Program Support Office for the Interagency Ocean Observation Committee

为海洋领导联盟(COL)设立的机构间海洋观测委员会(IOOC)支助办公室提供部分资金。海委会支助办公室将继续为海委会提供项目管理和会议支助服务。机构间协作对于实现海洋科学和技术优先事项，特别是海洋观测系统的规划和协调至关重要。IOOC支助办公室就IOOS的所有规划活动向联邦机构提供行政援助。能够有效支持这些目标的IOOC将为更广泛的社会目标做出有意义的贡献，这些目标涉及气候、海洋作业、自然灾害、国家安全、公共卫生、生态系统和自然资源。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
