As part of an NSF Consortium for Research on the Human Dimensions of Global Change, this award provides support for a collaborative study of global environmental assessment. This team effort is based at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government but involves scholars from Carnegie-Mellon, Cornell, and Duke Universities, and from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA). The goal of this project is to improve society's ability to integrate science-based assessments in the progressive development, implementation, and evaluation of responses to large-scale, long-term problems of global environmental change. The team conducts empirical and conceptual research, drawing on a variety of disciplinary perspectives, to advance understanding of how assessment is done, how it interacts with policy-making, politics, and negotiations, and how assessment practice could more usefully contribute to effective social management of global environmental change. The team seeks to develop more realistic models of relationships among assessment, policy making and management of global change, avoiding conventional views of assessment-policy relationships as linear and static, and uses these models to critique and improve current practice. Each year, the team recruits an international group of pre- and post-doctoral fellows, with backgrounds in both social and natural sciences. Fellows spend a year engaged in research on environmental assessment and policy, principally in residence at Harvard's Center for Science and International Affairs but with significant periods at the other member institutions. The team adopts one major focus each year -- either assessment experience on a particular global environmental issue, or a particular conceptual approach to the study and criticism of assessment. A one-week summer institute each year brings together all faculty and fellows for an intensive period of collaborative work drawing together the year's work, and producing a monograph for publication.

作为NSF全球变化人文因素研究联盟的一部分，该奖项为全球环境评估的合作研究提供支持。 这个团队的工作是基于哈佛大学肯尼迪政府学院，但涉及学者从卡内基梅隆大学，康奈尔大学，杜克大学，并从国际应用系统分析研究所（IIASA）。 该项目的目标是提高社会的能力，将科学评估纳入对全球环境变化的大规模长期问题的逐步制定、实施和评价对策。 该小组进行实证和概念研究，借鉴各种学科的观点，以促进了解如何进行评估，如何与决策，政治和谈判相互作用，以及评估实践如何更有效地促进全球环境变化的有效社会管理。 该小组寻求开发更现实的全球变化的评估，决策和管理之间的关系模型，避免传统的线性和静态的评估政策关系的观点，并使用这些模型来批评和改进目前的做法。 每年，该团队都会招募一批具有社会科学和自然科学背景的博士前和博士后研究员。 研究员花一年的时间从事环境评估和政策的研究，主要是在哈佛的科学和国际事务中心居住，但在其他成员机构的重要时期。 该小组每年采取一个主要重点-要么是对某一特定全球环境问题的评估经验，要么是对评估的研究和批评采取一种特定的概念方法。 每年一个为期一周的暑期研究所汇集了所有教师和研究员的合作工作的密集期绘制在一起的一年的工作，并产生一个专着出版。
