Furthering U.S. Interests and Leadership in International Bioscience

9814250美国生物界由美国国家科学院(NAS)代表参加五个国际科学联盟：国际生物科学联合会(IUBS)、国际生理科学联合会(IUPS)、国际理论和应用生物物理学联合会(IUPAB)、国际微生物科学联合会(IUMS)和国际生物化学和分子生物学联合会(IUBMB)。在这些国际组织中代表美国利益的五个美国科学家委员会对两个至关重要的问题给予了高度重视。首先是需要新的、包容的、多学科的和综合的方法来解决生物学问题。第二是需要在发展中国家建设人力和研究能力。这项奖励将允许NAS继续管理美国的参与，并在未来36个月内维护美国在这些生物科学联盟中的领导地位。它向五个国际组织支付会费，并提供资金支持相应的五个美国国家委员会的活动。

9814250The U.S. biology community is represented by the National Acadmy of Sciences (NAS) in five international scientific unions: the International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS), the International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS), the International Union of Pure and Applied Biophysics (IUPAB), the International Union of Microbiological Sciences (IUMS), and the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB). There are two overarching issues to which the five committees of U.S. scientists who represent U.S. interests in these international organizations have assigned high priorities. The first is the need for new, inclusive, multidisciplinary, and integrative approaches to biological questions. The second is the need to build human and research capacity in developing countries. This award will permit the NAS to continue to manage U.S. participation and assert U.S. leadership in these bioscience unions for an additional 36 months. It provides dues payments to the five international organizations and funds to support the activities of the five corresponding U.S. National Committees.***
