This project supports the US Secretariat of Future Earth. Future Earth harnesses the insights and capacity of the global scientific community to address global problems, like a warming and increasingly unstable climate, and a rapid loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. The Future Earth effort is based on the recognition that modern global change challenges require coordinated research efforts bringing together the world's best researchers in the natural, social, behavioral, and engineering sciences, and connecting these researchers with the needs and capacities embedded within a wide range of stakeholder institutions and communities. The Secretariat leads and co-leads core functions that include research enabling, networks and capacity, information technology, and communications. In addition, the US Global Hub leads the evolution and growth of Future Earth’s global efforts and directs many of Future Earth’s core global initiatives, including a flagship capacity building program, communications products, and collaborative data-platforms.Future Earth provides a critical service to the science community by advancing global change science in the US and around the world, and by supporting the full range of research modalities from fundamental disciplinary research to transdisciplinary research. By connecting research across geography and discipline, the project supports the emergence of novel, integrative scientific ideas. By elevating the spread and impact of scientific results and connecting these results with constituencies in business, government, and civil society, Future Earth’s work supports decision making around the world. It also connects US researchers with a vast and rapidly growing network of leading international scholars in global change research and provides direct access to new knowledge and initiatives. This work includes a broad range of communication capacities in the US and around the world, like the establishment of the Sustainability Research and Innovation Congress, the first global convening that brings the global change research and innovation communities together, on an annual basis. The Future Earth US Global Hub has also established partnerships to build and diversify the next generation of global change researchers through an internship program.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.

该项目支持美国未来地球秘书处利用全球科学界的见解和能力来解决气候变暖和日益不稳定以及生物多样性和生态系统服务迅速丧失等全球问题。基于这样的认识，即现代全球变化挑战需要协调一致的研究工作，将世界上自然、社会、行为和工程科学领域最优秀的研究人员聚集在一起，并将这些研究人员与广泛的利益相关者机构和社区的需求和能力联系起来.秘书处领导并共同领导包括研究支持、网络和能力、信息技术和通信在内的核心职能。此外，美国全球中心还领导“未来地球”全球努力的演变和发展，并指导“未来地球”的许多核心全球举措，包括旗舰项目。能力建设计划、通信产品和协作数据平台。未来地球通过推进美国和世界各地的全球变化科学，并支持从基础学科研究到跨学科研究。通过将跨地域和跨学科的研究联系起来，该项目支持新颖、综合的科学思想的出现，通过提高科学成果的传播和影响力，并将这些成果与企业、政府和民间社会的支持者联系起来，未来地球的工作为决策提供支持。它还将美国研究人员与全球变化研究方面的庞大且快速增长的国际领先学者网络联系起来，并提供直接获取新知识和倡议的机会。这项工作包括在美国和世界各地的广泛交流能力。 ，就像建立可持续发展研究与创新大会是每年一次将全球变化研究和创新界聚集在一起的全球会议，未来地球美国全球中心还建立了合作伙伴关系，通过实习培养下一代全球变化研究人员并使其多样化。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
