International Council for Exploration of the Sea: Travel Support for Academic Participants, 2011-2013

该奖项为参加ICES年度科学会议、工作组和研讨会、专题讨论会、主题会议和培训项目的美国学术科学家提供资金支持。年轻和有成就的科学家的申请将被考虑，以确保美国学术界在ICES活动中的强大和多样化的代表性。更广泛的影响：根据最近关于海洋管理的总统行政命令、海洋研究优先计划和美国海洋政策委员会的目标，美国在海洋科学领域保持领导地位非常重要。国际生态系统研究所的新结构及其五个指导小组的重点是基于生态系统的管理科学，为美国科学家参与国际合作研究提供了机会。美国国家科学基金会的资助将确保美国学术科学能够发挥ICES的领导潜力和招募年轻科学家参加ICES活动的能力。资金还将有助于确保学术界得到充分代表，平衡主要通过NOAA的美国政府科学的大力投入。

This award provides funds to support travel by U.S. academic scientists for participation in the ICES Annual Science Conference, its Working Groups and Workshops, Symposia, Theme Sessions, and Training Programs. Applications by young and established scientists will be considered to assure strong and diverse representation by the U.S. academic community in ICES activities.Broader Impacts: It is important for the United States to maintain a leadership role in marine science, in accord with the recent Presidential Executive Order on ocean stewardship, the Ocean Research Priorities Plan and the goals of the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy. The new structure of ICES and its five Steering Groups that are focused on science for ecosystem-based management provide opportunities for U.S. scientists to engage in collaborative international research. NSF funding will insure that U.S. academic science can exercise both leadership potential in ICES and the ability to recruit young scientists into ICES activities. Funds also will help to insure that the academic community is well represented, balancing the strong input of U.S. governmental science, primarily through NOAA.
