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）支持并加强美国对南极研究科学委员会（SCAR）的参与。 SCAR是一个成立于1958年的国际组织，旨在促进南极科学领域的国际合作，SCAR担任南极条约体系（ATS）的顾问。 美国是SCAR的12个创始成员国之一（目前有44个成员），美国人在SCAR的领导中一直发挥着强有力的作用。 US-SCAR 通过促进美国科学家，特别是早期职业研究人员参加 SCAR 开放科学会议以及生物学和地球科学研讨会，促进美国和国际南极科学界的极地科学进步。 SCAR是极地研究委员会（PRB）（美国国家科学院），PRB的资金来自各个政府机构。 然而，PRB 预算不包括 US-SCAR 活动的资金。 该计划吸收了与美国参与 SCAR 相关的各种成本，包括参加会议、增强外展能力以及建立更有效的形式以确保美国最大限度地参与 SCAR 倡议。 US-SCAR 为美国科学家，特别是早期职业研究人员提供机会：1）在国际论坛上展示他们的工作，2）了解南极科学各个方面的最新发现，3）建立和加强国际联系与合作， 4）积极参与极地科学国际框架中新方向的发展和新前沿的建立。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过利用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响进行评估，认为值得支持审查标准。
