This award provides support for international collaboration in global change research in the Asia Pacific region for FY14. The Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN) was formed in 1996 as a result of President Bush?s Rose Garden speech calling for international cooperation in global change challenges. The APN seeks to make its research results available to help the development of science-based strategies and decision-making processes, as well as the development of scientific capacity to address these important issues. This award will support multidisciplinary research that focuses on key issues of global environmental challenges in the Asia Pacific region. The results are expected to provide a strong scientific basis for decision-making at many levels. The United States, as member country of the APN, is considered a crucial partner in this process providing not only financial support but also scientific leadership that permits the region to scientifically develop and cope with the impacts of global change. Promoting US leadership and involvement in environmental change research in the Asia Pacific region and ensuring US participation in these activities positively impacts the not only the US science communities, but also the science communities in other countries. The challenges of global environmental change are inherently international and the Asia-Pacific region not only has a great deal of research to contribute to global change phenomena but is also one of the most vulnerable regions to the impacts of global change. The outputs from this proposal will enhance the capacity of developing country researchers to conduct global change research at regional and sub-regional levels; and continued growth of a network of young and leading intellectual researchers in the AP region through international cooperative activities with leading US and other countries in the Asia Pacific region.

该奖项为2014财年亚太地区全球变化研究的国际合作提供支持。 亚太全球变化研究网络（APN）成立于1996年，是布什总统？她在玫瑰园的演讲中呼吁国际合作应对全球变化的挑战。APN寻求提供其研究成果，以帮助制定基于科学的战略和决策过程，以及发展解决这些重要问题的科学能力。 该奖项将支持多学科研究，重点关注亚太地区全球环境挑战的关键问题。 预计这些结果将为许多级别的决策提供强有力的科学依据。美国作为亚太区域网络的成员国，被认为是这一进程中的重要伙伴，不仅提供财政支持，而且提供科学领导，使该区域能够科学发展和科普全球变化的影响。促进美国在亚太地区环境变化研究中的领导地位和参与，并确保美国参与这些活动，不仅对美国科学界，而且对其他国家的科学界产生积极影响。 全球环境变化的挑战从本质上讲是国际性的，亚太区域不仅开展了大量研究，以促进全球变化现象，而且也是最容易受到全球变化影响的区域之一。该建议的成果将提高发展中国家研究人员在区域和次区域层面开展全球变化研究的能力;通过与美国和亚太地区其他主要国家开展国际合作活动，继续发展亚太地区青年和领先知识分子研究人员网络。
