Hordijk0715160This grant provides the American membership contribution toward core support for the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) for the years 2006-2010. IIASA is an independent, non-governmental, multilateral research institution devoted to interdisciplinary, policy-oriented research. The Institute serves as a neutral forum for sustained investigation and discussion of global and international issues, with a research agenda covering a broad range of global change issues. It is located in Laxenburg, Austria, near Vienna.IIASA is supported by a network of nongovernmental National Member Organizations (NMOs) in 18 countries throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Each NMO sends one representative to the IIASA Governing Council, which appoints a Director to serve as Chief Executive Officer for the Institute. The Director is responsible for the formulation and execution of all Institute activities, including preparing budgets and research programs for submission to the Council, which must approve them annually. Prof. Leen Hordijk has served as Director of IIASA since July 2002, and the Council will appoint a new Director to succeed him in July 2008. The U.S. Council member, Professor Simon Levin, has served as Council Chair since November, 2003, and was appointed to a second three-year term beginning November 2006.IIASA's research is conducted within three core themes: Environment and Natural Resources; Population and Society; and Energy and Technology. IIASA investigators combine methods and models from both natural and social sciences in analyses that provide policy insight on global change issued for decision makers, the scientific community, and the public worldwide.The Institute's budget for 2005 was approximately twelve million EURO, of which 62% was provided by membership payments from the NMO nations. The project work at IIASA is highly leveraged through international scientific networks of researchers and research institutions that contribute their skills, resources, and specific local knowledge.The intellectual merit of IIASA's research activities is demonstrated through the institute's publication record in peer-reviewed journals; the worldwide interest in collaboration with IIASA's research programs; and the recruitment of IIASA scientists to contribute to international scientific partnerships such as the IPCC, World Food Summits, Millennium Development Goals, FAO Agro-Ecological Studies, the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, and UN Population studies. The research quality is maintained through a system of Council oversight, external reviews, and strategic assessments by an external Science Advisory Committee.Broader impacts are inherent in IIASA's research agenda, which addresses many of the most difficult issues facing the world in the 21st Century: energy security, climate change, land use change and agriculture, population growth and human capital, and catastrophic risk. Every program is designed to cross disciplinary boundaries and be relevant to policy issues. All programs include components for dissemination and application of the results, in addition to publication in the peer-reviewed literature. IIASA works closely with the U.S. NMO to incorporate U.S. input and interests in the research program, and to ensure that its research results are known and utilized in appropriate research and policy fora in the U.S. Moreover, IIASA's Young Scientists Summer Program offers a unique opportunity for graduate students to explore the policy implications of their graduate work in an international setting, with 50 other students from around the world, and emerge with a network of colleagues on whom they can call throughout their careers.

Hordijk0715160这笔赠款为2006-2010年国际应用系统分析研究所(IIASA)的核心支持提供美国成员的捐款。IIASA是一个独立的、非政府的、多边研究机构，致力于跨学科、以政策为导向的研究。研究所是持续调查和讨论全球和国际问题的中立论坛，其研究议程涵盖广泛的全球变化问题。IIASA位于奥地利拉克森堡，靠近维也纳。IIASA得到北美、欧洲、亚洲和中东18个国家的非政府国家成员组织(NMOS)网络的支持。每个国家气象组织派一名代表参加研究所理事会，该理事会任命一名主任担任研究所的首席执行官。所长负责制定和执行研究所的所有活动，包括编制预算和研究方案提交理事会，理事会必须每年批准这些预算和研究方案。Leen Hordijk教授自2002年7月以来一直担任研究所所长，理事会将于2008年7月任命一位新的所长接替他。美国理事会成员西蒙·莱文教授自2003年11月以来一直担任理事会主席，并被任命为第二个三年任期，从2006年11月开始。IIASA的研究围绕三个核心主题进行：环境与自然资源；人口与社会；能源与技术。IIASA的研究人员结合了自然科学和社会科学的方法和模型，在分析中为决策者、科学界和全世界公众提供了关于全球变化的政策洞察力。该研究所2005年的预算约为1200万欧元，其中62%来自国家气象组织国家的会费。IIASA的项目工作通过由研究人员和研究机构组成的国际科学网络得到高度利用，这些研究人员和研究机构贡献了他们的技能、资源和特定的当地知识。IIASA的研究活动的学术价值体现在该研究所在同行评议期刊上的发表记录；全世界对IIASA研究计划的合作兴趣；以及IIASA科学家的招募，以促进IPCC、世界粮食峰会、千年发展目标、粮农组织农业生态研究、千年生态系统评估和联合国人口研究等国际科学伙伴关系。研究质量是通过理事会监督、外部审查和外部科学咨询委员会的战略评估系统来保持的。广泛的影响是IIASA研究议程所固有的，该议程解决了21世纪世界面临的许多最困难的问题：能源安全、气候变化、土地利用变化和农业、人口增长和人力资本以及灾难性风险。每个项目的设计都要跨越学科界限，并与政策问题相关。除了在同行评议的文献中发表之外，所有方案都包括传播和应用结果的组成部分。IIASA与美国国家气象组织密切合作，将美国的意见和兴趣纳入研究计划，并确保其研究成果为美国适当的研究和政策论坛所知和利用。此外，IIASA的青年科学家暑期计划为研究生提供了一个独特的机会，让他们与来自世界各地的其他50名学生一起，在国际背景下探索他们的研究生工作的政策影响，并结识一个他们可以在整个职业生涯中拜访的同事网络。
