Workshop on Research on the Human Dimensions of Global Change; Washington; June 1994

小行星9415829 美国全球变化研究计划的成熟 (US/GCRP）更加重视对人类的研究， 全球变化的各个方面，包括政策科学。 的 US/GCRP也在寻求开发更有效的方法， 进行综合评估，审查 物理、生物和人类系统的时序， 这些系统和政策选择之间的相互作用， 适应或减缓全球变化。 像NSF这样的机构， 共同管理美国/GCRP传统上一直期待 美国国家科学院和 国家研究理事会提供指导和反馈 关于计划的规划和实施。 作为人 尺寸研究达到关键的新阶段，NRC 全球变化中人的方面问题委员会将举行一次 为期两天的讲习班，审查两个密切相关的问题： (1)研究需要跨越人类层面的广度， 全球变化和具体领域，如政策科学 综合评估的优势和方法;以及（2） 各种研究支持模式的弱点（包括 支持个体研究者支持中心）， 包括考虑到不同的 modes. 这个为期两天的讲习班将于1994年6月在 华盛顿，大约有24位顶尖的社会科学家 聚集在一起分享他们的经验和意见， 这些问题 将提出书面意见摘要 在讲习班结束后几个月内提供 为了使其他人能够受益于 工作坊 通过这次研讨会，人类层面的领导者和其他 NSF和其他US/GCRP机构的全球变化计划将 有机会直接听取领先的研究 科学家 研讨会上的讨论还将提供 美国国家科学基金会官员提供有价值的信息，因为它制定计划， 研究资助的可能新模式，以促进 全球变化中人的因素

9415829 STERN The maturation of the U.S. Global Change Research Program (US/GCRP) has placed greater emphasis on research on the human dimensions of global change, including the policy sciences. The US/GCRP also is looking to develop more effective methods for conducting integrated assessments that examine the nature and timing of physical, biological, and human systems as well as interactions among those sets of systems and policy options for adapting to or mitigating global change. Agencies like NSF that collectively manage the US/GCRP traditionally have looked to the National Academy of Sciences and the component parts of the National Research Council to provide guidance and feedback regarding planning and conduct of the program. As human dimensions research reaches critical new stages, the NRC Committee on the Human Dimensions of Global Change will conduct a two-day workshop to examine two closely related issues: (1) research needs across the breadth of the human dimensions of global change and in specific areas, such as the policy sciences and methods for integrated assessments; and (2) strengths and weaknesses of various modes of research support (ranging from support for individual investigators to support for centers), including consideration of the relative balance among different modes. This two-day workshop will take place in June 1994 in Washington, with roughly two dozen leading social scientists gathering to share their experiences and opinions with respect to these issues. A written summary of comments will be made available within a few months of the conclusion of the workshop in order to allow others to benefit from the ideas presented at the workshop. Through this workshop, leaders of human dimensions and other global change programs in NSF and other US/GCRP agencies will have to opportunity to hear directly from leading research scientists. The discussions at the workshop also will provide NSF officials with valuable information as it develops plans for possible new modes of research support to facilitate research on the human dimensions of global change.
