到提升。该奖项为海洋研究科学委员会(SCOR)提供资金，用于向来自发展中国家和经济转型国家的合格和活跃的海洋研究人员和早期职业科学家提供旅行援助的长期计划。NSF的支持提供了一种有效的机制来建立发展中国家和工业化国家(包括美国)的海洋学家之间的联系，并促进合作努力。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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.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.
