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. 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. The teams will establish transdisciplinary networks to develop innovative solutions for sustainable development pathways and seek to assess the positive and negative inter-linkages between the economy, technology, institutions with the environment, climate, biodiversity, and human well-being to understand potential pathways to a sustainable world.The project aims to develop and build a platform to help understand and predict the transmission dynamics of important zoonotic diseases at the interface of ecology, wildlife and humans. The platform will integrate various tiers of databases and analytical approaches developed by diverse research studies to a single platform, allowing better accessibility to different regions of the world to help monitor and control disease outbreaks. Eco2Health will specifically target avian influenza virus transmission in their platform development and will integrate several analytical tools from existing databases, including the following: a database generated by citizen scientist such as eBird or breeding bird survey with self-developed statistical package; a viral sequence from GenBank database or self-generated from local isolates; and local meteorological parameters and regional climate phenomenon database including El Nino-Southern Oscillation and Indian Ocean Dipole. Eco2Health will also generate an early warning system and risk map by combining different statistical/mathematical and machine-learning based approaches to better understand and predict transmission dynamics of avian influenza viruses over time and space.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.

该奖项为参与由55个国家通过贝尔蒙特论坛发起的全球变化研究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的联盟，致力于支持跨学科方法来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，加速提供最迫切需要的国际研究，以消除可持续发展的关键障碍。每个伙伴国在一个联盟中为它们的研究人员提供资金，以减轻对跨越国际边界的资金的需求。这种方法有助于有效利用国家资源，支持对全球相关主题的优秀研究，最好通过多国方法解决，同时认识到全球挑战需要全球解决方案。该奖项为美国研究人员在至少三个参与国的合作伙伴组成的联盟中进行合作提供支持。这些小组将建立跨学科网络，为可持续发展途径制定创新的解决办法，并设法评估经济、技术、机构与环境、气候、生物多样性和人类福祉之间的积极和消极相互联系，以了解通往可持续世界的潜在途径。该项目旨在开发和建立一个平台，帮助了解和预测生态、野生动物和人类界面上重要人畜共患疾病的传播动态。该平台将把不同层次的数据库和各种研究开发的分析方法整合到一个平台上，使世界不同地区能够更好地利用这些数据，以帮助监测和控制疾病暴发。Eco2Health将在其平台开发中专门针对禽流感病毒传播，并将整合来自现有数据库的若干分析工具，包括以下内容：由公民科学家（如eBird）生成的数据库或带有自行开发统计软件包的种鸟调查；来自GenBank数据库的病毒序列或来自当地分离株的病毒序列；包括厄尔尼诺-南方涛动和印度洋偶极子在内的局地气象参数和区域气候现象数据库。Eco2Health还将结合不同的统计/数学和基于机器学习的方法，生成预警系统和风险图，以便更好地了解和预测禽流感病毒随时间和空间的传播动态。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。
