Small Grants for Collaborative Research in the Americas (SGP-CRA)

为了能够在其最好的合作研究网络的基础上继续发展，IAI已要求其当前CRN(GEO-0452325)和小额赠款计划-人的层面(GEO-0642841)的调查人员提交建议，以促进最好的科学、最有前途的研究计划，并支持最具创新性的跨学科团队。目前的提案寻求为在该呼吁下作为子奖进行的研究提供资金。优秀建议由IAI？S科学咨询委员会通过评审和小组评估选出。在目前的21个CRN&Amp；SGP-HD项目中，13个提交了提案，其中9个被选定为可能的资助项目。拟议的项目通过与IAI成员国的决策者整合，通过促进利益相关者参与科学，并通过巩固国际科学合作网络和机构联系，产生了除研究之外的更广泛的影响。每个项目的多学科参与，特别是自然科学和人文科学之间的参与，不仅丰富了研究计划，还指导IAI的科学治理朝着其使命的方向发展，即为该大陆的全球变化问题提供最佳科学决策。美洲全球变化研究所(IAI)是根据美洲国家代表之间达成的一项国际协议创建的，即1992年5月13日在蒙得维的亚签订的建立美洲全球变化研究所的协议(IAI协议)。IAI协定设立了一个政府间组织，目的是协调和促进与全球变化有关的科学研究。该研究所有一个不断发展的“科学议程”，确定了特定的研究领域。IAI的正式成员仅限于国家。该研究所由缔约方年度会议和附属执行理事会(欧委会)管理。欧共体目前由美国政府担任主席。IAI具有国际组织的基本体制特征：它是根据国际协定设立的，由国家组成，由各国代表组成的理事机构管理。美国政府积极参与IAI。美国在IAI的创建过程中发挥了主导作用，并自IAI成立以来一直是其积极参与者。美国政府高级官员曾在执行委员会任职，并担任过与IAI活动有关的其他负责职位。此外，IAI已被国务院和人事管理办公室列为《联邦雇员国际组织服务法》所指的国际组织，由《美国法典》第5篇第343条和第5篇《美国法典》第3581条所涵盖，并因此被国家和人事管理处确认为合法的国际条约组织。

To be able to build on the best of its Collaborative Research Networks, the IAI has asked investigators of its current CRN2 (GEO-0452325) and Small Grants Program-Human Dimensions (GEO-0642841) to submit proposals to advance the best science, most promising research initiatives, and to support the most innovative cross-disciplinary teams. The current proposal seeks funding for research to be conducted as sub-awards under that call. Outstanding proposals have been selected through review and panel evaluation by the IAI?s Scientific Advisory Committee. Of the current 21 CRN & SGP-HD projects, 13 submitted proposals, of which 9 were selected for possible funding.The proposed program has a broader impact beyond its research though integration with decision makers from IAI member countries, through facilitating stakeholder participation in the science, and through the consolidation of international science collaboration networks and institutional links. Multidisciplinary participation in each project, particularly between the natural and human sciences not only enriches the research program but also guides IAI science governance towards its mandate of providing the best science for informed decision making on issues of global change on the continent.The Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) was created by an international agreement concluded among representatives of American States, namely the Agreement Establishing the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research, done at Montevideo on May 13, 1992 ('the IAI Agreement'). The IAI Agreement created an intergovernmental organization for the purposes of coordinating and promoting scientific research related to global change. The Institute has an evolving 'Scientific Agenda' identifying particular areas for research. Full membership in the IAI is limited to States. The Institute is governed by an annual Conference of the Parties, and by a subsidiary Executive Council (EC). The US Government currently chairs the EC. The IAI possesses the fundamental institutional characteristics of an international organization: it was created by international agreement, is composed of States and is governed by governing bodies composed of representatives of States. The US Government participates actively in the IAI. The United States played a leading role in the creation of the IAI and has been an active participant in the IAI since its creation. Senior US Government officials have served on the Executive Council and held other responsible positions related to IAI activities. Furthermore, the IAI has been listed by the State Department and by the Office of Personnel Management as an international organization within the meaning of the Federal Employees International Organization Service Act, covered by 5 U.S.C. 3343 and 5 U.S.C. 3581, and as such has been recognized by State and OPM as a legitimate International Treaty Organization.
