This project provides core operational support to enable the ongoing work of START International to develop comprehensive science capacity development programs, projects and actions in Africa and Asia. Support for START serves to advance the strategic aims the US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) with respect to the US Government’s commitment to supporting stronger scientific capacities in low and middle-income countries. START is able to accomplish this through USGCRP's core support of its operations that allows the organization to seek broader support for projects and other activities from other governments, private foundations, and multilateral bodies. Core support for START is critical for advancing the organization’s mission to cultivate, inspire and connect emerging science leaders in Africa and Asia to work with societal partners in creating a more sustainable and equitable future. This project will enable START to create new programs and partnerships that provide comprehensive capacity development in Africa and Asia through skill-building, scientific leadership, and experiential learning. START’s work primarily targets early-career researchers and sustainability professionals who engage with global change science in the areas of adaptation, climate finance, renewable energy, human health and climate, and urban resilience among other themes. In the period covered by this project, START will continue to build on its collaborations with Future Earth and the World Climate Research Program (WCRP), and in doing so bring START's knowledge and expertise to these collaborations, such as through a collaboration with the WCRP in developing new actions in Africa related to the emerging Regional Information for Society project, and with Future Earth related to skill building for transdisciplinary research and science leadership.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.

该项目提供核心运营支持，使 START International 能够在非洲和亚洲开展全面的科学能力发展计划、项目和行动，支持 START 旨在推进美国全球变化研究计划 (USGCRP) 的战略目标。 START 能够通过 USGCRP 对其业务的核心支持来实现这一目标，这使得该组织能够为其他政府、私人基金会的项目和其他活动寻求更广泛的支持。 ，以及多边对 START 的核心支持对于推进该组织的使命至关重要，即培养、激励和联系非洲和亚洲的新兴科学领袖，与社会伙伴合作创造一个更加可持续和公平的未来。 START 的工作主要针对在适应、气候融资、可再生能源领域从事全球变化科学的早期职业研究人员和可持续发展专业人士。 、人类健康和气候以及城市在该项目涵盖的期间，START 将继续加强与未来地球和世界气候研究计划 (WCRP) 的合作，并在此过程中将 START 的知识和专业知识带入这些合作中，例如通过与 WCRP 合作，在非洲制定与新兴的区域社会信息项目相关的新行动，并与未来地球合作，与跨学科研究和科学领导力的技能建设相关。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并被认为值得通过以下方式获得支持：评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
