This award provides support to U.S. researchers participating in a project competitively selected by a 14-country initiative on global change research through the Belmont Forum. The Belmont Forum is a high level group of the world?s major and emerging funders of global environmental change research and international science councils. It aims to accelerate delivery of the international environmental research most urgently needed to remove critical barriers to sustainability by aligning and mobilizing international resources. Each partner country provides funding for their researchers within a consortium to alleviate the need for funds to cross international borders. This approach facilitates effective leveraging of national resources to support excellent research on topics of global relevance best tackled through a multinational approach, recognizing that global challenges need global solutions.Working together in this Collaborative Research Action, the partner agencies have provided support for research projects that utilize existing Arctic observing systems, datasets and models to evaluate key sustainability challenges and opportunities in the Arctic region, to innovate new sustainability science theory and approaches to these challenges and opportunities, and support decision-making towards a sustainable Arctic environment. This award provides support for the U.S. researchers to cooperate in consortia that consist of partners from at least three of the participating countries and that bring together natural scientists, social scientists and end users (e.g., policy makers, regulators, NGOs, communities and industry). The efforts of the Bioeconomic Analysis for Arctic Marine Resource Governance and Policy (BAAMRGP) collaborative research team will address the need for integrated, cross-sectoral ecosystem-based ocean management in the Arctic through the valuation and optimization of Arctic marine resources across multiple levels of governance. The approach will consider not only fisheries and subsistence species, but species with indirect or non-use implications, overall biodiversity and productivity, as well as the relationship between the marine ecosystem and humans, including health, commerce, and management. The researchers from the US, Iceland, Russia, Greenland, Canada, Denmark, Norway, and New Zealand will leverage existing data sets and expertise in game theory, bioeconomic valuation and modeling, and fisheries assessment to develop game models in cooperation with a variety of stakeholders, including indigenous peoples of the north. The effort will also consider different scenarios introduced by amendments to existing conventions under the Polar Code. A PhD student will receive training in interdisciplinary science and gain international research experience during the course of this project.

该奖项为参与由贝尔蒙特论坛（Belmont Forum）发起的全球变化研究14国倡议竞争性选拔项目的美国研究人员提供支持。贝尔蒙特论坛是一个世界性的高层组织。全球环境变化研究和国际科学理事会的主要和新兴资助者。它的目的是通过协调和调动国际资源，加速进行最迫切需要的国际环境研究，以消除可持续发展的关键障碍。每个伙伴国在一个联盟中为它们的研究人员提供资金，以减轻对跨越国际边界的资金的需求。这种方法有助于有效利用国家资源，支持对全球相关主题的优秀研究，最好通过多国方法解决，同时认识到全球挑战需要全球解决方案。在这一合作研究行动中，合作机构为利用现有北极观测系统、数据集和模型评估北极地区关键的可持续性挑战和机遇的研究项目提供了支持，为应对这些挑战和机遇创新新的可持续性科学理论和方法，并为实现可持续北极环境的决策提供支持。该奖项将支持美国研究人员在至少三个参与国的合作伙伴组成的联盟中进行合作，并将自然科学家、社会科学家和最终用户（如政策制定者、监管机构、非政府组织、社区和行业）聚集在一起。北极海洋资源治理和政策生物经济分析（BAAMRGP）合作研究团队的努力将通过对北极海洋资源的多层次治理评估和优化，解决北极综合、跨部门、基于生态系统的海洋管理需求。该方法不仅将考虑渔业和维持生计的物种，而且还将考虑具有间接或非利用影响的物种、总体生物多样性和生产力，以及海洋生态系统与人类之间的关系，包括健康、商业和管理。来自美国、冰岛、俄罗斯、格陵兰、加拿大、丹麦、挪威和新西兰的研究人员将利用现有的数据集和博弈论、生物经济评估和建模以及渔业评估方面的专业知识，与包括北方土著人民在内的各种利益相关者合作开发博弈模型。这项工作还将考虑根据《极地规则》修订现有公约所带来的不同情况。博士生将在此项目中接受跨学科的科学训练，并获得国际研究经验。
