1995–2000: Cinco Años de Apoyo del IAI a la Investigación del Cambio Global en las Américas

The IAI invested approximately US$20 million between 1995 and 2000 to establish multinational research networks in the Americas. This was achieved through four primary programs: Start-up Grants (SG), the Initial Science Program (ISP), the Collaborative Research Network (CRN), and the Program to Expand Scientific Capacity in the Americas (PESCA). The IAI's Science Agenda focused on four themes, with the largest funding allocation going to 'Changes in the Composition of the Atmosphere, Oceans and Fresh Waters'. The institute reports 145 publications resulting from ISP and CRN funding and emphasizes student training as a key mechanism for regional scientific development. However, the IAI notes a funding gap of over US$6 million for high-quality research proposals that remain unfunded.

• Between 1995 and 2000, the IAI invested approximately US$20,000,000 in research and capacity-building programs to advance scientific development in the Americas.
• The IAI implemented a strategy to create multinational and multidisciplinary research networks through four complementary programs: the Start-up Grant (SG) Program, the Initial Science Program (ISP), the Collaborative Research Network (CRN) Program, and the Program to Expand Scientific Capacity in the Americas (PESCA).
• Funding was distributed across four main themes of the IAI Science Agenda, with 'Changes in the Composition of the Atmosphere, Oceans and Fresh Waters' receiving the highest total allocation of US$10,437,000 (approximately 36.3% of the total).
• The IAI's research support has led to the publication of 145 journal articles, book chapters, symposia, or reports specifically from research funded under the ISP and CRN programs.
• Student training and education are used as primary tools to build long-term scientific capacity and initiate collaboration; for instance, three of the eleven PESCA projects awarded in December 1999 resulted from the first IAI/UM Summer Institute held in July 1999 at the University of Miami.
• The IAI faces a significant funding shortfall, with over US$6,000,000 in high-quality research proposals remaining unfunded due to budget limits.
