This workship will bring together biologists, anthropologists, and archaeologists engaged in research on etnobiology, together with applied mathematicians, to identify future directions to facilitate growth and maturation on the field. The workshop will be organized in two parts: an initial 3-day workshop of the organizing committee of mid-career leaders in the field, followed by a widely advertised seminar to which attendance will be open. The workshop will attempt to define and focus research objectives; explore modern methodology appropriate for studying plant/animal-people interactions; assess and strengthen techniques for quantitative analyses of multidisciplinary data; develop interdisciplinary education models to train students and practicioners of ethnobiology; and develop strategies to improve access to academic funding sources. International research partners from the International Society of Ethnobiology will attend. The participants will be pledged to apply the insights and collaborative linkages developed in the workshop to preparing competitive proposals in etchnobiology to submit to relevant programs in NSF. The output will be a bulletin defining the intellectual imperatives in ethnobiology, which will be broadly distributed to professional societies, universities, government agencies and nongovernmental organizations.There are a variety of practical problems that would benefit from a more holistic and theoretically strong ethnobiology discipline. Due to the global nature of the workshop and the involvemente of foreign participants, the impact on research and education could be global in scope.This project is an award emananting from the FY 2001 special competition in Biocomplexity in the Envionment focusing on the Dynamics of Coupled Natural and Human Systems.

这项工作将汇集从事民族生物学研究的生物学家、人类学家和考古学家，以及应用数学家，以确定未来的方向，以促进该领域的发展和成熟。讲习班将分两部分组织：第一个为期3天的讲习班，由该领域的职业中期领导人组成的组织委员会举办，然后是一个广为宣传的讨论会，将开放出席。讲习班将尝试确定和集中研究目标；探索适合研究植物/动物-人互动的现代方法；评估和加强多学科数据的定量分析技术；发展跨学科的教育模式，培养学生和民族生物学的实践者；制定战略，改善获得学术资助来源的途径。来自国际民族生物学协会的国际研究伙伴将参加会议。与会者将承诺运用研讨会上发展起来的见解和合作联系，准备有竞争力的蚀刻生物学提案，提交给美国国家科学基金会的相关项目。产出将是一份确定人种生物学知识必要性的公报，将广泛分发给专业学会、大学、政府机构和非政府组织。有各种各样的实际问题，将受益于一个更全面的和理论上强大的民族生物学学科。由于讲习班的全球性和外国参加者的参与，对研究和教育的影响可能是全球性的。该项目是2001年度环境生物复杂性特别竞赛颁发的奖项，重点关注自然和人类系统耦合的动力学。
