The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) provides a standardized instrumentation and observational platform with the capability to measure the structure, composition, processes, and dynamics of the biosphere from local to continental scales. NEON is the first continental-scale facility designed to enable ecological research on the causes of and responses to environmental change. It provides this capability through in situ sensing capabilities, biological measurements, airborne remote sensing, and data products delivered through a cyberinfrastructure backbone that ensures community access to these resources. NEON supports a large and diverse group of stakeholders - ecologists, educators, policy makers, and engineers - who use the NEON infrastructure and data in their research, management and training programs. Data provided by NEON contributes to collaborative, innovative, multi-disciplinary approaches to educate undergraduate and graduate students. Education and training initiatives include workshops, seminars, tutorials, and data carpentry courses. NEON recruits individuals from underserved and minority communities, through a program that capitalizes on the distributed nature of NEON and the expertise at localized ecological domains to promote broader community engagement.This award to the Battelle Memorial Institute (BMI/Battelle) is to operate the NEON for three years (FY 2018 - 20). The first year of operations is being performed as construction is finalized, while the second and third years occur after construction is complete. The award supports the scientific, technical and human resource requirements of NEON operations. During this operations phase, BMI is exploring efficiencies across the observatory network that will inform full operations, while maintaining the scientific integrity of the data products being provided to the scientific community. BMI is also ramping up engagement with the scientific community to increase awareness and use through the utilization of advisory groups, outreach through workshops, and other approaches. Activities during initial operations provide data essential for addressing the effect of stressors, such as land use change and invasive species, among other environmental factors, on regional and continental scale ecological processes. NEON provides, for the first time, a highly coordinated national infrastructure for monitoring critical ecological properties at multiple spatial and temporal scales. The NEON infrastructure is deployed across 20 ecological domains that span the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Included are 81 observation sites (47 terrestrial, 34 aquatic), along with complementary remote sensing airborne activities. The operations plan is expected to ingest data, monitor data quality, and process data into useable products that are broadly accessible to stakeholders. Additionally, NEON provides research infrastructure in the form of assignable assets to support community-driven research and educational activities.

国家生态观测网络（NEON）提供了标准化的仪器和观测平台，能够衡量从局部到大陆尺度的生物圈的结构，组成，过程和动力学。霓虹灯是第一个旨在实现对环境变化的原因和反应的生态研究的大陆规模设施。它通过原位感测功能，生物测量，空降遥感以及通过Cyber​​infrastructure主链传递的数据产品来提供此功能，从而确保社区访问这些资源。霓虹灯支持一群多样化的利益相关者 - 生态学家，教育者，政策制定者和工程师 - 在其研究，管理和培训计划中使用霓虹灯基础设施和数据。霓虹灯提供的数据有助于协作，创新，多学科的方法，以教育本科生和研究生。教育和培训计划包括研讨会，研讨会，教程和数据木工课程。霓虹灯通过一项计划招募来自服务不足和少数民族社区的个人，该计划利用了霓虹灯的分布性质以及本地生态领域的专业知识，以促进更广泛的社区参与。这是Battelle Memorial Institute（BMI/Battelle）的奖项，将在三年内运作Neon（2018年至20年）。当施工最终确定，而在施工完成后，将进行操作的第一年，而第二年则进行。该奖项支持霓虹灯运营的科学，技术和人力资源要求。在此操作阶段，BMI正在探索跨天文台网络的效率，这些效率将为全面运营提供信息，同时保持提供给科学界的数据产品的科学完整性。 BMI还正在加强与科学界的参与，以通过利用咨询小组，通过研讨会以及其他方法来提高意识和利用。初始操作期间的活动为解决压力源的影响（例如土地使用变化和入侵物种）提供了必不可少的数据，以及其他环境因素对区域和大陆规模生态过程的影响。霓虹灯首次提供了高度协调的国家基础设施，用于监测多个空间和时间尺度的关键生态特性。霓虹灯基础设施部署在跨越美国大陆，阿拉斯加，夏威夷和波多黎各的20个生态领域。其中包括81个观测地点（47个陆地，34种水生），以及互补的遥感空气传播活动。预计运营计划将摄取数据质量，监控数据质量以及处理数据，这些产品可用于利益相关者广泛访问的可用产品。此外，霓虹灯以可分配资产的形式提供研究基础设施，以支持社区驱动的研究和教育活动。
