This award provides core support for capacity building, communications and information technology activities of the US Hub of Future Earth Secretariat. The Future Earth program seeks to coordinate international global change research to help accelerate transformations to sustainability through research and innovation. In this role, the US Hub of Future Earth serves as a convener that helps US researchers engage in research based on the co-design and co-production of knowledge and tools designed to help develop solutions to global environmental challenges such as fresh water security, coastal vulnerability, disaster risk reduction and resilience. The program is supported by major U.S. agencies, under the interdisciplinary auspices of the U.S. Global Change Research Program. Over the past several years, the US Hub has taken on activities that directly support the USGCRP and its member agencies. These funds will be used to further engage the US research community in these developing efforts. The Future Earth program is organized around three major themes: Dynamic Planet; Global Development; and Transformations toward Sustainability. Under the auspices of these three themes, the US Hub of the Future Earth Secretariat will support workshops and other efforts to foster the co-design of research to enhance transdisciplinary efforts to help develop solutions for many challenging societal issues. The US Hub will also develop programs and initiatives to educate the next generation of inter-disciplinary researchers and professionals on how to integrate global sustainability with human prosperity and will actively engage the public through an extensive communication and outreach effort.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.

该奖项为美国枢纽未来地球秘书处的能力建设，通信和信息技术活动提供了核心支持。未来的地球计划旨在协调国际全球变化研究，以帮助通过研究和创新加速转型到可持续性。在这一角色中，美国的未来地球枢纽是召集人，该召集人可以帮助我们研究人员基于共同设计和共同生产知识和工具的研究，旨在帮助开发解决全球环境挑战的解决方案，例如淡水安全，沿海脆弱性，减少灾害风险和韧性。该计划得到了美国全球变更研究计划的跨学科主持的美国主要机构的支持。在过去的几年中，美国枢纽正在开展直接支持USGCRP及其成员机构的活动。这些资金将用于进一步吸引美国研究社区参与这些不断发展的努力。未来的地球计划围绕三个主要主题组织：动态星球；全球发展；和向可持续性的转变。在这三个主题的主持下，美国未来地球秘书处的枢纽将支持研讨会和其他努力，以促进研究的共同设计，以加强跨学科的努力，以帮助为许多具有挑战性的社会问题开发解决方案。美国枢纽还将制定计划和计划，以教育下一代跨学科研究人员和专业人员如何将全球可持续性与人类繁荣融为一体，并将通过广泛的沟通和外展努力积极地吸引公众。这项奖项反映了NSF的法定任务并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估值得支持的。
