Informe de la Dirección Ejecutiva del IAI

The IAI report details its efforts to bridge the gap between scientific research and regional policy implementation in the Americas. Key activities include the conclusion of the first Cooperative Research Networks (CRN-I) cycle, the launch of CRN-II with 39 proposals received, and the execution of training institutes in Mexico and Costa Rica. The institute also focused on administrative restructuring, including new project management manuals and the development of a new Data and Information System (DIS) with Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

• The IAI is shifting its strategic focus to ensure that scientific excellence is matched by regional relevance, aiming to provide 'utilizables' and relevant findings for social actors such as governments, municipalities, and farmers.
• The first round of the Cooperative Research Networks (CRN-I) is concluding, and the IAI is collaborating with the Scientific Committee on Environmental Problems (SCOPE) to evaluate its impact and the gap between science and governance.
• The second round of the Cooperative Research Networks (CRN-II) has progressed from 93 pre-proposals to 39 full proposals received by March 23, 2005.
• The IAI conducted two major training institutes in 2004: one in Mexico City on 'Urbanization and Global Environmental Change in Latin America' and another in Costa Rica on 'Food Systems and Globalization'.
• Two additional training institutes are planned for 2005, with one in Jamaica focusing on 'Vulnerability associated with Climate Change and variability' and another in Paraguay on 'Climate and Health'.
• The IAI is upgrading its technical infrastructure, including a new Data and Information System (DIS) developed with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory to improve the control of data produced by scientific projects.
• The institute faced significant administrative challenges, including a 40% reduction in income for local administrative staff due to contractual changes in the local foundation used by INPE for salary payments.
