U.S. Engagement in IAU, IUPAC, IUCr, IMU, ICO, IUPAP, and URSI

该奖项支持美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院国际科学组织委员会内的美国国家委员会(USNCs)。主要目标是支持美国在国际科学领域的有效参与和强有力的领导。美国数学和物理科学界由USNC在七个国际科学组织中代表：国际天文学联合会(IAU)、国际理论和应用物理联合会(IUPAP)、国际光学委员会(ICO)、国际理论和应用化学联合会(IUPAC)、国际结晶学联合会(IUCR)、国际数学联合会(IMU)和国际射电科学联合会(URSI)。这一为期三年的奖励将向七个国际科学联盟支付会费(仅为IUCR支付一年)，并为国家科学院对USNC的管理提供支持。USNC工作人员将协调美国在工会内部的活动；协调委员会为工会会议做准备；与委员会合作，确定与其特定学科相关的研究主题、问题和计划；确定并支持美国科学家参与工会活动。通过与利用知识实现社会目标、建立命名和标准、参与七个国际联盟的管理以及促进整个研究界的知识和理解有关的活动，展示了该项目的智力价值。联盟的活动鼓励跨越国际边界的合作研究和教育努力，旨在进一步发展和加强国内和国际上的每一门学科。这一项目的更广泛影响通过促进教学、培训和学习的工会活动体现出来，这些活动促进国家和国际劳动力的增长和多样性，并有助于塑造各自学科领域的国际对话。

This award supports the U.S. National Committees (USNCs) within the Board on International Scientific Organizations of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The primary goal is to support effective U.S. participation and strong leadership in international science. The U.S. mathematical and physical sciences communities are represented by USNCs in seven international scientific organizations: the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP), the International Commission for Optics (ICO), the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr), the International Mathematical Union (IMU), and the International Union for Radio Science (URSI). This three-year award will provide dues payments to the seven international scientific unions (one year only for IUCr) and provide support for the management of the USNCs at the National Academies. USNC staff will coordinate U.S. activity within the unions; coordinate committee preparations for union meetings; work with the committees to identify research topics, issues, and programs of interest to their specific disciplines; and identify and support U.S. scientists to participate in union activities. The intellectual merit of this project is demonstrated through activities related to the utilization of knowledge for the achievement of social goals, establishing nomenclature and standards, participating in the governance of the seven international unions, and advancing knowledge and understanding across the research community. Union activities encourage cooperative research and education efforts that reach across international boundaries and are designed to further develop and enhance each discipline nationally and internationally. The broader impacts of this project manifest themselves through union activities that promote teaching, training, and learning, that promote the growth of and diversity in the national and international workforce, and that help shape the international dialogue in the respective disciplinary areas.
