Organizational Support to the U.S. Arctic Science Program

摘要 美国佛罗里达州弗兰德斯，尼古拉斯北极研究联合会 美国北极研究联盟（Arcus）提议更新目前的合作协议，以支持旨在加强NSF北极研究计划的各种活动。 ARCUS将继续为科学界提供一种机制，以确定新的研究目标，后勤要求和教育活动，这将有利于规划和实施NSF支持的北极科学计划。 具体活动包括：北极系统科学（ARCSS）和北极社会科学（ASSP）计划中的科学规划，信息系统，如ARCSS的小册子和时事通讯，以及向所有对北极研究感兴趣的人传播信息的万维网网页，为ARCSS和ASSP的科学指导委员会会议提供便利，开展北极教育活动，并继续审查后勤需求，以增加北极地区所有研究人员的出入机会。 与ARCUS的合作协议提供了一个机制，以加强社区对国家科学基金会科学规划的投入，并向科学界传播规划成果。

ABSTRACT OPP-9727899 FLANDERS, NICHOLAS ARCTIC RESEARCH CONSORTIUM OF THE U.S. The Arctic Research Consortium of the U.S. (ARCUS) proposes to renew the current Cooperative Agreement to support a variety of activities intended to enhance NSF arctic research programs. ARCUS will continue to provide a mechanism for the science community to identify new research objectives, logistical requirements, and educational activities that will benefit both planning and implementation of NSF-supported science initiatives in the Arctic. Specific activities include: science planning in the Arctic System Science (ARCSS) and Arctic Social Sciences (ASSP) Programs, information systems such as a brochure and newsletter for ARCSS and a World Wide Web page for dissemination of information to all those interested in arctic research, facilitation of science steering committee meetings for ARCSS and ASSP, development of arctic educational activities, and continued examination of logistics requirements for providing increased access for all researchers in the arctic. The Cooperative Agreement with ARCUS provides a mechanism for enhancing community input to science planning in NSF and for disseminating the results of that planning to the science community.
