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 of natural (including climate), health and social scientists and stakeholders from across the globe to improve understanding of climate, environment and health pathways to protect and promote health. The projects will provide crucial new understanding into the health implications arising from the impacts of climate change and variability on; 1) the quality/quantity of food, 2) chronic exposure to increases/changes in heat and humidity and 3) changes in the distribution and incidence of a range of infectious diseases and emergence of novel pathogens. 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 between the climate, environment and health to help solve complex challenges that face societies. This project seeks to develop a multidisciplinary approach to help improve how formal and informal health systems address changes to heat stress, infectious disease, and food systems. The project will work with citizen science and non-profit groups based in the Alaska and Trinidad and Tobago (Caribbean) to provide a contrast of locations with similar challenges. While the project will develop an assessment technique to help community organizations address climate change health risks, it will also develop techniques to overcome collective action problems, which often prove as a barrier for community action toward these challenges. The project will identify a set of indicators and techniques for assessing the potential to overcome collective action problems that will be coupled with assessment tools that can be used to advance climate change related research. The project will also provide additional knowledge on how to better integrate often siloed knowledge on environmental change, health, and risk management— especially as applied to heat stress, infectious disease, and food systems.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.

该奖项通过贝尔蒙特论坛，为参与由55个国家的全球变化研究倡议竞争性选择的项目的美国研究人员提供支持。 贝尔蒙特论坛是一个由研究供资组织组成的联合会，其重点是支持对全球环境变化挑战和机遇采取跨学科办法。 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研究，以消除可持续性的关键障碍。每个伙伴国家都在一个财团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。这一方法有助于有效利用国家资源，支持对全球相关课题的优秀研究，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。在这一合作研究行动中，伙伴机构共同努力，为培养全球自然科学跨学科研究团队提供支持。来自地球仪各地的科学家（包括气候科学家）、卫生和社会科学家以及利益攸关方，以增进对气候、环境和卫生途径的了解，保护和促进健康。这些项目将为气候变化和变异性对健康的影响提供重要的新认识：1）食物的质量/数量，2）长期暴露于热量和湿度的增加/变化，3）一系列传染病的分布和发病率的变化以及新病原体的出现。该奖项支持美国研究人员与来自至少三个参与国的合作伙伴组成的财团合作，以增加我们对气候，环境和健康之间复杂联系和途径的了解，以帮助解决社会面临的复杂挑战。 该项目旨在开发一种多学科方法，以帮助改善正式和非正式卫生系统如何应对热应激，传染病和食品系统的变化。 该项目将与阿拉斯加和特立尼达和托巴哥（加勒比）的公民科学和非营利团体合作，提供具有类似挑战的地点的对比。 虽然该项目将开发一种评估技术，以帮助社区组织应对气候变化健康风险，但它也将开发克服集体行动问题的技术，这些问题往往成为社区应对这些挑战的障碍。该项目将确定一套指标和技术，用于评估克服集体行动问题的潜力，并辅之以可用于推进气候变化相关研究的评估工具。该项目还将提供关于如何更好地整合环境变化，健康和风险管理方面的知识的额外知识-特别是应用于热应激，传染病和食品系统。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
