Collaborative Research: International Human Dimension of Global Change Programme (IHDP) Research Activities

对世界环境变化的关注促使来自许多不同国家的科学家在广泛的研究和培训活动上进行合作。其中许多活动由以下三个主要国际组织中的一个或多个协调：由世界气象组织监督的世界气候研究计划（WCRP）；由国际科学联合会理事会监督的国际地圈-生物圈方案（IGBP）；国际人类层面全球环境变化方案（IHDP），该方案由国际科学联合会理事会（ICSU）监督，并得到国际社会科学理事会（ISSC）的合作。IHDP秘书处负责IHDP活动的行政协调，该秘书处在德国教育、科学、研究和技术部（BMBF）的大笔赠款下在波恩大学运作。该奖项是三个合作奖项之一，为推动IHDP项目的三套行政活动提供支持：(1)支持IHDP秘书处的核心预算，使其能够加强和扩大新的科学活动的参与，在发展中国家和转型经济体建立人类全球变化（HDGC）基础设施，并让更多来自发展中国家和转型经济体的研究人员参与IHDP活动；(2)支持印第安纳大学土地利用和土地覆盖变化项目办公室第一重点办公室的工作，使其能够促进和支持与土地利用动态比较案例研究分析有关的研究和联网活动；(3)支持达特茅斯学院全球环境变化国际维度项目国际项目办公室（IPO）的工作。通过这些活动，促进了全球范围内涉及人与环境相互作用的重要课题的协作性跨学科研究，促进了许多国家，特别是发展中国家科学家的参与，否则这些国家缺乏参与这些广泛努力的资源。IHDP秘书处活动的核心支持由美国国家科学基金会代表参与美国全球变化研究计划（USGCRP）的机构提供，而对发展中国家科学家参与的额外支持以及对焦点1办公室和IDGCE-IPO的支持则由美国国家科学基金会社会、行为和经济科学理事会提供。

Concerns about changes in the world's environment have led scientists from many different nations to collaborate on a broad range of research and training activities. Many of these activities are coordinated by one or more of three major international organizations: the World Climate Research Program (WCRP), which is overseen by the World Meteorological Organization; the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP), which is overseen by the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU); and the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP), which is overseen by the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) with cooperation from the International Social Science Council (ISSC). Administrative coordination of IHDP activities is undertaken by the IHDP Secretariat, which functions at the University of Bonn under a major grant from the German Ministry for Education, Science, Research and Technology (BMBF). This award is one of three collaborative awards that provide support for three sets of administrative activities to further IHDP programs: (1) support for the IHDP Secretariat's core budget to enable it to enhance and expand the involvement of new scientific activities, to build human dimensions of global change (HDGC) infrastructure in developing nations and transition economies, and to involve more researchers from developing nations and transition economies in IHDP activities; (2) support for the work of the Focus 1 office of the Land-Use and Land-Cover Change (LUCC) Project office at Indiana University, to enable it to promote and support research and networking activities associated with the Land-Use Dynamics comparative case-study analyses; and (3) support for the work of the International Project Office (IPO) of the International Dimensions of Global Environmental Change project at Dartmouth College. Through these activities, collaborative, interdisciplinary research on important topics dealing with human-environmental interaction around the globe are facilitated, as is the involvement of the scientists from many nations, especially those from developing nations who otherwise lack the resources to engage in these broad-ranging efforts. Core support for IHDP Secretariat activities is provided by NSF on behalf of the agencies participating in the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP), while additional support for the involvement of scientists from developing nations as well as support for the Focus 1 Office and the IDGCE-IPO is provided by the NSF Directorate for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences.
