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.

为了能够在其合作研究网络的基础上更好地发展，IAI已经要求其目前的CRN 2（GEO-0452325）和小型赠款计划-人文因素（GEO-0642841）的研究人员提交提案，以推进最好的科学，最有前途的研究计划，并支持最具创新性的跨学科团队。目前的提案旨在为将作为该呼吁下的子奖项进行的研究提供资金。通过IAI的审查和小组评估选出了优秀的提案？科学咨询委员会。在目前的21个CRN SGP-HD项目中，有13个提交了提案，其中9个被选中获得可能的资助。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，以及通过巩固国际科学合作网络和机构联系，拟议的计划具有更广泛的影响力。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，而且还指导了IAI的科学管理，使其能够为非洲大陆就全球变化问题作出知情决策提供最佳科学。即1992年5月13日在蒙得维的亚签署的《建立美洲全球变化研究所协定》（简称“IAI协定”）。IAI协议创建了一个政府间组织，以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”，确定特定的研究领域。IAI的正式成员仅限于国家。研究所由缔约方年度会议和附属执行理事会（欧共体）管理。美国政府目前担任欧盟委员会主席。国际航空工业协会具有国际组织的基本体制特征：它是根据国际协定创建的，由国家组成，并由国家代表组成的理事机构管理。美国政府积极参与IAI。美国在IAI的创建中发挥了主导作用，并自IAI创建以来一直积极参与。美国政府高级官员曾在执行理事会任职，并担任与国际航空工业协会活动有关的其他负责职务。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。3343和5美国3581，并因此被国家和总理办公室承认为合法的国际条约组织。
