The Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH) synthesizes research findings and promotes arctic science across disciplines and among agencies, coordinates national arctic environmental science programs and facilitates integration of research activities across scales with stakeholder concerns incorporated from the start of the planning process, provides information resources to arctic stakeholders, policy-makers, and the public to help them respond to arctic environmental change, and represents the U.S. arctic environmental change science community in international and global change research initiatives. Meeting these goals relies on a range of coordination, planning and assessment activities. This project will provide these through leadership of the SEARCH program in a time of rapid Arctic change and urgent information needs at the agency and societal level. Under the auspices of SEARCH, this project will support a range of activities targeting (1) strategic planning, (2) assessment and implementation, (3) coordination and (4) communication through leadership of the Science Steering Committee and engagement of SEARCH partner agencies, key national and international programs and important stakeholders.While the proposed activities do not comprise any scientific research as such, they serve to advance scientific discovery and innovation by building a framework that fosters advanced, cross-cutting research in a range of disciplines. Assessments of past research and coordination activities as well as communication of (unpublished) advances in interdisciplinary, integrated Arctic science will engage the research community and lead to new findings and insights. Synergy derived from enhanced coordination of cross-disciplinary and international research activities will lead to new perspectives on overarching research questions which in turn are likely to lead to new discoveries.Broader impacts: The project activities help the US research community and SEARCH partner agencies in developing a coordinated and effective response to the challenges and opportunities associated with rapid arctic environmental and socio-economic change. In particular, the project works to support the SEARCH effort in providing a scientific foundation to help society understand and respond to a rapidly changing Arctic, leading to decision-making informed by an understanding of arctic environmental change.

北极环境变化研究(SEARCH)综合研究成果，促进跨学科和跨机构的北极科学，协调国家北极环境科学项目，促进从规划过程开始就纳入利益相关者关切的跨规模研究活动的整合，为北极利益相关者、政策制定者和公众提供信息资源，帮助他们应对北极环境变化，并在国际和全球变化研究计划中代表美国北极环境变化科学界。实现这些目标有赖于一系列协调、规划和评估活动。该项目将在北极迅速变化以及机构和社会层面迫切需要信息的情况下，通过领导搜索计划来提供这些信息。在Search的赞助下，该项目将支持一系列活动，目标是(1)战略规划，(2)评估和实施，(3)协调和(4)通过科学指导委员会的领导和搜索伙伴机构、关键的国家和国际项目和重要利益相关者的参与进行沟通。虽然拟议的活动本身不包括任何科学研究，但它们通过建立一个框架，促进在一系列学科中的先进的、交叉的研究，从而促进科学发现和创新。对过去研究和协调活动的评估以及对跨学科综合北极科学进展(未发表)的宣传将使研究界参与进来，并产生新的发现和见解。通过加强跨学科和国际研究活动的协调而产生的协同效应将导致对总体研究问题的新视角，这反过来又可能导致新的发现。广泛的影响：项目活动帮助美国研究界和搜索伙伴机构制定协调和有效的应对与快速北极环境和社会经济变化相关的挑战和机遇。特别是，该项目致力于支持搜索工作，提供科学基础，帮助社会了解和应对迅速变化的北极，从而在了解北极环境变化的基础上作出决策。
