0336541白色该奖项为美国国家科学院成为国际应用系统分析研究所（IIASA）的国家成员组织（NMO）提供支持。 美国通过该组织参与该组织的管理和方案的制定。 IIASA是一个国际研究机构，位于奥地利维也纳附近，由多学科的国际研究人员组成的研究小组对与全球变化的环境、技术和经济方面有关的问题进行研究。 第一，通过参加系统分析所理事会并与该组织直接互动，参与研究所的管理。 该委员会与感兴趣的美国政府机构和研究人员合作，就系统分析所的研究、预算和行政管理提出美国的意见。 它还有助于确保该研究所的完整性，并指导IIASA的研究计划，以保持其质量及其与美国研究和政策问题的相关性。 第二个职责是作为美国科学、技术和政策界的联络人，目标是提高美国学术界、政府、企业和非政府组织对IIASA的参与和认识。 这包括征聘和资助系统分析所的高级研究生青年科学家暑期方案;帮助为系统分析所的职位空缺寻找合适的候选人;作为感兴趣的学者和决策者的国家网络的中心;并帮助IIASA寻找参与国家政策辩论的机会。为了履行其作为美国NMO的职能，国家科学院将为系统分析所建立一个新的国家委员会，在国家研究理事会的主持下运作，并设在国际科学组织委员会的政策和全球事务司内。 美国委员会主席代表美国国家气象组织出席系统应用分析所理事会会议，并将与系统应用分析所主任合作，指导和加强系统应用分析所的研究方案。 国家委员会将对IIASA的年度研究计划进行审查，征求学术界、政府和美国科学界其他专家的意见。

0336541White This award provides support to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences to be the National Member Organization (NMO), i.e. the U.S. member, to the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA). It is through the NMO that the United States participates in the governance of the organization and the development of its programs. IIASA is an international research institution located near Vienna, Austria, where multidisciplinary, international teams of researchers conduct research on issues related to environmental, technological, and economic aspects of global change.The U.S. NMO has two primary responsibilities. The first is to take part in the governance of the Institute through participation on the IIASA Council and direct interaction with the organization. The Committee works with interested U.S. Government agencies and researchers in formulating U.S. views regarding IIASA's research, budget, and administration. It also helps insure the integrity of the Institute and guides the IIASA research program in ways that will maintain its quality and its relevance to U.S. research and policy concerns. The second responsibility is to serve as a liaison to the U.S. science, technology, and policy communities, with the goal of increasing participation in and awareness of IIASA by Americans in academia, government, business, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). This includes recruiting for and funding IIASA's Young Scientists Summer Program for advanced graduate students; helping to find suitable candidates for IIASA's job vacancies; serving as the hub of a national network of interested scholars and policymakers; and helping IIASA to find opportunities to participate in national policy debates.To carry out its functions as the U.S. NMO, the National Academies will establish a new national committee for IIASA, operating under the auspices of the National Research Council and residing within the Board on International Scientific Organizations, in the Policy and Global Affairs division. The chairman of the U.S. Committee represents the U.S. NMO at IIASA's Council meetings and will work with the Director of IIASA to guide and strengthen the IIASA research program. The national committee will prepare a review of IIASA's annual research plan, soliciting comments from academic, government, and other experts in the U.S. scientific community.
