The May 1999 IAI Director's Report outlines the progress of the Initial Science Program (ISP) and the Collaborative Research Network (CRN), the latter of which funded 13 projects with a total adjusted budget of US$ 10.4 million. The report highlights challenges in securing diverse funding beyond the NSF and notes a deficit in voluntary member country contributions. It also details capacity-building initiatives, including the IAI-UM Summer Institute and the Pan-American Climate Information System (PACIS), and reports on diplomatic missions to member countries to strengthen institutional ties.

  • The IAI Collaborative Research Network (CRN) program selected 13 projects for funding, with total requested budgets of US$ 12,705,000 reduced to US$ 10,437,000. Budget reductions averaged 18% and primarily affected travel, salary support, and publication costs, which were often absorbed as in-kind contributions.
  • The IAI's funding basis is heavily reliant on the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Director notes an urgent need to diversify funding sources to include more multiple country participation, despite some contributions from Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico.
