Years 4-10 of a U.S. Science Support Program associated with the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program

联合海洋研究所公司（JOI）将支持500名美国科学家参加为期6.5年的59次多平台IODP考察。JOI将为美国探险科学团队成员实施一个基本的支持包，这与IODP前3年使用的传统基于odp的模式不同。成功的规划和科学发展机制也将继续，如美国科学咨询委员会，提名和支持美国代表参加国际海洋发展计划国际科学咨询结构，以美国为中心的规划研讨会和专题工作组，联合首席科学家和任务支持，以及为即将到来的探险相关的钻探前活动提供有针对性的资金。一个适度的工具开发计划将继续侧重于第三方工具的开发及其向社区应用的过渡。知识价值：该奖项将为参加“综合海洋钻探计划”（Integrated Ocean Drilling Program）考察的美国科学家提供必要的资金，这些考察的目的是在深海生物圈和海底海洋的主题领域对地球、海洋和生命进行基础性发现；环境变化、过程和影响；以及固体地球循环和地球动力学。辅助活动，如研讨会或仪器开发计划，使美国科学家能够计划（或提出新的）考察，并最大限度地提高他们参与的科学成果。更广泛的影响：该项目将大约7%的总资源用于综合教育和推广项目，利用IODP的大量现有资源，将发现带到更广泛的教育环境中，例如让本科生、研究生和少数族裔美国学生参与可能影响他们职业选择的活动。例子包括研究生奖学金和本科生研究奖，鼓励学生在使用科学海洋钻探的领域，全国系列讲座，以及与少数民族服务项目和机构的合作活动。JOI将管理一个可配置的教育活动池，可以根据年度项目计划中即将出现的机会（例如为教育目的进入钻井平台）进行定制。外联部分提供机制，通过重点事件和媒体关系，向政策制定者和整个社会以及其他科学家团体传达有关地球系统如何运作的项目发现。教育和外联部分都是与IODP管理国际及其实施组织等项目合作伙伴协调的。由于需要在征集上限内支持预期的考察数量，我们注意到，美国科学支持基金用于项目规划和发展、教育、推广和管理等辅助活动的比例将显著低于IODP的前三年。

Joint Oceanographic Institutions, Inc. (JOI) will support the participation of just under 500 U.S. scientists in 59 multi-platform IODP expeditions during the 6.5 year period of performance. JOI will implement a basic support package for U.S. members of the expedition science parties that differs from the traditional ODP-based model used in the first 3 years of IODP. Successful planning and science development mechanisms will also be continued, such as the U.S. Science Advisory Committee, nominations and support for the U.S. representatives to the IODP's international Science Advisory Structure, U.S.-centric planning workshops and thematic working groups, co-chief scientist and mission support, and targeted funding for pre-drilling activities associated with upcoming expeditions. A modest instrument development program focusing on the development of third-party tools and their transition to community application will be continued. Intellectual merit: The award will provide the necessary funding for U.S. scientists to participate in Integrated Ocean Drilling Program expeditions, which are designed to make fundamental discoveries about Earth, Oceans and Life in the thematic areas of the deep biosphere and subseafloor ocean; environmental changes, processes, and effects; and solid earth cycles and geodynamics. Ancillary activities such as the workshop or instrument development program allow U.S. scientists to plan for (or propose new) expeditions and maximize science outcomes of their participation.Broader impacts: The program dedicates approximately 7% of total resources towards an integrated education and outreach program that leverages the substantial existing resources of the IODP to bring discoveries into wider education settings, for example involving undergraduates,graduate students, and minority American students in activities that may influence their careerchoices. Examples include graduate fellowships and undergraduate research awards that encourage students in fields that use scientific ocean drilling, a national lecture series, and partnership activities with minority-serving programs and institutions. JOI will manage a configurable pool for education activities that can be tailored to upcoming opportunities (such as access to drilling platforms for education purposes) in annual program plans. The outreach component provides mechanisms to communicate program discoveries about how the Earth system works to policy makers and society at large through focused events and media relations, and to other communities of scientists. Both the education and outreach components are coordinated with program partners such as IODP Management International and its Implementing Organizations. Due to the need to support the expected number of expeditions within the solicitation ceiling, we note that the proportion of U.S. science support funds spent on the ancillary activities of program planning and development, education, outreach, and administration will be significantly lower than in the first 3 years of the IODP.
