This briefing from the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) presents the core budget request for the 2025-2026 fiscal year and preliminary requests for 2026-2028, detailing administrative adjustments, operational costs, and a proposal for increased country contributions.

• The total core budget request for the 2025-2026 fiscal year is $1,680,000, which is unchanged from the 2024-2025 budget. The largest expenditure is Salaries & Benefits at $1,256,139. Preliminary requests for subsequent years show a projected increase, reaching $1,764,000 for 2026-2027 and $1,852,200 for 2027-2028.
• The IAI Directorate has implemented administrative adjustments to optimize spending efficiency and rationalize staff responsibilities. This includes maintaining the use of specialized consultancies to manage costs associated with permanent personnel and reducing information technology costs following the Directorate's move to Panama, retaining only the SAP operating system backup service.
• The IAI has expanded its digital outreach by adding new sections to its website regarding internships, STeP information, the IAI Transdisciplinary Academy, and IAI-Pages Mobility Grants. Additionally, the database of IAI-funded scientific articles has been reprogrammed to provide a replica in the Harvard Dataverse.
• The proposal for country contributions suggests an increase of 20% compared to the 2023-2024 period, with subsequent annual increases of 5%. The Directorate reports that its ability to meet operational responsibilities is currently under pressure due to non-payment or delayed contributions from some Parties.
