AST- 9980200MarvelAstronomy is a fully international endeavor. Astronomers in the United States must interact, collaborate and meet with researchers from around the world. To participate fully in the international scientific community, American researchers must attend international scientific meetings, not just travel for observing. International meetings provide a forum for interacting with other researchers, forming collaborations, presenting new results and participating in the international scientific community.The attendance at international scientific meetings is prohibitively expensive for many U.S. researchers. Further, funding strictly for travel to international meetings can be difficult to obtain. This is especially true for astronomers from small and/or less-endowed institutions or for individuals at the beginning of their careers. Researchers often must choose between observing trips and travel to scientific meetings, and may avoid international meetings due to the high costs of attendance.Because of the increasingly international nature of astronomical research, the American Astronomical Society (AAS) feels it is especially important to enable American astronomers to participate in international scientific meetings.The American Astronomical Society will administer a three-year international travel grant program for the years 2000 to 2003. The AAS Council will appoint a committee to review applications and the program will be administered by the AAS executive office. During the year 2000, the year of the 24th General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union, the program will accommodate a larger number of grants (considered separately from normal international scientific meetings) to enhance the strong U.S. presence at this important function.The program would benefit American astronomical research by fostering international collaboration and interaction by enabling U.S. astronomers, especially early-career astronomers and those from less-endowed institutions, to attend international scientific meetings.Grant recipients will be required to submit a report summarizing their travel along with appropriate NSF required accounting information. The report will describe their interactions with foreign astronomers and any subsequent collaborative efforts. An assessment of the program will be undertaken by an ad hoc committee of the AAS and will be published in the Bulletin of the American Astronomical Society, as a part of the AAS Secretary's annual report and will be included in the final project report to NSF.***

AST-9980200-MarvelasTronomy是一项全面的努力。美国的天文学家必须互动，合作并与来自世界各地的研究人员会面。要充分参加国际科学界，美国研究人员必须参加国际科学会议，而不仅仅是观察旅行。国际会议提供了一个论坛，可以与其他研究人员进行互动，成立合作，提出新的结果并参与国际科学界。参加国际科学会议对许多美国研究人员来说非常昂贵。此外，很难获得严格参加国际会议的资金。对于来自小规模和/或较少尊敬的机构或职业生涯开始时的个人的天文学家尤其如此。研究人员通常必须在观察旅行和参加科学会议之间进行选择，并且可能会因高昂的出勤成本而避免国际会议。由于天文学研究的国际性越来越大，美国天文学社会（AAS）认为，使美国天文学家能够参加国际科学社会的委员会，以授权美国天文学委员会尤其重要。该计划将由AAS执行办公室管理。在2000年，即国际天文联盟第24届大会的年份，该计划将适应更多的赠款（与正常国际科学会议分开考虑），以增强美国在这一重要职能中的强大美国存在。该计划将使美国天文学的研究受益于美国天文学研究，通过促进国际协作和互动，尤其是美国天文学的群体，尤其是国际机构的互动，这些互动是竞争的，尤其是国际化机构的参与者，这些计划将受益匪浅。将要求提交一份报告，总结其旅行以及适当的NSF所需的会计信息。该报告将描述他们与外国天文学家的互动以及随后的任何合作努力。该计划的评估将由AAS的临时委员会进行，并将在美国天文学会的公告中发表，作为AAS秘书年度报告的一部分，并将包含在NSF的最终项目报告中。*** *** ***
