Informe de la Dirección Ejecutiva Ciencia

The 'Informe de la Dirección Ejecutiva Ciencia' provides a progress report on the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) scientific activities, focusing on the conclusion of the third Cooperative Research Networks program (CRN3), the implementation of the Small Grants Program on Ecosystem Services for Human Well-being (SGP-HW), and the planning for the fourth CRN round (CRN4).

• The third Cooperative Research Networks program (CRN3) involved 17 projects and 90 research institutions across 15 of the 19 IAI Parties. The program focused on transdisciplinary science and regional cooperation, with 42% of the 120 Principal Investigators being early-career researchers (those with a PhD for less than ten years) and 29% being women.
• CRN3 projects concluded their research activities in December 2018, with a final no-cost extension date of February 28, 2020. Beyond IAI funding, these projects leveraged an additional US$15.36 million in funds during their sixth year.
• The Small Grants Program on Ecosystem Services for Human Well-being (SGP-HW) selected six projects for funding as of April 2019. The selection process emphasized both scientific excellence and social relevance, requiring proposals to include data management plans in alignment with the IAI's Open Data Policy.
• The SGP-HW program utilized a joint design and proposal writing workshop involving 104 researchers and stakeholders from 14 countries. An anonymous survey with a 73% response rate indicated that 94% and 96% of participants believed the efforts for interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary science, respectively, were worthwhile.
• The IAI is planning the fourth round of Cooperative Research Networks (CRN4), which will be guided by a revised Scientific Agenda and a new Strategic Plan. The program will prioritize issues identified by the Parties and explore co-financing mechanisms, specifically looking at alignment with the Belmont Forum's Collaborative Research Action (CRA).
• A specific research partnership between the IAI and Argentina's National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) supported seven work plans to complement CRN3 activities. After a hiatus due to lack of funding, activities resumed in 2018 with a second round of funds.
