The requested funding will be used to continue providing guidance on major ocean-related science, engineering, and policy issues to the federal ocean agencies, including the National Science Foundation. The Ocean Studies Board (OSB) is the focal point within the NRC for ocean-related science, engineering, and policy issues. The board explores the science, policies, and infrastructure needed to understand, manage, protect, and restore coastal and marine environments and resources. The board exercises leadership within the ocean community by helping identify and communicate the needs of the field, responds to specific requests from government agencies and Congress, and oversees a variety a study projects related to ocean science and engineering and their impacts on policy. The operations of OSB are funded by a number of federal agencies, including the National Science Foundation (NSF), Office of Naval Research (ONR), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The OSB strives to increase public awareness of ocean issues, to support ocean science education, and to enhance the dissemination and impact of OSB reports. The OSB also supports the recruitment of minorities into the earth sciences through participation in mentoring and fellowship programs. To further outreach and dissemination, The OSB provides report-in-briefs, a short summary (4-6 pages) of the key issues in reports; booklets on ocean themes; and brief overviews of new reports and ongoing activities through the production of a biennial report.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

所申请的资金将用于继续向包括国家科学基金会在内的联邦海洋机构提供与海洋相关的重大科学、工程和政策问题的指导。海洋研究委员会 (OSB) 是 NRC 内负责海洋相关科学、工程和政策问题的协调中心。该委员会探索了解、管理、保护和恢复沿海和海洋环境及资源所需的科学、政策和基础设施。该委员会通过帮助确定和传达该领域的需求，响应政府机构和国会的具体要求，并监督与海洋科学和工程及其对政策影响相关的各种研究项目，在海洋界发挥领导作用。 OSB 的运营由许多联邦机构资助，包括国家科学基金会 (NSF)、海军研究办公室 (ONR)、国家海洋和大气管理局 (NOAA)、国家航空航天局 (NASA) 和美国地质调查局 (USGS)。 OSB 致力于提高公众对海洋问题的认识，支持海洋科学教育，并增强 OSB 报告的传播和影响。 OSB 还通过参与指导和奖学金计划支持招募少数群体进入地球科学领域。为了进一步推广和传播，OSB 提供了简报，即报告中关键问题的简短摘要（4-6 页）；以海洋为主题的小册子；通过两年期报告的制作，对新报告和正在进行的活动进行简要概述。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
