Because migratory birds travel across political and cultural boundaries, their study and conservation requires collaboration between countries and cultures. Such collaboration is now commonplace in the Northern Hemisphere, but it has lagged behind in South America due to obstacles in communication, lack of standardization, and lack of funds. To overcome these obstacles and catalyze international research on bird migration in South America, this award supports a workshop to form the Aves Internacionales Network (in Portuguese: "Rede Aves Internacionais"; in Spanish: "Red Aves Internacionales"). The workshop, which is co-organized by Miguel Marini of the Universidade de Brasilia (Brazil), Victor Cueto of the Universidad de Buenos Aires (Argentina), and Ana Maria Mamani of the Museo de Historia Natural Noel Kempff Mercado (Bolivia), will coincide with the 25th International Ornithological Congress (IOC) in Campos do Jordão, Brazil, in August 2010. Research topics generated by workshop participants will center around two interrelated goals: (1) developing hypotheses on bird migration in South America and collecting data to test those hypotheses, and (2) testing hypotheses on how bird migration differs in South and North America. In combination, these two goals will provide a new, geographically broader perspective about how and why New World birds migrate. This workshop aims to develop a research agenda based on questions that cannot be answered by any single research group, but which require international collaboration across North and South America. Participants will be drawn from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, and the United States, and will include active members of MIGRATE, a NSF-funded program to study migration in the Northern Hemisphere. Many of the workshop participants will be students or young professionals, personally committed to fostering long-term partnerships with international colleagues. The workshop will contribute to knowledge about socially relevant issues such as climate change, land-use patterns, and the avian spread of diseases, and will also generate a series of education-based activities in both North and South America.

由于候鸟跨越政治和文化边界，它们的研究和保护需要国家和文化之间的合作。这样的合作现在在北方半球很常见，但由于沟通障碍、缺乏标准化和缺乏资金，在南美洲已经落后了。 为了克服这些障碍，促进南美洲鸟类迁徙的国际研究，该奖项支持一个研讨会，以形成Aves Internacionales网络（葡萄牙语：“雷德Aves Internacionais”;西班牙语：“Red Aves Internacionales”）。 该研讨会由巴西利亚大学（巴西）的Miguel Marini、布宜诺斯艾利斯大学（阿根廷）的维克托Cueto和诺埃尔·肯普夫·梅尔卡多自然历史博物馆（玻利维亚）的Ana Maria Mamani共同组织，将与2010年8月在巴西坎波斯杜若尔当举行的第25届国际鸟类学大会（IOC）同时举行。 研讨会参与者产生的研究主题将围绕两个相互关联的目标：（1）发展南美洲鸟类迁徙的假设，并收集数据来验证这些假设，（2）验证南美洲和北美洲鸟类迁徙的不同假设。 结合起来，这两个目标将提供一个新的，地理上更广泛的角度来看，如何和为什么新世界鸟类迁移。 该研讨会旨在根据任何单一研究小组无法回答的问题制定研究议程，但需要南北美洲的国际合作。 与会者将来自阿根廷、玻利维亚、巴西、哥伦比亚和美国，并将包括MIGRATE的积极成员，MIGRATE是一个由NSF资助的研究北方半球移民的项目。研讨会的许多参与者将是学生或年轻的专业人士，他们个人致力于与国际同事建立长期的伙伴关系。 该讲习班将有助于了解气候变化、土地使用模式和疾病的禽类传播等社会相关问题，并将在北美和南美开展一系列以教育为基础的活动。
