This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).The proposed Research Coordination Network will utilize four existing agriculture research networks to create a ‘network of networks’ that will use existing data and resources to begin to address some of these large-scale, big-picture knowledge gaps in agricultural sciences. It will build a robust transdisciplinary and collaborative community that will act as a hub for conducting long-term, multi-scale research focused on resilient agricultural systems; drive theoretical and data science advances; and develop practical applications to understand, reduce, and mitigate the vulnerability of agricultural systems to collapse within and across multiple scales. These advances will contribute directly to food security and sustainable natural resources. This project will be of interest to decision makers, researchers, farmers and the general public.This proposal details the creation of a Research Coordination Network (RCN) that brings together 4 networks to enable sharing and integration of data, expertise, and knowledge; develop a collaborative community; strengthen existing and foster new synergies; and incorporate a diversity of perspectives and knowledge less likely to be realized in one institution or isolated network. The proposed network is uniquely positioned to advance knowledge about the resilience of integrated agricultural systems beyond the plant/plot/field/farm scale and will address the coupled human and environmental components. It is novel in its creation of a network of networks that will leverage the diverse domains of expertise, and scales of inference, of each network. The project will also take advantage of existing data collection programs by multiple U.S. agencies (e.g., NEON, ClimateHub), and provide the opportunity for the novel application of those data sets to research questions that will be significantly broader than the institutional mandate of each individual network. The proposed network will provide an empirical basis for goals of food security in an increasingly uncertain and non-stationary time for human societies. The project will directly impact researchers, students, scientists, technicians, farmers, stakeholders and partners across the extensive and diverse membership of the 4 networks and the Advisory Board. The proposed network will mentor, train, and challenge students in diverse and innovative research and connect them with scientists and communities across the network to promote professional and personal growth. Findings and results will be broadly disseminated through the four networks and beyond.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.

该奖项全部或部分由2021年美国救援计划法案（公法117-2）资助。拟议的研究协调网络将利用四个现有的农业研究网络创建一个“网络网络”，该网络将利用现有的数据和资源开始解决农业科学中的一些大规模，大画面知识差距。 它将建立一个强大的跨学科和协作社区，作为开展长期，多规模研究的中心，重点关注弹性农业系统;推动理论和数据科学的进步;并开发实际应用，以了解，减少和减轻农业系统在多个尺度内和跨多个尺度崩溃的脆弱性。 这些进展将直接促进粮食安全和可持续的自然资源。这一项目将引起决策者、研究人员、农民和公众的兴趣，该提案详细介绍了建立一个研究协调网络的情况，该网络将4个网络汇集在一起，以实现数据、专门知识和知识的共享和整合;发展一个协作社区;加强现有的协同作用并促进新的协同作用;并将不太可能在一个机构或孤立的网络中实现的观点和知识的多样性结合起来。拟议的网络具有独特的地位，可以推动对综合农业系统的复原力的了解，超越植物/地块/田地/农场的规模，并将解决人类和环境因素的耦合问题。它创造了一个网络的网络，将利用每个网络的不同专业领域和推理规模。该项目还将利用美国多个机构（例如，氖，ClimateHub），并为这些数据集的新应用提供了机会，以研究比每个单独网络的机构任务要广泛得多的问题。 该网络将为人类社会在一个日益不确定和不稳定的时期实现粮食安全目标提供经验基础。该项目将直接影响研究人员、学生、科学家、技术人员、农民、利益攸关方和4个网络和咨询委员会广泛而多样的成员。拟议的网络将指导，培训和挑战学生进行多样化和创新的研究，并将他们与整个网络的科学家和社区联系起来，以促进专业和个人成长。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
