Collaborative Research: Core Support for Future Earth Capacity and Engagement in International Global Change Research

该项目支持未来地球为从事全球变化研究的美国科学家提供能力建设和参与活动。未来的地球利用全球科学界的见解和能力来解决全球问题，并确保这项工作的成果超越学术界，影响更广泛的决策过程。未来的地球工作是基于这样一种认识，即现代可持续发展的挑战需要协调的研究工作，汇集世界上最好的研究人员在自然，社会，行为和工程科学，并连接这些研究人员的需求和能力嵌入在广泛的利益相关者机构和社区。Future Earth的全球计划包括一个旗舰能力建设项目（地球领导力项目）、影响深远的传播产品（人类世杂志）和强大的协作数据平台。通过提升科学成果的传播和影响力，并将这些成果与商业、政府和民间社会的支持者联系起来，Future Earth的工作支持了世界各地更好的决策。这项工作还将美国研究人员与全球变化研究领域广泛且快速增长的国际领先学者网络联系起来，并提供直接获取新知识和倡议的机会。这项工作的大部分是通过战略传播来支持的，这些传播扩大了世界各地出版的可持续发展科学的影响范围，并以正确的格式在正确的时间提供最好的全球科学，以塑造全球成果。该项目将包括出版屡获殊荣的《人类世》杂志，该杂志不断将最好的可持续发展科学带给世界各地尽可能广泛的受众，并建立可持续发展研究和创新大会-这是第一个支持全球可持续发展科学和创新社区之间全球联系的全球会议。最后，未来地球将继续领导地球领导计划，该计划建立在利奥波德领导计划20年成功的基础上，并侧重于培训不同的高影响力的中，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进行评估，更广泛的影响审查标准。

This project supports Future Earth to provide capacity building and engagement activities for US scientists working in global change research. Future Earth harnesses the insights and capacity of the global scientific community to address global problems and ensures that the results of this work extend beyond academic communities and impact broader decision processes. Future Earth efforts are based on the recognition that modern sustainability challenges require coordinated research efforts bringing together the world's best researchers in the natural, social, behavioral, and engineering sciences, and connecting these researchers with the needs and capacities embedded within a wide range of stakeholder institutions and communities. Future Earth’s global initiatives, include a flagship capacity building program (Earth Leadership Program), far reaching communications products (Anthropocene Magazine), and strong collaborative data-platforms.By elevating the spread and impact of scientific results and connecting these results with constituencies in business, government, and civil society, Future Earth’s work supports better decision making around the world. This work also connects US researchers with a vast and rapidly growing network of leading international scholars in global change research and provides direct access to new knowledge and initiatives. Much of this work is supported through strategic communications that extends the reach of sustainability science published around the world, and delivers the very best global science in the right format, and at the correct time, to shape global outcomes. This project will include the publication of the award-winning Anthropocene Magazine which consistently brings the very best sustainability science to the broadest possible audience around the world, and the establishment of the Sustainability Research and Innovation Congress - the first global convening supporting global connections between sustainability science and innovation communities around the world on an annual basis. Finally, Future Earth will continue leading the Earth Leadership Program, which builds on the 20 years of success of the Leopold Leadership Program, and focuses on training diverse cohorts of high-impact mid-career scientists to reach beyond their disciplinary expertise to become sustainability science leaders.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.
