This Sustainable Regional Systems Research Network Planning Grant project focuses on developing an action-oriented network of academic, industrial, governmental, and non-governmental organizations with the reach and expertise to define and parameterize a transition to a sustainable future and to outfit that network with the tools it needs to measure and manage that transition. Beginning with a focus on food and water subsystems (FWSS)—but eventually expanding to other basic needs—the research agenda involves three major steps: (1) Creating a shared understanding of the FWSS needs and challenges facing the multitude of regional stakeholders, (2) creating a shared vision of a future where these FWSS basic needs are met in a more sustainable and equitable way, and (3) engineering the tools and processes needed to make that future vision a reality. Any improvements to create better, more sustainable food and water systems requires working regionally among different jurisdictions and collaborating across state lines and all along the urban-rural continuum. Any lasting improvements to create more sustainable systems will require agreement on a regional agenda. The Washington, DC, region, given its size and complexity and position within the Chesapeake Bay watershed, provides the ideal case study for a research network to examine the complexities and promise of a sustainable regional systems approach focused on food and water. This project meets the mission of the National Science Foundation by providing actionable research to enhance the national health and prosperity in an equitable fashion.This planning grant project focuses on understanding how multiple stakeholders can achieve equitable regional sustainability and how entities can measure and manage food and water sustainability across complex systems at regional scales from a multiple stakeholder perspective. The project leverages existing partnerships to lay the groundwork for the creation of such an ensemble of adaptive interventions by (1) mapping the problems from multiple stakeholder perspectives, (2) envisioning the solutions and getting buy-in from those stakeholders, and (3) enlarging the network to account for gaps in representation and to ensure the capacity to eventually develop and deploy such an ensemble. The project will make the methodology that emerges from these planning phases extensible to additional basic needs subsystems and is transferable to other regions.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.

这项可持续的区域系统研究网络计划赠款项目着重于开发具有行动，工业，政府和非政府组织的面向行动的网络，并具有覆盖范围和专业知识，以定义和参数将过渡到可持续的未来的过渡，并配备该网络，并将其与所需的工具结合在一起，以衡量和管理该过渡。 Beginning with a focus on food and water subsystems (FWSS)—but eventually expanding to other basic needs—the research agenda involves three major steps: (1) Creating a shared understanding of the FWSS needs and challenges facing the multitude of regional stakeholders, (2) creating a shared vision of a future where these FWSS basic needs are met in a more sustainable and equitable way, and (3) engineering the tools and processes needed to make that future vision a 现实。任何改进以创造更好，更可持续的食品和供水系统都需要在不同司法管辖区进行区域工作，并在各州以及整个城市农村连续体之间进行合作。任何持久的改进以创建更可持续的系统都需要就区域Agerda达成协议。华盛顿特区，区域鉴于其在切萨皮克湾流域内的规模，复杂性和位置，为研究网络提供了理想的案例研究，以研究针对食品和水的可持续区域系统方法的复杂性和希望。该项目通过提供可行的研究来以公平的方式提高国家科学基金会的使命。该计划赠款项目重点是了解多个利益相关者如何实现公平的区域可持续性以及实体如何从多个利益相关者的角度来衡量和管理跨区域范围的复杂系统的食品和水的可持续性。该项目利用现有的合作伙伴关系为创建这种自适应干预措施的组合奠定了基础，（1）从多个利益相关者的角度绘制问题，（2）设想解决方案并从这些利益相关者那里获得买入，（3）增加网络以增加代表性和能力以最终发展和部署能力，以实现这一目标。该项目将使这些方法从这些计划阶段出现到其他基本需求子系统，并转移到其他地区。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用该基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响来审查标准，通过评估来诚实地支持支持。
