Promoting and Enhancing the U.S.-IIASA Network

国家科学院(NAS)是代表美国参加国际应用系统分析研究所(IIASA)的国家成员组织，IIASA是一个设在奥地利拉克森堡的国际研究所。NAS通过设在国际科学组织理事会(BISO)的IIASA美国委员会履行其成员职责。这些责任有两种形式：通过参与IIASA理事会和与该组织的直接互动参与研究所的管理；促进和鼓励美国对IIASA的活动感兴趣。该奖项将由BISO和美国IIASA委员会执行，反映了IIASA 2021-2030年战略计划和2019-2024年BISO战略计划，旨在帮助建立和促进IIASA强大的科学项目，并加强和促进与美国相关的强大的国际网络。国际生物多样性研究所已经并将继续对复杂的全球问题作出重要贡献，采用系统分析方法推动科学和政策并为其提供信息，涵盖粮食和水安全、生物多样性和可持续性、系统风险和复原力以及气候变化和人口等具有社会意义的主题。IIASA的目标是将其研究用于政策解决方案。这一奖项反映了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。

The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is the National Member Organization representing the United States in the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), an international research institute located in Laxenburg, Austria. The NAS carries out its membership responsibilities through the U.S. Committee for IIASA, housed in the Board on International Scientific Organizations (BISO). These responsibilities take two forms: participating in governance of the Institute through participation in the IIASA Council and direct interaction with the organization; and facilitating and encouraging U.S. interest in IIASA's activities. The goals of this award, to be performed by BISO and the U.S. Committee for IIASA, reflect both the IIASA Strategic Plan, 2021-2030 and the BISO Strategic Plan, 2019-2024, and are to help build and promote strong science programs at IIASA, and to strengthen and promote a strong U.S.-international, IIASA-related network. IIASA has made and continues to make important contributions to complex global issues by using a systems analysis approach to advance and inform both science and policy and covering topics of societal importance such as food and water security, biodiversity and sustainability, systemic risk and resilience, and climate change and population. IIASA’s goal is for its research to be used for policy solutions.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.
