This award provides support to U.S. researchers participating in a project competitively selected by a 55-country initiative on global change research through the Belmont Forum. The Belmont Forum is a consortium of research funding organizations focused on support for transdisciplinary approaches to global environmental change challenges and opportunities. It aims to accelerate delivery of the international 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 to foster global transdisciplinary research teams to address critical issues in ocean sustainability including, conservation and sustainable use of the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development. This complex challenge required that the projects utilized integrated, transdisciplinary and cross-sectoral approaches and bring together natural and social sciences as well as policymakers, resource managers, industries, citizens and other societal partners. 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 to increase our knowledge of the complex linkages and pathways needed to accelerate sustainable use of oceans and minimize the effects from global change. This project seeks to develop an innovative stakeholder-driven tool that monitors, forecasts, and reports the effectiveness of management decisions on coastal and ocean sustainability. The tool will enable decision makers to formulate and evaluate strategies designed to improve environmental resources at a global scale. The project will enable forecasting the effectiveness of future management regimes on coastal ecological, economic and social aspects. The process of co-developing a COAST Card brings together different groups including social sciences/humanities/economy, natural sciences/technology, and societal partners to work together to co-produce new knowledge that can serve as the foundation these challenging issues.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项为参与一个由55个国家发起的全球变化研究计划通过贝尔蒙特论坛竞争性选定的项目的美国研究人员提供支持。贝尔蒙特论坛是一个研究资助组织联盟，专注于支持以跨学科方法应对全球环境变化的挑战和机遇。它的目的是通过协调和调动国际资源，加速开展最迫切需要的国际研究，以消除对可持续性的关键障碍。每个伙伴国都在一个联合体内为其研究人员提供资金，以减轻跨越国际边界的资金需求。这一办法有助于有效利用国家资源，支持对具有全球相关性的专题进行出色的研究，最好是通过多国办法加以解决，同时认识到全球挑战需要全球解决办法。在这项合作研究行动中，伙伴机构提供了支持，以培养全球跨学科研究团队，以解决海洋可持续性方面的关键问题，包括海洋和海洋资源的养护和可持续利用，以促进可持续发展。这一复杂的挑战要求这些项目采用综合、跨学科和跨部门的方法，并将自然科学和社会科学以及政策制定者、资源管理者、行业、公民和其他社会合作伙伴聚集在一起。该奖项支持美国研究人员在由至少三个参与国的合作伙伴组成的财团中开展合作，以增加我们对加快海洋可持续利用和将全球变化的影响降至最低所需的复杂联系和途径的了解。该项目旨在开发一个由利益攸关方驱动的创新工具，监测、预测和报告关于沿海和海洋可持续性的管理决策的有效性。该工具将使决策者能够制定和评估旨在全球范围内改善环境资源的战略。该项目将能够预测未来管理制度在沿海生态、经济和社会方面的效力。共同开发海岸卡的过程将包括社会科学/人文/经济、自然科学/技术和社会合作伙伴在内的不同群体聚集在一起，共同创造新的知识，作为这些具有挑战性的问题的基础。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
