Our fundamental understanding of the effects of climate and landuse change, and invasive species on the biosphere requires an instrument platform that has the capabilities to measure the structure, composition, processes, and dynamics of the biosphere from sub-meter to regional scales, regional scales to the continental scales, and beyond. The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) will be the first national experimental facility specifically designed to enable research on both the causes of and responses to environmental change across these scales. NEON will provide this capability through in situ sensing capabilities, biological measurements, manipulative experiments, airborne remote sensing, analytical facilities, and facilities for data analysis, modeling, visualization, and forecasting, all networked via a cyberinfrastructure backbone. NEON will provide a unique facility to support a large and diverse group of organizations and individuals; foremost are the scientists, educators, and engineers who will use NEON infrastructure in their research and educational programs. The NEON data will contribute to an innovative multi-disciplinary approach to educate undergraduate and graduate students, the public, and policy-making individuals. Graduate and Post Doctoral training and internships and undergraduate research opportunities will be implemented based on NEON's accomplishment based learning. A museum project, workshops, seminars and courses are planned. The NEON Citizen science products (including Project BudBurst, http://neoninc.org/budburst/) and all educational components of the NEON web portal will be operational. The NEON Observatory will continue its collaborative partnerships and training programs with underserved and minority communities.This award to NEON, Inc. provides three years support for the initial operations of NEON. Funds will support the scientific, technical and management staff and operations of central and distributed facilities including NEON Headquarters and Technical Support Facilities and 19 Domain Support Facilities. In addition 86 observation sites will be commissioned including, 47 terrestrial sites and 39 aquatic sites with co-located 7 stream experimental sites and begin operations to provide data for basic research, education, and management. The operations scope will scale in proportion to the site commissioning. The three Airborne Observatories will begin conducting routine remote sensing campaigns and supporting investigator driven research. The Data Center will provide data and data products from the accepted sites, education program, and remote sensing. Funds will support the Education and Training Program. During the period of initial operations, NEON, Inc. will evaluate management and cost efficiencies to refine both. The project can be accessed at http://neoninc.org.

我们对气候变化和生物圈的侵入性物种的影响的基本理解需要一个仪器平台，该仪器平台具有衡量生物圈从子米到区域尺度，到大陆尺度的区域尺度的结构，组成，过程和动态的能力。国家生态天文台网络（NEON）将是第一个专门设计的国家实验设施，旨在研究这些量表的原因和对环境变化的响应的研究。霓虹灯将通过原位感应能力，生物测量，操纵实验，空气寄生的遥感，分析设施和设施来提供数据分析，建模，可视化和预测的设施，所有这些都通过Cyber​​infronstruction Backon进行了网络。霓虹灯将提供一个独特的设施，以支持大量多样化的组织和个人；最重要的是科学家，教育工作者和工程师，他们将在其研究和教育计划中使用霓虹灯基础设施。霓虹灯数据将有助于一种创新的多学科方法，以教育本科生和研究生，公众和决策者。研究生和博士后培训以及实习以及本科研究机会将根据霓虹灯的基于成就的学习来实施。计划了一个博物馆项目，研讨会，研讨会和课程。霓虹灯公民科学产品（包括Budburst Project，http://neoninc.org/budburst/）以及Neon Web门户的所有教育组成部分都将运行。霓虹灯天文台将继续与服务不足和少数民族社区的合作伙伴关系和培训计划。这项授予Neon，Inc。的奖项为NEON的初始运营提供了三年的支持。资金将支持中央和分布式设施的科学，技术和管理人员以及包括霓虹灯总部和技术支持设施以及19个领域支持设施的运营。此外，将委托86个观察站点，其中包括47个地面地点和39个水上站，并共同置于7个流实验地点，并开始运营以提供基础研究，教育和管理的数据。操作范围将按照现场调试成比例。这三个空降的观测站将开始进行常规的遥感运动，并支持调查员以驱动的研究。数据中心将从公认的站点，教育计划和遥感中提供数据和数据产品。资金将支持教育和培训计划。在初始运营期间，Neon，Inc。将评估管理和成本效率以完善这两者。可以在http://neoninc.org上访问该项目。
