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，用于为来自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早期职业科学家提供旅行援助的长期计划。海洋学委员会提供旅费赠款，使这些人能够出席与其科学兴趣有关的国际会议，以及与海洋学委员会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海洋学委员会努力向发展中国家和经济转型期国家（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。这一活动的影响超出了海洋科学的范围，通过促进发展中国家的科学进步而扩展到其他科学专题。在许多情况下，通过这些旅行赠款建立的联系所产生的个人关系和合作，可以在国际活动以及发展中国家的科学界产生长期影响，因为参与的个人在科学和科学政策方面不断上升。该奖项为海洋研究科学委员会（SCOR）提供长期资金，向发展中国家和经济转型国家合格和活跃的海洋学研究人员和初出茅庐的科学家提供旅行援助的常设方案。国家科学基金会的支助提供了一个有效的机制，使来自发展中国家和工业化国家（包括美国）的海洋学家之间建立联系，并促进合作努力，这一奖项反映了国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过利用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评价，被认为值得支助。

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.
