Women's International Scientific Collaboration Program

该奖项支持美国科学促进会(AAAS)妇女国际科学合作(WISC)计划。WISC是一个为期两年的项目，旨在鼓励美国女科学家开发新的国际合作研究项目和合作伙伴。WISC将允许美国女科学家前往中欧、东欧和欧亚大陆，并停留长达四周，以便制定在国际环境中进行基础研究的正式研究提案。WISC向下列领域的女科学家开放：考古学；人类学；生物学；化学；地球科学；经济学；环境科学；地理和人口学；语言学；政治学；非临床心理学；社会学。WISC特别鼓励跨学科研究项目。如果有一个美国研究团队，团队中最多两名女性成员可以申请WISC拨款，只要她们中至少有一人是首席研究员。这笔拨款最高可达4000美元，将用于支付这名美国调查人员出国的旅费和生活费。任何多余的资金也可用于第二次访问计划期间所需的用品和设备--无论是为这位美国科学家或她的伴侣来美国。2000年10月至2002年10月期间将提供三轮比赛，总共提供20笔赠款。AAAS WISC计划实现了NSF计划的目标，即将美国、中东欧和欧亚大陆的顶尖专家聚集在一起，在平等、互惠和互利的基础上，在共同利益和能力强的领域结合互补的努力和能力。*

INT-0003057KirkThis award supports the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Women's International Scientific Collaboration (WISC) Program. WISC is a two-year program to encourage U.S. women scientists to develop new international cooperative research projects and partners. WISC will allow U.S. women scientists to travel to Central and Eastern Europe and Eurasia and stay up to four weeks in order to develop a formal research proposal to conduct basic research in an international environment. WISC is open to women scientists in the following fields: archeology; anthropology; biology; chemistry; earth sciences; economics; environmental sciences; geography and demography; linguistics; political science; non-clinically oriented psychology; and sociology. WISC especially encourages interdisciplinary research projects. If there is a U.S. research team, up to two female members of that team can apply for WISC grants as long as at least one of them is a principal investigator. The grants, up to a maximum of $4,000, will cover travel and living expenses for the U.S. investigator to go abroad. Any excess funds can also be used for supplies and equipment needed during the planning period for a second visit - either for the U.S. scientist or for her partner to come to the U.S. Three rounds of competition will be offered between October 2000 and October 2002 for a total of twenty grants. The AAAS WISC Program fulfills the NSF program objectives of bringing together leading experts in the U.S. and Central and Eastern Europe and Eurasia to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.***
