This document outlines the draft Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and metrics designed to measure the success of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) 25-year Strategic Plan (2019–2044). It establishes a framework of leading and lagging metrics to assess organizational performance across themes such as fundraising, open data, capacity building, and science-policy integration in the Americas.

• The IAI's 25-year Strategic Plan, covering 2019 to 2044, aims to align activities with the IAI's establishing Agreement, direct transdisciplinary science toward sustainability challenges in the Americas, and ensure the organization's own sustainability.
• The IAI has established a performance measurement framework using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to evaluate organizational performance, supported by 'leading metrics' (actions that lead to results) and 'lagging metrics' (outputs or results).
• Financial goals include growing the IAI endowment fund by 2% annually, ensuring 10% of the endowment comes from non-public donors and foundations, and achieving a minimum of 10 million USD in contributions by 2024.
• The IAI aims to improve data accessibility by requiring new data to be available on its open data portal within two months of publishing or twelve months after project completion.
• The organization targets increased inclusivity in research, with a KPI stating that 20% or more of peer-reviewed projects focusing on interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary science should include representation from underrepresented groups.
• By 2044, the IAI intends to demonstrate measurable research impacts on the region regarding specific challenges, including energy security, climate action, food security, poverty and equality, water security, human health and wellbeing, biodiversity and ecosystem services, and clean air, water and soil.
• The Strategic Plan and its associated indicators and metrics are scheduled for revision every three to six years to align with the tenure of the IAI Executive Director.
