This award provides support to U.S. researchers participating in a project competitively selected by a six-country initiative on global change research through the Belmont Forum. The Belmont Forum is a group of the world?s major and emerging funders of global environmental change research. 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 organization provides funding for researchers from their country 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 a Collaborative Research Action, the six partner organizations have provided support for research projects that utilize a strong inter- and trans-disciplinary approach to examine climate, environmental, and related societal change in mountain regions. This award provides support for the U.S. researchers to cooperate in a consortium of partners from at least three of the participating countries and that brings together natural scientists, social scientists and research users (e.g., policy makers, regulators, NGOs, communities and industry). Ecological Calendars and Climate Adaptation in the Pamirs (ECCAP) unites researchers from the United States, Italy, China, Germany, and the Kyrgyz Republic. The goal of the project is to recalibrate historical and existing ecological calendars from the Pamir Mountains by integrating indigenous knowledge with scientific analyses of climate and phenological data. By doing this, the project will contribute to the capacity of Pamiri communities to anticipate and respond to increasingly inconsistent weather patterns. ECCAP will conduct participatory action research with indigenous communities in the Pamir Mountains, and develop and test new ecological calendars by integrating indigenous ecological knowledge with science. New knowledge will be disseminated through the development of a curriculum for inter-generational transfer and adaptation of calendars, as well as an international conference on the use of ecological calendars for building anticipatory capacity for climate change at local scales.

该奖项为美国研究人员参与一个项目提供支持，该项目是通过贝尔蒙特论坛由六国全球变化研究倡议竞争性选择的。贝尔蒙特论坛是一个世界性的团体吗？全球环境变化研究的主要和新兴资助者。它的目的是通过调整和调动国际资源，加快提供最迫切需要的国际环境研究，以消除可持续性的关键障碍。每个伙伴组织都为本国的研究人员提供资金，以减轻跨越国际边界的资金需求。 这一方法有助于有效地利用国家资源，支持对全球相关主题的优秀研究，最好通过多国方法来解决，认识到全球挑战需要全球解决方案。六个伙伴组织在合作研究行动中共同努力，为利用强有力的跨学科和跨学科方法来研究气候，环境，和相关的社会变革。该奖项为美国研究人员提供支持，使他们能够与来自至少三个参与国的合作伙伴组成联盟，并将自然科学家，社会科学家和研究用户（例如，政策制定者、监管机构、非政府组织、社区和行业）。 帕米尔高原生态日历和气候适应（ECCAP）联合了来自美国，意大利，中国，德国和吉尔吉斯共和国的研究人员。该项目的目标是通过将土著知识与气候和物候数据的科学分析相结合，重新校准帕米尔山脉的历史和现有生态日历。通过这样做，该项目将有助于提高帕米尔社区预测和应对日益不稳定的天气模式的能力。该委员会将与帕米尔山脉的土著社区开展参与性行动研究，并通过将土著生态知识与科学相结合，制定和测试新的生态日历。将通过编制关于日历代际传递和调整的课程，以及举办关于使用生态日历建设地方气候变化预测能力的国际会议，传播新知识。
