0533957CollinsThis award provides support to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences to carry out its responsibilities as the United States National Member Organization (NMO) of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA). These responsibilities take two forms: participating in governance of the Institute through participation in the IIASA Council and direct interaction with the organization; and facilitating and encouraging U.S. interest in IIASA's activities. The Board on International Organizations (BISO) of the National Research Council (NRC) executes these responsibilities through theU.S. Committee for IIASA, chaired by Professor Simon Levin of Princeton.IIASA was established in 1972 as a multilateral, non-governmental research institution devoted to interdisciplinary, policy-oriented research. At IIASA, multidisciplinary, international teams of researchers conduct research on issues related to environmental, technological, and economic aspects of global change, including energy and technology, population, and natural resources. The Institute thus serves as a neutral forum for sustained investigation and discussion of global and international issues. It is located in Laxenburg, Austria, near Vienna.The intellectual merit of the proposal consists of the work by the U.S. NMO, in collaboration with interested U.S. researchers and Government agencies, to formulate U.S. views regarding IIASA's research, budget, and administration. This helps to 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 NMO works to broaden the impact of the Institute and its work by serving 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. The chairman of the U.S. Committee represents the U.S. NMO at IIASA's Council meetings. The Council is composed of representatives from the 16 NMO's; each NMO country pays an annual membership contribution. The U.S. Council member was elected to a three-year term as Chairman of the Council in November 2003, and he works with the Director of IIASA, the IIASA Council Program Committee, and the IIASA Science Advisory Committee to guide and strengthen the IIASA research program. The U.S. national committee carries out an annual review of IIASA's research progress, soliciting comments from academic, government, and other experts in the U.S. scientific community.

该奖项支持美国国家科学院履行其作为国际应用系统分析研究所(IIASA)美国国家成员组织(NMO)的职责。这些责任有两种形式：通过参与IIASA理事会和与该组织的直接互动参与研究所的管理；促进和鼓励美国对IIASA的活动感兴趣。国家研究理事会(NRC)的国际组织委员会(BISO)通过由普林斯顿大学西蒙·莱文教授担任主席的美国IIASA委员会履行这些职责。IIASA成立于1972年，是一个致力于跨学科、政策性研究的多边非政府研究机构。在IIASA，多学科的国际研究团队就全球变化的环境、技术和经济方面的问题进行研究，包括能源和技术、人口和自然资源。因此，研究所是持续调查和讨论全球和国际问题的中立论坛。它位于维也纳附近的奥地利拉克森堡。该提案的学术价值包括美国国家气象组织与感兴趣的美国研究人员和政府机构合作，制定美国对IIASA的研究、预算和管理的看法。这有助于确保研究所的完整性，并以保持其质量及其与美国研究和政策关注的相关性的方式指导IIASA研究计划。国家气象组织致力于扩大研究所及其工作的影响，作为与美国科学、技术和政策界的联络人，目的是提高美国学术界、政府、企业和非政府组织(NGO)对IIASA的参与和认识。这包括招募和资助IIASA面向高级研究生的青年科学家暑期计划；帮助为IIASA的职位空缺寻找合适的候选人；作为感兴趣的学者和政策制定者的全国网络的中心；以及帮助IIASA找到参与国家政策辩论的机会。美国委员会主席代表美国国家气象组织出席国际航空航天局理事会会议。理事会由16个国家气象组织的代表组成；每个国家气象组织国家每年缴纳一次会费。这位美国理事会成员于2003年11月当选为理事会主席，任期三年，他与IIASA主任、IIASA理事会项目委员会和IIASA科学咨询委员会合作，指导和加强IIASA的研究计划。美国国家委员会对IIASA的研究进展进行年度审查，征求学术、政府和美国科学界其他专家的意见。
