CEAS: Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis

[00-72909] reichmannceas：国家生态分析与综合中心国家生态分析与综合中心（NCEAS）的建立是为了促进科学家之间的互动，并促进利用现有信息来解决重要的生态问题。该中心支持多种类型的活动，包括工作组（20名或更少的科学家每年多次举行几天会议）、中心研究员（休假访问者）、博士后助理、研究生和本科生。NCEAS的愿景是促进一种新的综合文化。NCEAS的合作模式特别成功：1)跨学科综合，将以前没有合作过的人聚集在一起，专注于新的问题和方法；2)密集、持续的调查，在生态学的核心领域取得进展。该奖项将支持NCEAS的额外六年运作，使其能够通过培养新一代生态学家来服务生态社区，这些生态学家将跨学科互动，深入分析或建模，信息管理技术和文化与他们固有的求知心和承诺结合起来，产生重要的学术研究。

00-72909ReichmanNCEAS: National Center for Ecological Analysis and SynthesisThe National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) was established to promote interactions between scientists and facilitate the use of existing information to address important ecological questions. The center supports several types of activities involving Working Groups (20 or fewer scientists meeting for several days, multiple times a year), Center Fellows (sabbatical visitors), Postdoctoral Associates, and graduate and undergraduate students. The vision for NCEAS has been to catalyze a new culture of synthesis. The NCEAS model for collaboration has been particularly successful with 1) interdisciplinary syntheses that bring together people who have not collaborated before to focus on novel questions and approaches and 2) intensive, sustained investigations to make progress in core areas of ecology. This award will support NCEAS operations for an additional six years, enabling it to serve the ecological community by cultivating a new generation of ecologists who merge interdisciplinary interactions, intensive analysis or modeling, and the technology and culture of information management with their inherent intellectual curiosity and commitment to yield important, scholarly research.
