The future health, welfare, and security of the U.S. depend upon diverse natural systems that can be altered by the changing world. The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), the first continental-scale facility of its kind in the world, addresses the nature of these changes and their causes by acquiring standardized biological and environmental measurements from the local to continental scale. It provides key data to enable scientists to understand and predict the changes and enable policy makers potentially to lessen detrimental effects. NEON is democratizing access to this area of science in unprecedented ways by providing high-quality data free of charge to anyone interested in pursuing advanced ecological and climate research. NEON provides outreach nationwide in each of its 20 ecological regions to build a diverse, inclusive, and interdisciplinary next generation of researchers. With its partners, NEON provides data skills training and educational materials to a wide variety of stakeholders. The NEON mission is to enable better understanding and prediction of the drivers of, and responses to, ecological changes by providing freely available, high-quality continental and decadal-scale ecological data and samples informed by broad scientific engagement. The managing entity for this project realizes this mission and advances the potential for discovery by providing rapid and broadened access to high-quality NEON data and samples through robust, secure, and accessible cyberinfrastructure, educational and outreach programs, findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable – FAIR - data partners, and the NEON Biorepository. The robust NEON cyberinfrastructure that provides free and open access to data and analytic tools will continue to empower a community of practice to develop open-source code, analytic tools, standardized protocols, and derived ecological data products. NEON infrastructure is continuously operated at 81 sites in 20 distinct ecological regions spanning the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Over 180 data products are collected using a sensor network, airborne remote sensing, and manual field observations and collections. These free and openly available data are provided to scientists, educators, and the public for societal benefit through the NEON data portal (https://data.neonscience.org/). Physical samples are collected and made available for use through the NEON Biorepository (https://biorepo.neonscience.org/portal/). NEON provides customized access to many parts of its infrastructure, including personnel, through a cost-recoverable Assignable Assets program. Centralized planning drives efficient management with consistency and quality in data; decentralized execution across the 20 NEON Domains accommodates the diversity of environments in the US. The potential for NEON to advance interdisciplinary knowledge will be amplified by engaging in extensive strategic partnerships. NEON will build a diverse, inclusive, and interdisciplinary next generation of researchers and workforce by providing training in the use of NEON data, supporting NEON ambassadors and partners, and conducting training in standardized ecological field sampling protocols. Continual improvement of NEON operations, including training and outreach activities, will be driven by regular external evaluation against Observatory performance metrics.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.

美国的未来健康，福利和安全取决于不断变化的世界可能改变的潜水自然系统。国家生态天文台网络（NEON）是世界上同类产品的第一个连续尺度设施，通过从当地到连续量表中获得标准化的生物学和环境测量来解决这些变化及其原因的性质。它提供了关键数据，以使科学家能够理解和预测变化，并使政策制定者有可能降低有害影响。 Neon通过向有兴趣进行先进的生态和气候研究的任何人免费提供高质量的数据，以前所未有的方式使进入这一科学领域的访问权限。 Neon在其20个生态区域中的每个地区都提供全国范围内的外展，以建立潜水员，包容和跨学科的下一代研究人员。 NEON与合作伙伴一起为各种利益相关者提供数据技能培训和教育材料。霓虹灯的使命是通过提供自由供应，高质量的连续和十年规模的生态数据以及通过广泛的科学参与信息来更好地理解和预测生态变化的驱动因素和对生态变化的反应。该项目的管理实体实现了这一使命，并通过通过稳健，安全且可访问的网络基础设施，可访问，可访问，可互操作，可重复使用的 - 公平的数据派对以及Neon BioreRepositor提供了迅速，安全且可访问的网络基础结构，可访问，可访问，可互操作和可重复使用的网络基础结构，可访问，可访问，可访问，可互动，可访问，可访问，可访问，可访问 - 可重复使用 - 数据派对以及NEON BIOREREPOSERITY，通过可快速和扩展的发现潜力。强大的霓虹灯网络基础设施可为数据和分析工具提供免费开放的访问权限，将继续增强实践社区的能力，以开发开源代码，分析工具，标准化协议和衍生的生态数据产品。霓虹灯基础设施在20个不同的生态区域的81个地点连续运行，跨越了美国连续的美国，阿拉斯加，夏威夷和波多黎各。使用传感器网络，机载遥感以及手动现场观测和收集收集了超过180个数据产品。这些免费且公开的数据通过霓虹灯数据门户（https://data.neonscience.org/）提供给科学家，教育者和公众的社会利益。收集物理样本并通过霓虹灯生物座（https://biorepo.neonscience.org/portal/）使用。 NEON通过可追溯可转移的可分配资产计划提供了对其基础架构（包括人）的许多部分的自定义访问权限。集中计划推动具有一致性和质量数据的有效管理；跨20个霓虹灯域的分散执行说明了美国环境的多样性。通过建立广泛的战略伙伴关系，将扩大霓虹灯促进跨学科知识的潜力。霓虹灯将通过在使用霓虹灯数据，支持霓虹灯大使和合作伙伴的情况下提供培训，并在标准化的生态现场抽样方案中进行培训，从而建立多样性，包容和跨学科的下一代研究人员和劳动力。霓虹灯运营的持续改进，包括培训和外展活动，将由定期针对天文台绩效指标的外部评估驱动。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。
