Promoting and Enhancing the U.S.-IIASA Network

美国国家科学院（NAS）是代表美国参加国际应用系统分析研究所（IIASA）的国家成员组织，该研究所是一个位于奥地利拉克森堡的国际研究机构。美国国家科学院通过设在国际科学组织理事会（BISO）的IIASA美国委员会履行其成员职责。这些责任有两种形式：通过参加国际asa理事会参与研究所的管理，并与该组织直接互动；促进和鼓励美国对IIASA活动的兴趣。该奖项由BISO和美国IIASA委员会执行，反映了IIASA 2021-2030年战略计划和BISO 2019-2024年战略计划，旨在帮助建立和促进IIASA强大的科学项目，并加强和促进强大的美国-国际IIASA相关网络。IIASA已经并将继续对复杂的全球问题作出重要贡献，通过使用系统分析方法来推进科学和政策并为其提供信息，并涵盖具有社会重要性的主题，如粮食和水安全、生物多样性和可持续性、系统性风险和复原力以及气候变化和人口。IIASA的目标是将其研究用于政策解决方案。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is the National Member Organization representing the United States in the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), an international research institute located in Laxenburg, Austria. The NAS carries out its membership responsibilities through the U.S. Committee for IIASA, housed in the Board on International Scientific Organizations (BISO). 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 goals of this award, to be performed by BISO and the U.S. Committee for IIASA, reflect both the IIASA Strategic Plan, 2021-2030 and the BISO Strategic Plan, 2019-2024, and are to help build and promote strong science programs at IIASA, and to strengthen and promote a strong U.S.-international, IIASA-related network. IIASA has made and continues to make important contributions to complex global issues by using a systems analysis approach to advance and inform both science and policy and covering topics of societal importance such as food and water security, biodiversity and sustainability, systemic risk and resilience, and climate change and population. IIASA’s goal is for its research to be used for policy solutions.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.
