Partial Support for U.S. Participation in Research Projects at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA)

目标：授予美国艺术与科学学院的这一为期一年的奖项将用于为以下将在国际应用系统分析研究所(IIASA)进行的研究项目提供部分支持。美国科学院是遵守IIASA的美国国家成员组织(NMO)。将得到支持的研究项目如下：生物圈的生态可持续发展；气候影响的综合评估；人口老龄化；系统动力学；随机优化问题的算法开发；以及计算机集成制造。NSF工作人员打算与美国艺术与科学学院和IIASA人员密切合作，鼓励实施高质量的研究计划。基于科学和国家利益的考虑，NSF科学、技术和国际事务局(STIA)建议向美国艺术与科学学院提供45.5万美元的奖励，以表彰对IIASA的方案支持。1988年3月15日，国务院同意这一裁决符合美国的外交政策。

Objective: This one-year award to the American Academy of Arts and Science will be used to provide partial support for the research projects described below to be conducted at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA). The American Academy is the U.S. National Member Organization (NMO) adhering to IIASA. The research projects to be supported are the following: ecologically sustainable development of the biosphere; integrated assessment of climate impacts; population aging; system dynamics; and algorithm development for stochastic optimization problems; and computer-integrated manufacturing. NSF staff intends to work closely with the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and IIASA personnel to encourage the implementation of high-quality research programs. On the basis of scientific and national interest considerations, the NSF' Directorate of Scientific, Technological and International Affairs (STIA) recommends an award of $455,000 to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for programmatic support of IIASA. On March 15, 1988 the Department of State concurred that this award is consistent with the foreign policy of the United States.
