Collaborative Research: International Human Dimensions of Global Change Programme (IHDP) Research Activities

对世界环境变化的担忧促使来自许多不同国家的科学家在广泛的研究和培训活动上进行合作。其中许多活动由以下三个主要国际组织中的一个或多个协调：世界气候研究计划(WCRP)，由世界气象组织监督；国际地圈-生物圈方案(IGBP)，由国际科学联合会理事会(ICSU)监督；以及国际全球环境变化人因方案(IHDP)，由国际科学联合会理事会(ICSU)与国际社会科学理事会(ISSC)合作监督。IHDP活动的行政协调由IHDP秘书处负责，该秘书处由德国教育、科学、研究和技术部(BMBF)提供一笔大笔赠款，在波恩大学发挥作用。该奖项是三个协作奖之一，这些奖项为三套行政活动提供支持，以推动国际水文计划项目：(1)支持国际水文计划秘书处的核心预算，使其能够加强和扩大新的科学活动的参与，在发展中国家和转型经济体建立全球变化(HDGC)基础设施的人的层面，并让更多来自发展中国家和转型经济体的研究人员参与国际水文计划活动；(2)支持印第安纳大学土地利用和土地覆盖变化项目办公室重点1办公室的工作，使其能够促进和支持与土地利用动态比较案例研究分析有关的研究和联网活动；(3)支持达特茅斯学院全球环境变化国际层面项目的国际项目办公室的工作。通过这些活动，促进了对涉及全球人与环境相互作用的重要主题的跨学科合作研究，也促进了来自许多国家的科学家的参与，特别是那些本来缺乏资源从事这些广泛努力的发展中国家的科学家。对IHDP秘书处活动的核心支持是由NSF代表参与美国全球变化研究计划(USGCRP)的机构提供的，而对发展中国家科学家的参与以及对Focus 1办公室和IDGCE-IPO的支持则由NSF的社会、行为和经济科学局提供。

Concerns about changes in the world's environment have led scientists from many different nations to collaborate on a broad range of research and training activities. Many of these activities are coordinated by one or more of three major international organizations: the World Climate Research Program (WCRP), which is overseen by the World Meteorological Organization; the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP), which is overseen by the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU); and the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP), which is overseen by the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) with cooperation from the International Social Science Council (ISSC). Administrative coordination of IHDP activities is undertaken by the IHDP Secretariat, which functions at the University of Bonn under a major grant from the German Ministry for Education, Science, Research and Technology (BMBF). This award is one of three collaborative awards that provide support for three sets of administrative activities to further IHDP programs: (1) support for the IHDP Secretariat's core budget to enable it to enhance and expand the involvement of new scientific activities, to build human dimensions of global change (HDGC) infrastructure in developing nations and transition economies, and to involve more researchers from developing nations and transition economies in IHDP activities; (2) support for the work of the Focus 1 office of the Land-Use and Land-Cover Change (LUCC) Project office at Indiana University, to enable it to promote and support research and networking activities associated with the Land-Use Dynamics comparative case-study analyses; and (3) support for the work of the International Project Office (IPO) of the International Dimensions of Global Environmental Change project at Dartmouth College. Through these activities, collaborative, interdisciplinary research on important topics dealing with human-environmental interaction around the globe are facilitated, as is the involvement of the scientists from many nations, especially those from developing nations who otherwise lack the resources to engage in these broad-ranging efforts. Core support for IHDP Secretariat activities is provided by NSF on behalf of the agencies participating in the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP), while additional support for the involvement of scientists from developing nations as well as support for the Focus 1 Office and the IDGCE-IPO is provided by the NSF Directorate for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences.
