9405398 Abbott In view of the excellent science and engineering capabilities that exist in many countries in all parts of the world, it is increasingly important for U.S. scientists and engineers to remain in close touch with the activities and plans of their foreign colleagues, in part as a means for planning joint research programs with them. Additionally, gaining an understanding of many important scientific problems, such as those associated with the global environment, requires cooperative scientific efforts on a multinational basis. U.S. scientists and engineers have a number of available mechanisms to maintain close communication with scientists and engineers in other countries. Among the most extensive of these mechanisms are the non-governmental international disciplinary unions which today comprise the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) in which more than 70 countries are represented. National members of these unions, as well as ICSU-proper, are private scientific bodies whose activities are normally determined by committees of working scientists. In the United States, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is the official adhering body to ICSU and its unions. This grant will support U.S. participation in the ICSU complex by enabling the NAS, in cooperation with the National Research Council (NRC), to manage the activities of the U.S. National Committees for ICSU and 20 its 23 associated disciplinary unions for a period of three years. ***

9405398雅培鉴于世界各地许多国家存在的优秀科学和工程能力，对于美国科学家和工程师而言，与他们的外国同事的活动和计划保持密切相关，部分是与他们计划联合研究计划的一种手段。 此外，了解许多重要的科学问题，例如与全球环境相关的科学问题，都需要在跨国公司的基础上进行合作科学努力。美国科学家和工程师有许多可用的机制，可以维持与其他国家 /地区的科学家和工程师进行密切的沟通。 这些机制中最广泛的是非政府国际学科工会，如今，该工会包括国际科学工会理事会（ICSU），其中有70多个国家 /地区。 这些工会的民族成员以及ICSU-Proper是私人科学机构，其活动通常由工作科学家委员会决定。 在美国，美国国家科学院（NAS）是对ICSU及其工会的官方遵守机构。 这笔赠款将通过与国家研究委员会（NRC）合作管理美国国家ICSU的活动和20个相关的纪律工会在三年内与美国国家研究委员会（NRC）合作，以支持美国参与ICSU综合体。 ***
