This award provides support for the US Hub of the Future Earth Secretariat. The Director of the hub and associated staff have the primary responsibility for the operation of the U.S. hub and will be responsible for building networks of researchers and stakeholders in the U.S. to engage with Future Earth. The hub director will serve as part of a six person international executive team that will have oversight over the operations of the international Future Earth organization. Future Earth is the most ambitious and far-reaching program in global environmental change ever envisioned. The Future Earth program is governed by an international alliance of funders, national agencies and prominent scientists and stakeholders. It is strongly supported by major U.S. agencies, under the interdisciplinary auspices of the U.S. Global Change Research Program. In May 2014, a global consortium representing the nations of Canada, France, Japan, Sweden and the United States was selected as the preferred bidder to host the new Future Earth Secretariat. This globally distributed approach to governance of the Future Earth program is an ambitious and unique approach that has never been tried before in International science coordination but which is common in other globally distributed corporate structures. Through this new approach, each nation will host a Global Hub and will work in a coordinated way to advance the Future Earth Programme. The U.S. Global Hub will be hosted in Colorado at the University of Colorado Boulder and Colorado State University. Although headquartered in the Front Range of Colorado, the Global Hub will be closely tied to affiliate organizations across the nation. The funding provided in this grant will be used to support the work of the Hub Director and the US Hub team, which will provide support for a range of activities to implement the emerging agenda of Future Earth but will initially lead the or co-lead the development of research enabling and global capacity building. The leadership of these two functions reflect the US strength in both GEC research and international development.

该奖项为未来地球秘书处的美国枢纽提供了支持。 枢纽及相关人员负责美国枢纽运营的主要责任，并将负责建立美国研究人员和利益相关者的网络与未来的地球互动。枢纽主管将成为六人国际执行团队的一部分，该团队将对国际未来地球组织的运营进行监督。未来地球是有史以来全球环境变革中最雄心勃勃，最深远的计划。未来的地球计划受资助者，国家机构以及著名科学家和利益相关者的国际联盟管辖。在美国全球变更研究计划的跨学科主持下，美国主要机构的强烈支持。 2014年5月，一个代表加拿大，法国，日本，瑞典和美国国家的全球财团被选为主持新的未来地球秘书处的首选竞标者。这种全球分配的对未来地球计划的治理方法是一种雄心勃勃的独特方法，在国际科学协调中从未尝试过，但在其他全球分布的公司结构中很常见。通过这种新方法，每个国家将举办一个全球枢纽，并以协调的方式工作以推进未来的地球计划。美国全球枢纽将在科罗拉多大学博尔德大学和科罗拉多州立大学举办。尽管总部位于科罗拉多州的前范围内，但全球枢纽将与全国各地的会员组织紧密相关。本赠款中提供的资金将用于支持枢纽主管和美国枢纽团队的工作，该团队将为实施未来地球的新兴议程提供支持，但最初将领导或共同领导研究支持和全球能力建设的开发。 这两个功能的领导反映了美国在GEC研究和国际发展方面的实力。
