USNC-URSI: Engaging U.S. Radio Scientists in the International Union of Radio Science

该奖项为美国无线电科学家提供三年的支持和相关的行政费用，包括美国国家委员会（USNC），在国际无线电科学联盟（URSI）。 这包括影响和指导URSI科学计划，通过参与委员会帮助培养URSI领导的美国候选人，并通过支付会费来履行国家支持URSI的责任。 URSI是一个非政府、非营利性的科学联盟，致力于无线电科学学科的科学和技术发展。 它有46个成员国，是加入国际科学理事会的科学联盟之一。 URSI涵盖了无线电科学学科的许多领域，包括射电天文学，材料科学，物理学，遥感，地球科学和空间科学。 它促进和协调无线电，电信和电子科学领域的研究，通过其十个委员会促进国际交流和合作。 USNC每年在美国组织一次会议，并监督美国参与国际URSI活动。 URSI活动支持学生和博士后在众多无线电科学活动中的发展和培训，包括科学和工程，并帮助培养该领域的未来领导者。 它们促进美国更好地了解国际观点，政策和文化，将美国无线电科学界和美国研究与更广泛的国际背景联系起来。 这些活动对美国有效的国际项目和政策制定至关重要。

This award provides three years of support and related administrative expenses for engaging U.S. radio scientists, including the U.S. National Committee (USNC), in the International Union of Radio Science (URSI). This includes affecting and guiding URSI scientific programs, helping to develop U.S. candidates for URSI leadership through involvement with commissions, and meeting the nation's responsibility to support URSI by paying dues. URSI is a non-governmental, non-profit scientific union devoted to scientific and technological developments across radio science disciplines. It has 46 member countries, and is one of the scientific unions that adhere to the International Council for Science. URSI covers numerous areas of interest within the radio science discipline, including radio astronomy, materials science, physics, remote sensing, geosciences, and space sciences. It stimulates and coordinates studies in the fields of radio, telecommunications, and electronic sciences, fostering international communications and collaborations through its ten commissions. The USNC organizes a yearly conference in the U.S., and oversees the U.S. participation in international URSI activities. URSI activities support the development and training of students and postdocs in numerous radio science activities, in both science and engineering, and help to develop the future leaders in the field. They promote better U.S. understanding of international perspectives, policy and culture, linking the U.S. radio science community and U.S. research to a wider international context. These activities are essential for effective U.S. international programs and policy-making.
