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美国中心提供支持。中心主任和相关工作人员对美国中心的运营负有主要责任，并将负责建立美国研究人员和利益相关者的网络，以参与未来地球。中心主任将作为一个六人国际执行团队的一部分，该团队将监督国际未来地球组织的运作。在全球环境变化方面，“未来地球”是有史以来最雄心勃勃、影响最深远的计划。未来地球计划由一个由资助者、国家机构、杰出科学家和利益相关者组成的国际联盟管理。它得到了美国主要机构的大力支持，在美国全球变化研究计划的跨学科主持下。2014年5月，代表加拿大、法国、日本、瑞典和美国的一个全球财团被选为主办新的未来地球秘书处的首选竞标者。这种全球分布式的未来地球计划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，但在其他全球分布式的公司结构中很常见。通过这种新方法，每个国家都将主办一个全球中心，并将以协调一致的方式推进未来地球计划。美国全球中心将设在科罗拉多州的科罗拉多大学博尔德分校和科罗拉多州立大学。虽然总部设在科罗拉多州的Front Range，但全球中心将与全国各地的附属机构紧密联系在一起。这笔资金将用于支持Hub主任和美国Hub团队的工作，该团队将为实施未来地球新议程的一系列活动提供支持，但最初将领导或共同领导研究支持和全球能力建设的发展。这两个职能部门的领导地位反映了美国在GEC研究和国际发展方面的实力。
