Addressing today's environmental and sustainability challenges calls for solutions-oriented, actionable science, also known as engaged science. This approach is defined by two shifts from conventional ways of doing science. First, it requires collaborative, team-based science focused on problem solving of real-world problems. Second, the teams are comprised of a wide range of societal partners working closely with disciplinary experts. Although an improved understanding of guiding principles for engaged science are emerging through research and case study analysis at local to regional scales, sustainability scientists lack a common language and a common set of practices and approaches that can be used in many different regions and situations. This project aims to harness the collective wisdom of sustainability science researchers and leadership trainers from around the world, leading to aligned best practices and training products that can be used and adapted in regions around the world. This solutions-oriented, actionable science training will be used in academic and informal learning opportunities, improving the potential for researchers to partner effectively with government agencies, non-profit organizations, and the private sector to tackle pressing sustainability challenges.This project will enable a collaboration of training and research communities that will share knowledge, compare best practices, evaluate approaches and develop and test training materials for effective engaged science. The project will build a more coherent understanding of the central elements that allow solutions-oriented actionable research or transdisciplinary research to succeed, and provide a common framework for training in the field. The investigators plan to assemble a team of pioneering researchers and trainers who have been recognized in their region as thought leaders. The approach will be to mirror the process of transdisciplinary research—that of co-design, co-produce, and co-implement in order to create usable training products. These products will be tested in regional and global workshops in a variety of contexts by the experienced training team. After testing, the organizers will create a design guide accompanied by resources for transdisciplinary trainers and disseminate them widely throughout the regions where the researchers and trainers work as well as through global sustainability conferences and networks. This work will ultimately result in a common language for transdisciplinary research and will build new knowledge and training products focused on what works in transdisciplinary research.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.

应对当今的环境和可持续性挑战，要求采用以解决方案为导向的，可行的科学，也称为敬业的科学。这种方法是由从传统的科学方式转变而定义的。首先，它需要基于团队的协作科学，重点是解决现实世界中问题的问题。其次，团队完成了与纪律专家紧密合作的广泛社会合作伙伴。尽管通过在本地至区域范围内的研究和案例研究分析中出现了对参与科学的指导原则的深入了解，但可持续性科学家缺乏通用语言以及可以在许多不同地区和情况中使用的常见实践和方法。该项目旨在利用来自世界各地的可持续发展科学研究人员和领导力培训师的集体智慧，从而使最佳实践和培训产品保持一致，这些实践和培训产品可以在世界各地使用和适应。这种面向解决方案的，可行的科学培训将用于学术和非正式的学习机会，提高了研究人员与政府机构，非营利组织和私营部门有效合作的潜力，以应对紧迫的可持续发展挑战。该项目将使培训和研究社区的合作能够共享知识，分享知识，评估最佳实践，评估最佳实践，评估和测试培训和测试培训材料。该项目将对中心因素建立更连贯的理解，这些要素允许以解决方案为导向的可行研究或跨学科研究成功，并为该领域提供了共同的框架。调查人员计划组建一组开创性的研究人员和培训师，他们在其地区被认为是思想领袖。该方法将是反映跨学科研究的过程，即共同设计，共同制作和共同实施的过程，以创建可用的培训产品。经验丰富的培训团队将在各种情况下在各种环境中在区域和全球研讨会上进行测试。经过测试后，组织者将创建一个设计指南，并伴随着跨学科培训师的资源，并在研究人员和培训师工作以及通过全球可持续性会议和网络工作的整个地区进行广泛传播。这项工作最终将导致一种用于跨学科研究的通用语言，并将建立新的知识和培训产品，重点介绍了跨学科研究中有效的工作。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响来诚实地认为，通过评估来诚实地支持审查标准。
