This program (US-SCAR) supports and strengthens U.S. participation in the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR). SCAR is an international organization established in 1958 to facilitate international collaborations in Antarctic science, and SCAR serves as an advisor to the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS). The U.S. is one of 12 founding member countries of SCAR (there are currently 44 members), and Americans have consistently played a strong role in SCAR leadership. US-SCAR promotes the progress of polar science within the U.S. and the international Antarctic scientific community by facilitating the attendance of U.S. scientists, particularly early career researchers, at the SCAR Open Science Conferences and Symposia on Biology and Earth Sciences.The U.S. National Committee for SCAR is the Polar Research Board (PRB) (US National Academies), and funding for the PRB comes from various government agencies. The PRB budget does not include funding for US-SCAR activities, however. This program absorbs a variety of costs associated with U.S. participation in SCAR, including travel to meetings, enhancing outreach capabilities, and establishing a more effective format to ensure maximum US participation in SCAR initiatives. US-SCAR provides opportunities for U.S. scientists, especially early career researchers, to 1) present their work in an international forum, 2) learn about the most recent findings on all aspects of Antarctic science, 3) establish and strengthen international contacts and collaborations, and 4) be actively involved in the development of new directions and the establishment of new frontiers in the international framework of polar science.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.

该计划（US-SCAR）支持并加强了美国在南极研究科学委员会（SCAR）的参与。 Scar是一家国际组织，成立于1958年，旨在促进南极科学的国际合作，Scar是南极条约系统（ATS）的顾问。 美国是疤痕的12个创始成员国之一（目前有44名成员），美国人在疤痕领导中一直发挥着重要作用。 US-SCAR通过促进美国科学家，尤其是早期职业研究人员的出席，在疤痕开放科学会议和生物学和地球科学专题讨论会上促进美国科学的进步和国际南极科学界的进步。 但是，PRB预算不包括用于美国扫描活动的资金。 该计划吸收了与美国参与疤痕有关的各种费用，包括参加会议旅行，增强外展能力以及建立更有效的格式，以确保美国最大程度地参与疤痕计划。 US-SCAR为美国科学家，尤其是早期职业研究人员提供了机会。使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响评估标准进行评估。
