0101288White Furthering U.S. Interests and Leadership in the International Council for Science (ICSU)Due to the global character of contemporary science and engineering, it is essential for U.S. scientists and engineers, as well as their professional organizations, to remain in close contact with the activities and plans of their foreign counterparts, in part as a means to facilitate the development of collaborative programs. Additionally, gaining a better understanding of many important problems, such as those associated with the global environment, data quality and access, and the training and utilization of research personnel, require cooperative efforts on a multilateral basis. An increasing number of such problems cut across and transcend individual scientific disciplines. Theoldest and most extensive mechanism for facilitating world-wide communication between U.S. scientists and engineers and their foreign counterparts is the array of non-governmental international disciplinary unions and interdisciplinary organizations that together comprise the International Council for Science (ICSU), a non-governmental, multilateral organization comprised of an adhering organization in over 90 countries. This award will enable the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council (the U.S. adhering organization to ICSU) to continue to manage U.S. participation in ICSU. The award provides dues payments to ICSU, and support for two international disciplinary unions (the International Commission of Mathematical Instruction and the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics) as well as two interdisciplinary organizations (the Pacific Science Association and the Committee on Science and Technology for Development).

0101288由于当代科学和工程的全球特征，国际科学委员会（ICSU）的促进美国的利益和领导力对美国科学家和工程师以及其专业组织至关重要，以与他们的外国外国同行的活动和计划保持密切联系，以促进协作计划的发展。此外，对许多重要问题（例如与全球环境，数据质量和获取以及研究人员的培训和利用相关的问题）有了更好的了解，需要在多边进行合作努力。越来越多的此类问题跨越并超越了个体科学学科。一系列非政府国际学科联盟和跨学科组织，共同组成了一个非政府科学委员会（ICSU），这是一个非政府，多边，多边组织由90个国家组成的组织。该奖项将使国家科学院/国家研究委员会（美国遵守ICSU）能够继续管理美国参与ICSU。该奖项为ICSU提供了会费付款，并为两个国际学科工会（国际数学教学委员会和国际理论和应用机制联盟）以及两个跨学科组织（太平洋科学协会和发展发展委员会）提供了支持。
