This award provides support for the U.S. National Academy of Sciences to carry out its responsibilities as the adhering body for the United States to DIVERSITAS, an international program of biodiversity science. The Board on International Organizations (BISO) of the National Research Council (NRC) executes these responsibilities through the U.S. National Committee for DIVERSITAS (USNC). The overarching goal of the USNC is to contribute constructively to the two DIVERSITAS goals: 1) understanding biodiversity and its importance, and 2) managing biodiversity and ecosystem services in a sustainable way. DIVERSITAS will establish a US National Committee of academics, government scientists, NGOs and policy makers to will contribute to the science-policy interface related to biodiversity and ecosystem services issues and emerging international assessments. Through national committee meetings and participation in national professional society meetings and international meetings, DIVERSITAS will be a liaison, bringing together the disparate elements of the broad U.S. community of academics, government scientists, NGOs and policy makers concerned with issues related to biodiversity and ecosystem services, and linking them with their counterparts around the world through the DIVERSITAS networks. Funds will provide support for the National Committee, organizational support for DIVERSITAS, and travel to national and international meetings.

该奖项为美国国家科学院提供支持，以履行其作为美国生物多样性科学国际计划DIVERSITAS的遵守机构的职责。国家研究理事会的国际组织委员会通过美国多样化国家委员会履行这些职责。USNC的总体目标是为两个DIVERSITAS目标做出建设性贡献：1）了解生物多样性及其重要性，2）以可持续的方式管理生物多样性和生态系统服务。DIVERSITAS将建立一个由学者、政府科学家、非政府组织和政策制定者组成的美国国家委员会，以促进与生物多样性和生态系统服务问题以及新兴国际评估有关的科学政策接口。 通过国家委员会会议和参加国家专业学会会议和国际会议，DIVERSITAS将成为一个联络机构，将美国广大学术界、政府科学家、非政府组织和决策者中与生物多样性和生态系统服务相关问题有关的不同成员聚集在一起，并通过DIVERSITAS网络将他们与世界各地的同行联系起来。资金将用于支持国家委员会，为DIVERSITAS提供组织支持，以及参加国家和国际会议的旅费。
