The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) was developed to understand biological phenomena at regional to continental scales. The Macrosystems Biology & NEON-Enabled Science program places a high priorty on scaling and integrating the results from observations at one scale to understand processes and dynamics better at other scales. The Great Lakes User Group (GLUG) is a domain-specific ensemble of researchers with a wide range of expertise, whose goal is to address scientific and technical issues specific to the Great Lakes region. This award provides support for a GLUG workshop to engage as many stakeholders as possible in identifying what ecological research and data collection is ongoing within the Great Lakes Domain and how this knowledge and expertise can be leveraged to advance scientific knowledge and address environmental challenges at regional to continental scales. The benefits to society include the application of this expertise to conservation and restoration in the Great Lakes and beyond. Promotion of learning and societal understanding of science will be achieved by the inclusion of members of underrepresented groups in science, including graduate students.GLUG will facilitate regionally focused, nationally relevant collaborative research, and create a mechanism for communication among regional stakeholders and NEON scientific staff. A workshop-based approach, consisting of short presentations, a keynote address, breakout brainstorming sessions and site visits will be adopted to create a network of researchers, facilitate exchange of research knowledge, integrate data from a range of ecologically focused disciplines, establish a framework to facilitate other user groups to organize and develop a roadmap for a collaborative project proposal. The outcome of these activities will strengthen existing collaborations and foster new ones, together with raising greater awareness and promoting use of NEON observations.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.

建立了国家生态观测网(NEON)，以了解区域和大陆尺度上的生物现象。大系统生物学和霓虹灯启动的科学计划高度重视在一个尺度上对观测结果进行缩放和整合，以便在其他尺度上更好地理解过程和动力学。五大湖用户小组(GLIG)是一个具有广泛专业知识的特定领域的研究人员群体，其目标是解决大湖区特有的科学和技术问题。该奖项为GLG研讨会提供支持，以使尽可能多的利益攸关方参与确定大湖区正在进行的生态研究和数据收集，以及如何利用这些知识和专门知识在区域至大陆范围内促进科学知识和应对环境挑战。对社会的好处包括将这一专门知识应用于五大湖及其他地区的保护和恢复。促进学习和社会对科学的理解将通过吸纳包括研究生在内的代表性不足的群体的成员进入科学领域来实现。GLUG将促进以区域为重点、与国家相关的合作研究，并为区域利益攸关方和霓虹灯科学工作人员之间的交流建立机制。将采用以研讨会为基础的方法，包括简短的演讲、主旨演讲、分组讨论和现场访问，以建立一个研究人员网络，促进研究知识的交流，整合一系列以生态学为重点的学科的数据，建立一个框架，以便利其他用户群体组织和制定协作项目提案的路线图。这些活动的结果将加强现有的合作并促进新的合作，以及提高对霓虹灯观测的认识和促进使用。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
