Informe del Comité ad hoc del IAI para las Relaciones con los Estados Miembro

The IAI ad hoc Committee for Relations with Member States met in February 2004 to develop strategies for improving engagement with member countries. Key actions included creating 'Partnership' documents for member states, identifying 3-5 key contacts per country across science implementation, policy, and funding, and sending formal letters to recover overdue budget contributions. The committee prioritised countries that were previously active but are now delinquent or inactive, specifically noting Bolivia for special contact. It also recommended that the next phase of the Cooperative Research Networks (CRN) program be a primary incentive for participation, emphasizing open calls for proposals and a focus on policy relevance.

• The Committee identified a need to improve the visibility of the IAI within government agencies of member countries, focusing on three specific focal points: science implementation, science policy, and science financing. The goal is to establish connections with approximately 3 to 5 key individuals per country.
• To manage financial obligations, the IAI Executive Director sent 'statement of account' letters to countries with current or overdue contributions to the Basic Budget. These letters will now be sent annually at the start of the fiscal year.
• The Committee established a priority system for member contact, targeting two groups: those who were recently active but are behind on budget contributions, and those who were active in the past but have since become inactive. Bolivia was specifically identified for special contact due to its interest in the IAI and its ratification of the Agreement two years prior.
• The Cooperative Research Networks (CRN) program is viewed as the most significant incentive for member country participation. The Committee recommended that the second stage (CRN II) be an open call for proposals for new networks and that evaluation criteria place greater weight on broader impacts, such as policy relevance and applications.
• The Committee advised against reducing the frequency of IAI meetings at this time, as the organization is currently attempting to regain the participation of member states.
