JOI Proposal to Manage US Science Support Program - IODP

根据这项合作协议，Joi Inc.将管理与综合海洋钻探计划(IODP)相关的美国科学支持计划(USSSP)。这将通过制定和实施以下各项来实现：规划和方案发展目标：钻探前活动；仪器开发；平台参与和考察后支持；教育和社区参与活动；以及创建协调结构和管理计划。正如它在USSSP-ODP所做的那样，JOI将继续接受美国科学咨询委员会的建议和指导。在IODP实施期间(2004-2007年)，预计IODP将使用一艘轻型钻井船完成大约10次钻探探险，并可能在北极和浅水完成多达3次特派团专用平台探险。USSSP-IODP将提供方法和方法，使美国科学界的广泛部门能够增进对地球各个方面的知识和理解，包括地球、海洋、大气、生物群和冰冻圈，正如IODP最初的长期科学计划“地球、海洋和生命：使用多个钻井平台和新技术对地球系统的科学调查”所描绘的那样。USSSP-IODP的更广泛影响将是通过支持美国各种学术机构的科学家来加强国家的研究基础设施，并提供促进教学、培训和学习的机会。最后，为了增进全社会的科学理解并帮助壮大美国科学界，JOI将实施一项社区参与活动，将IODP和USSSP-IODP的科学成果转化为可获得的产品，并以各种形式广泛传播。

Under this award for a Cooperative Agreement, JOI Inc. will mange the US Science Support Program (USSSP) associated with the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP). This will be accomplished by developing and implementing the following: planning and program development objectives: pre-drilling activities; instrument development; platform participation and post-expedition support; education and community engagement activities; and the creation of a coordinating structure and administration plan. As it did in USSSP-ODP, JOI will continue to receive advice and guidance from the U.S. Science Advisory Committee. Within the implementation period of IODP (2004-2007), it is expected that IODP will accomplish about 10 drilling expeditions with a light drill ship and perhaps as many as three Mission Specific Platform (MSP) expeditions in the arctic and shallow water. The USSSP-IODP will provide the ways and means to enable a broad cross-section of the U.S. scientific community to advance knowledge and understanding of all aspects of the planet, including Earth, oceans, atmosphere, biota, and cryosphere, as delineated in IODP's initial long-range scientific plan "Earth, Oceans and Life: Scientific Investigations of the Earth System Using Multiple Drilling Platforms and New Technology." The broader impacts of USSSP-IODP will be to enhance the nation's research infrastructure by supporting scientists in a variety of U.S. academic institutions and provide opportunities to promote teaching, training, and learning. Finally, to enhance scientific understanding across society and to help grow the U.S. scientific community, JOI will implement a community engagement campaign that will convert the scientific results of IODP and the USSSP-IODP into accessible products that will be disseminated broadly in a variety of formats.
