The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) will manage the U.S. Science Support Program associated with the International Ocean Discovery Program (USSSP-IODP). Judicious management of the U.S. Science Support program will enable the U.S. scientific community to maximize the scientific return from the IODP drilling platforms and address the major themes outlined in the IODP Science Plan for 2013-2023. These include monitoring past climate and ocean change; pursuing greater understanding of subseafloor organisms and ecosystems; examining connections between Earth's surface environment and deep processes; and increasing our understanding of geohazards such as earthquakes, landslides, and tsunamis. Scientific ocean drilling remains one of the preeminent tools for reconstructing Earth's history and improving predictive models for its future. IODP also provides a means whereby young investigators and graduate students can work alongside experienced scientists who will serve as mentors and leaders. The results obtained from IODP will constitute an important data set that should inform social policy in the coming decades. In addition, USSSP-IODP will pursue a comprehensive outreach program with the goal of increasing the public's awareness of IODP's accomplishments. Outreach efforts will include family learning opportunities and the use of traditional media and Internet-based initiatives such as social media. As much as possible, LDEO will bring IODP scientists into direct contact with the public through the use of ship-to-shore video, online interviews and Q&A sessions, and special outreach events at museums and other informal learning centers. Through collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History, an estimated 15,000 family visitors over five years will attend IODP-related lectures as part of the Millstein Science Series, after which they will interact with IODP researchers and museum-based educators on IODP-specific activities. In addition, the multidisciplinary nature of IODP makes it an ideal platform for STEM education development and initiatives. USSSP-IODP will promote STEM learning by engaging teachers at all levels in IODP-related professional development programs and providing them with the opportunity to sail on the JOIDES Resolution as part of the School of Rock or the new Onboard Program. LDEO has a long involvement with scientific ocean drilling and the collective experience of the PI and co-PIs provide a strong foundation that will ensure the office is managed efficiently and with an eye toward providing superior service to the U.S scientific community. USSSP-IODP will support numerous components of the U.S. IODP effort, including travel costs for program development and planning, expedition participation and pre-and post-drilling activities. Salary support for U.S. scientific party members on both the JOIDES Resolution and non-U.S. drilling vessels will also be provided. The LDEO and Columbia administration groups have extensive experience with establishing subawards and are well positioned to provide these services on behalf of the USSSP-IODP. The reorganized U.S. Science Advisory Committee (USAC) will coordinate or provide reviews of proposals and applications from the U.S. IODP community and will provide the implementing organizations with recommendations for shipboard staffing. USAC will also advise USSSP-IODP in establishing goals for U.S activities in IODP, promote the development of working groups and individual drilling proposals, and provide oversight of the USSSP Office.

Lamont-Doherty地球观测站（LDEO）将管理与国际海洋发现计划（USSSP-IODP）相关的美国科学支持计划。美国科学支持计划的明智管理将使美国科学界能够从IODP钻井平台中最大化科学回报，并探讨2013 - 2023年IODP科学计划中概述的主要主题。其中包括监视过去的气候和海洋变化；追求对子层生物和生态系统的更多了解；检查地球表面环境与深度过程之间的联系；并增加了我们对地震，滑坡和海啸等地球灾害的理解。科学海洋钻探仍然是重建地球历史并改善其未来的预测模型的杰出工具之一。 IODP还提供了一种手段，使年轻的研究人员和研究生可以与经验丰富的科学家一起工作，这些科学家将担任导师和领导者。从IODP获得的结果将构成一个重要的数据集，该数据应该在未来几十年中为社会政策提供信息。此外，USSSP-IODP将继续进行全面的外展计划，以提高公众对IODP成就的认识。推广工作将包括家庭学习机会以及传统媒体和基于互联网的计划（例如社交媒体）的使用。 LDEO尽可能多地通过使用船上的视频，在线访谈和问答环节以及博物馆和其他非正式学习中心的特别外展活动来将IODP科学家与公众直接接触。通过与美国自然历史博物馆的合作，估计有15,000名家庭访客将在米尔斯坦科学系列的一部分中参加与IODP相关的讲座，然后他们将与IODP研究人员和基于IODP的IODP特定活动的教育者进行互动。此外，IODP的多学科性质使其成为STEM教育发展和计划的理想平台。 USSSP-IODP将通过与IODP相关的专业开发计划中的各个级别的教师吸引教师，并为他们提供有机会作为Rock Scholution或New New Onober Program的一部分进行启航。 LDEO长期参与了科学海洋钻探，PI和Co-Pis的集体经验为确保办公室有效地管理，并着眼于为美国科学界提供优质的服务。 USSSP-IODP将支持美国IODP的众多组成部分，包括用于计划开发和计划的旅行费用，探险参与以及滴注前和滴注后的活动。还将提供对美国科学党成员的工资支持，以解决加入的解决方案和非美国钻井船。 LDEO和哥伦比亚政府团体在建立子武器方面具有丰富的经验，并且在代表USSSP-IODP提供这些服务方面有好处。重组的美国科学咨询委员会（USAC）将协调或对美国IODP社区的建议和申请进行审查，并将为实施组织提供有关船舶人员配备的建议。 USAC还将建议USSSP-IODP在IODP建立美国活动的目标，促进工作组和个人钻探建议的发展，并提供对USSSP办公室的监督。
