This award provides support to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences to carry out its responsibilities as the United States National Member Organization (NMO) of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA). These responsibilities take two forms: participating in governance of the Institute through participation in the IIASA Council and direct interaction with the organization; and facilitating and encouraging U.S. interest in IIASA's activities. The Board on International Organizations (BISO) of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) executes these responsibilities through the U.S. Committee for IIASA. IIASA was established in 1972 as a multilateral, non-governmental research institution devoted to interdisciplinary, policy-oriented research. At IIASA, multidisciplinary, international teams of researchers conduct research into the critical issues of global environmental, economic, technological and social changes that we face in the 21st century. The intellectual merit of the proposal consists of the work by the U.S. NMO, in collaboration with interested U.S. researchers and Government agencies, to formulate U.S. views regarding IIASA's research, budget, and administration. This helps to insure the integrity of the Institute and guides the IIASA research program in ways that will maintain its quality and its relevance to U.S. research and policy concerns. The NMO works to broaden the impact of the Institute and its work by serving as a liaison to the U.S. science, technology, and policy communities, with the goal of increasing participation in and awareness of IIASA by Americans in academia, government, business, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). This includes recruiting for and funding IIASA's Young Scientists Summer Program for advanced graduate students; helping to find suitable candidates for IIASA's job vacancies; serving as the hub of a national network of interested scholars and policymakers; and helping IIASA find opportunities to participate in national policy debates. The chairman of the U.S. Committee represents the U.S. NMO at IIASA's Council meetings. The Council is composed of representatives from the 23 NMO's; each NMO country pays an annual membership contribution. The U.S. Council member works with the Director of IIASA, the IIASA Council Program Committee, and the IIASA Science Advisory Committee to guide and strengthen the IIASA research program. The U.S. national committee carries out an annual review of IIASA's research progress, soliciting comments from academic, government, and other experts in the U.S. scientific community.

该奖项为美国国家科学院履行其作为国际应用系统分析研究所（IIASA）美国国家成员组织（NMO）的职责提供支持。这些职责有两种形式：通过参加 IIASA 理事会以及与该组织的直接互动来参与研究所的治理；促进和鼓励美国对 IIASA 活动的兴趣。美国国家科学院 (NAS) 国际组织委员会 (BISO) 通过 IIASA 美国委员会履行这些职责。 IIASA 成立于 1972 年，是一个致力于跨学科、政策导向研究的多边非政府研究机构。在 IIASA，多学科的国际研究团队对 21 世纪面临的全球环境、经济、技术和社会变化的关键问题进行研究。 该提案的智力价值包括美国国家气象局与感兴趣的美国研究人员和政府机构合作的工作，以制定美国对 IIASA 的研究、预算和管理的看法。这有助于确保研究所的完整性，并以保持其质量及其与美国研究和政策问题的相关性的方式指导 IIASA 研究项目。 NMO 致力于通过充当美国科学、技术和政策界的联络人来扩大该研究所及其工作的影响力，其目标是提高美国人在学术界、政府、企业和非政府组织 (NGO) 中对 IIASA 的参与和认识。这包括招募和资助 IIASA 的高级研究生青年科学家暑期项目；帮助 IIASA 职位空缺寻找合适的候选人；作为感兴趣的学者和政策制定者的全国网络的中心；帮助 IIASA 寻找参与国家政策辩论的机会。美国委员会主席代表美国 NMO 出席 IIASA 理事会会议。理事会由 23 个 NMO 的代表组成；每个 NMO 国家每年缴纳会员费。美国理事会成员与 IIASA 主任、IIASA 理事会计划委员会和 IIASA 科学咨询委员会合作，指导和加强 IIASA 研究计划。美国国家委员会对IIASA的研究进展进行年度审查，征求学术界、政府和美国科学界其他专家的意见。
