In 1986, the twenty-first General Assembly of the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) established the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme: A Study of Global Change. Over the next ten years, the IGBP is charged with describing and understanding the interactive physical, chemical, and biological processes that regulate the total Earth system, the unique environment that it provides for life, the changes that are occuring in this system, and the manner in which they are influenced by human actions. For a number of reasons, the IGBP presently includes very little social science research that would aid in understanding human activities that affect the development of global models. Consequently, several groups, including the ISSC, have taken steps to launch a social science research program to complement IGBP. They have planned a major international symposium which will take place in Tokyo in 1988 to develop a preliminary plan for an international social science research program that will complement the IGBP. This small grant will underwrite a planning workshop so that U.S. social scientists can meet to help shape the international social science research program that will complement the IGBP. The workshop participants will make recommendations to the steering group that will be responsible for organizing the Tokyo symposium about the agenda, organization, and structuring of the symposium. Equally as important, they will make recommendations about the development of a research program that U.S. social scientists would undertake as the U.S. national component of the international program. Social scientists from many disciplines and specialties within disciplines will participate in the workshop which will be held at the Institute for Social Research of the University of Michigan in the Fall of l987. The models and agendas that will be developed at this workshop will have great scientific value both for the aims of the IGBP and for important future directions of social science. By nature of the structure of the social sciences, theoretical and empirical work has not by and large focused on the interaction between human activities and natural changes in the world environment. Similarly, the natural sciences have not come to terms with the interplay of natural events and social, economic, cultural, political, and legal factors. This workshop will be an important first step toward the long-term goal of relating the study of human activities and how they change to global models of natural phenomena.

1986年，联合国第二十一届大会 国际科学联合会理事会（科联理事会）设立了 国际地圈-生物圈方案：全球 变化 在接下来的十年里，IGBP将负责 描述和理解相互作用的物理，化学， 以及调节整个地球系统的生物过程， 它为生命提供的独特环境， 在这个系统中发生的事情，以及他们 都受到人类行为的影响。 出于多种原因， IGBP目前包括很少的社会科学研究， 将有助于了解人类活动影响 建立全球模型。 因此，一些团体， 包括ISSC在内，已经采取措施， 研究计划，以补充IGBP。 他们计划了一个重大的 将于1988年在东京举行的国际研讨会， 初步规划国际社会科学 该研究计划将补充IGBP。 这笔小额赠款将资助一个规划讲习班， 美国社会科学家可以会面，帮助塑造国际社会 社会科学研究计划，将补充IGBP。 研讨会与会者将向 指导小组将负责组织东京 关于议程，组织和结构的研讨会， 研讨会 同样重要的是，他们将提出建议， 关于美国社会发展的研究项目， 科学家们将承担作为美国的国家组成部分， 国际项目。 来自多个学科的社会科学家 学科内的专业将参加 将在社会研究所举行的讲习班 1987年秋天，密歇根大学。 本次会议将制定的模式和议程 研讨会将有很大的科学价值， 国际地圈生物圈计划和社会科学的重要未来方向。 根据社会科学结构的性质， 而实证研究基本上并没有把重点放在 人类活动与自然变化之间的相互作用 世界环境。 同样，自然科学也没有 自然事件和社会事件的相互作用， 经济、文化、政治和法律的因素。 这次研讨会 将是实现长期目标的重要第一步， 将人类活动及其变化的研究与 自然现象的全球模型。
