This proposal, from the American Astronomical Society ıAAS!, for "Astrophysical Research in the Countries of the Former Soviet Union ıFSU!, led by principal investigators Dr. S.E. Woosley, Dr. S. Wolff, Dr. J. Bahcall, and Dr. P. Boyce, follows up on a collaborative program of support for the beleaguered astronomy community in the FSU which began in 1991. This program consisted of small, $100 grants which eventually were awarded to 377 individuals, and astronomical journal subscriptions sent to 30 institutions. The 1992 program was supported entirely by AAS member contributions of $55,000. During 1993, the AAS proposes to continue this program -- and possibly for several years thereafter -- at an expanded level. Approximately the same number of journal subscriptions would be provided, but grants would be, on the average, four times larger. The AAS would also provide 25 to 30 personal computers of the PC-486 class. Donations from AAS members alone would be inadequate to support such a program in 1993. The goal of this AAS program is to keep a core of young, productive research astronomers and astrophysicists functioning within the FSU, and fulfills the NSF program objectives of advancing science by preserving the opportunity for leading experts in the U.S. and Russia to combine complementary talents and pool research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.

这项提案来自美国天文学会 ıAAS!，旨在“前苏联国家的天体物理学研究 ıFSU!”，由主要研究员 S.E. Woosley 博士、S. Wolff 博士、J. Bahcall 博士和 Dr. J. Bahcall 领导。 P. Boyce 继续执行 1991 年开始的一项为 FSU 陷入困境的天文学界提供支持的合作计划。该计划最初是 100 美元的小额赠款，最终授予了 377 名个人，并向 30 个机构发送了天文期刊订阅。 1992 年的计划完全由 AAS 成员捐款 55,000 美元支持。1993 年，AAS 提议继续该计划，并可能在此后几年继续实施。提供的期刊订阅数量大致相同，但平均而言，AAS 还将提供 25 至 4 倍的资助。仅 AAS 成员捐赠的 30 台个人计算机不足以支持 1993 年的此类计划。该 AAS 计划的目标是保持 FSU 内年轻、多产的研究天文学家和天体物理学家的核心地位，通过保留美国和俄罗斯领先专家在共同感兴趣和能力强的领域结合互补人才和汇集研究资源的机会，实现国家科学基金会推动科学发展的计划目标。
