The report details the institutional and programmatic status of the IAI between July 2000 and June 2001. It covers membership ratification, the progress of the Initial Science Program (ISP), the Collaborative Research Network (CRN), and the Program to Expand Scientific Capacity in the Americas (PESCA). The report highlights the success of the IAI/UM Summer Institute in fostering multidisciplinary collaboration and outlines new initiatives, including the IAI Science Grant Phase II and co-funded training activities.

• No new nations deposited ratification instruments at the Organization of American States (OAS) between July 2000 and June 2001, and no documentation ratifying the amendment of CoP-VI Resolution #7 had been received by the OAS as of June 1, 2001.
• The Initial Science Program (ISP) has completed all projects from rounds I and II, and four of the sixteen projects in round III are finished. The total funding for the 39 awards across these rounds was US$ 3,838,388.
• IAI programs have involved a total of 459 unique scientists, consisting of 73 Principal Investigators (PIs) and 386 Co-PIs. The United States had the highest number of participating scientists with 152 unique investigators.
• The IAI/UM Summer Institute on 'Interdisciplinary Global Change Science in the Americas' is evaluated as a successful activity for capacity building and multidisciplinary collaboration, with a high number of applications over three years and a noted increase in the qualifications of applicants.
• The IAI is launching a Science Grant Phase II (IAI SGP-I) with US$ 300,000 in NSF funding, targeting junior researchers and students not previously involved as PIs, with grants limited to US$ 30-50K for research and US$ 10-15K for meetings.
• The IAI proposes to co-fund 'Summer-Institute-like' training activities with regional educational institutions, utilizing US$ 60,000 in remaining PESCA funds and additional institutional support, with a total funding target of US$ 80-100K per activity.
