This proposal is for a workshop to address scientific, technical, and organizational issues that pertain to launching USA National Phenology Network (USA-NPN). Science issues to be addressed at this workshop include the selection and prioritization of appropriate plant species and events to observe, and development of observation protocols. The participants will formalize a standardized web-based reporting system for observers and develop a data management plan. The workshop will address organizational issues including observations site location, plans for public participation, and cooperative agreements with existing sites and networks. Intellectual Merits of the Workshop: The USA National Phenology Network (USA-NPN) is an emerging partnership among academic communities, federal agencies, and volunteers. An Implementation Team (IT) consisting of 28 scientists spanning multiple disciplines, institutions and related environmental networks has been established. The four observation tiers, represent different levels of spatial coverage and quality/quantity of phenological and related environmental information: 1) Locally intensive sites focused on process studies; 2) Spatially extensive scientific networks focused on large-scale phenomena; 3) Volunteer and Education Networks; and 4) Remote sensing products that can be ground-truthed and assimilated to extend surface phenological observations to the continental-scale. This second workshop will provide an essential component to: 1) Inform and guide final NPN design and implementation with sound science; 2) Finalize initial species and protocols for data collection by students, citizen-scientists, and scientists, starting in spring 2007, including lists of target species representative of the Nation's ecoregions and customized for each of four network tiers; 3) Plan initially needed web resources; 4) Develop an initial data management plan; and 5) Draft initial cooperative agreements for co-location at existing sites and networks. Broader Impacts: USA-NPN is a unique opportunity to increase collaboration between federal agencies and the academic community, to facilitate and recruit public participation in the study and understanding of Nature, and to serve public needs in Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Health, Recreation, and Natural Resources. The USA-NPN will actively support exchange and training programs for students and researchers from participating organizations, as well as participation by students, citizens, and scientists from under-represented communities in all network activities. The USA-NPN is committed to substantial participation from members of the public as citizen-scientist phenological observers.

本提案旨在举办一个研讨会，以解决与启动美国国家物候学网络（USA- npn）有关的科学、技术和组织问题。本次研讨会将讨论的科学问题包括选择和优先考虑适当的植物物种和观察事件，以及制定观察方案。与会者将为观察员正式制定一个标准化的基于网络的报告系统，并制定一项数据管理计划。讲习班将讨论组织问题，包括观察地点、公众参与计划以及与现有地点和网络的合作协议。研讨会的知识价值：美国国家物候网络（USA- npn）是学术界、联邦机构和志愿者之间的新兴伙伴关系。一个由28名来自多个学科、机构和相关环境网络的科学家组成的实施小组已经成立。四个观测层代表了不同的空间覆盖水平和物候及相关环境信息的质量/数量：1)集中于过程研究的局部密集站点；2)以大尺度现象为中心的空间广泛的科学网络；3)志愿者和教育网络；(4)遥感产品的地面真实性和同化，将地表物候观测扩展到大陆尺度。第二次研讨会将提供一个重要组成部分：1)以健全的科学为最终的NPN设计和实施提供信息和指导；2)从2007年春季开始，最终确定学生、公民科学家和科学家收集数据的初始物种和协议，包括代表国家生态区域的目标物种清单，并为四个网络层中的每一个定制；3)规划初期所需的网络资源；4)制定初步的数据管理计划；5)草拟初步合作协议，在现有地点和网络上进行共置。更广泛的影响：USA-NPN是一个独特的机会，可以加强联邦机构和学术界之间的合作，促进和招募公众参与对自然的研究和理解，并满足农业、商业、教育、卫生、娱乐和自然资源方面的公众需求。美国国家网络计划将积极支持来自参与组织的学生和研究人员的交流和培训项目，以及来自代表性不足社区的学生、公民和科学家参与所有网络活动。美国国家自然保护区致力于让公众作为公民科学家物候学观察员积极参与。
