This award provides support to U.S. researchers participating in a project competitively selected by a 55-country initiative on global change research through the Belmont Forum. The Belmont Forum is a consortium of research funding organizations focused on support for transdisciplinary approaches to global environmental change challenges and opportunities. It aims to accelerate delivery of the international research most urgently needed to remove critical barriers to sustainability by aligning and mobilizing international resources. Each partner country provides funding for their researchers within a consortium to alleviate the need for funds to cross international borders. This approach facilitates effective leveraging of national resources to support excellent research on topics of global relevance best tackled through a multinational approach, recognizing that global challenges need global solutions.Working together in this Collaborative Research Action, the partner agencies have provided support to foster global transdisciplinary research teams to address critical issues in ocean sustainability including, conservation and sustainable use of the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development. This complex challenge required that the projects utilized integrated, transdisciplinary and cross-sectoral approaches and bring together natural and social sciences as well as policymakers, resource managers, industries, citizens and other societal partners. This award provides support for the U.S. researchers to cooperate in consortia that consist of partners from at least three of the participating countries to increase our knowledge of the complex linkages and pathways needed to accelerate sustainable use of oceans and minimize the effects from global change. The project focuses on developing a model to sustainably culture and harvest cone snails. Toxins of cone snails are an important source of pharmaceuticals for treating human health and may have other significant molecular properties with diverse applications. The potential benefits and uses of cone derived pharmaceuticals are evident in current clinical trials and the approval of one cone derived pain medication. This project will focus on French Polynesia and seeks to provide critical information to help communities develop integrated, ethical, and sustainable harvesting and aquaculture practices. The project will develop a model for the maintenance and enhancement of the sustainable wellbeing of these communities and their linked marine environments and ecologies through an integrated approach to developing new blue economics including significant advances in its aquaculture and venom exploitation processes.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.

该奖项为参加一个由55个国家通过Belmont论坛进行全球变更研究的计划竞争性选择的项目提供了支持。 Belmont论坛是一个研究资助组织的财团，专注于支持全球环境变化挑战和机遇的跨学科方法。 它的目的是加快迫切需要的国际研究的交付，以通过结盟和动员国际资源来消除可持续性的关键障碍。每个合作伙伴国家为财团内的研究人员提供资金，以减轻资金越过国际边界的需求。这种方法有助于利用国家资源的有效利用，以支持有关全球相关性主题的出色研究，最好通过跨国学方法来解决全球相关性，并认识到全球挑战需要全球解决方案。在这一合作研究行动中共同努力，合作伙伴机构为促进全球跨学科研究团队提供了支持，以解决海洋可持续性的重要问题，包括海洋可持续性，包括海洋可持续发展，包括海洋和海洋资源，seas和SEAS，SEAS和MARINANE SEAS和MARINESEAS和MARINE ANKINAS和MARINES。 这一复杂的挑战要求这些项目利用综合，跨学科和跨部门的方法，将自然和社会科学以及政策制定者，资源经理，行业，公民和其他社会伙伴汇集在一起​​。 该奖项为美国的研究人员提供了支持，以合作在财团中合作，这些奖项由至少三个参与国家的合作伙伴组成，以提高我们对加速可持续使用海洋所需的复杂联系和途径的了解，并最大程度地减少全球变化的影响。 该项目着重于开发一种可持续文化和收获锥蜗牛的模型。锥形蜗牛的毒素是治疗人类健康的重要来源，并且可能具有其他重要的分子特性，并具有不同的应用。在当前的临床试验和一种锥体衍生的止痛药物的批准中，锥衍生的药物的潜在益处和用途是明显的。 该项目将着重于法国波利尼西亚，并寻求提供关键信息，以帮助社区发展综合，道德和可持续的收获和水产养殖实践。 该项目将通过一种综合方法来开发这些社区的可持续福祉及其联系的海洋环境和生态学的模型，以开发新的蓝色经济学，包括其水产养殖和毒液剥削过程的重大进步。该奖项颁发了NSF的法定任务，反映了通过评估基金会的范围和广泛的基金会的支持。
