BORRADOR MINUTAS DE LA OCTAVA REUNIÓN DEL COMITÉ EJECUYTIVO DEL IAI

The IAI Executive Committee met in Uruguay to approve 14 research proposals under the Cooperative Research Networks (CRN) program and establish a working group for the Program to Expand Scientific Capabilities in the Americas (PESCA), with the US committing $300,000 annually for five years. The meeting addressed financial challenges, including $83,000 in unpaid member contributions, and the need for better dissemination of scientific results from the ISP I and II projects. The committee also approved terms of reference for funding working groups and discussed future education and training strategies for the hemisphere.

• The Executive Committee approved 14 research proposals for funding and support under the Cooperative Research Networks (CRN) program for the next five years, following recommendations from the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC).
• A working group comprising representatives from Cuba, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, Uruguay, Venezuela, the USA, and the SAC President was tasked with developing a five-year proposal for the Program to Expand Scientific Capabilities in the Americas (PESCA). The US committed to providing $300,000 per year for five years to support this program.
• The IAI has lost a total of $83,000 in approved but unpaid contributions from member countries, leading the Executive Committee to recommend that the Director send formal letters regarding these outstanding payments.
• The delegation from Brazil criticized the modest scientific output of the ISP I and II projects relative to the $2 million investment, prompting a consensus that the IAI must ensure reports are produced and sent to policymakers.
• The Executive Committee approved terms of reference for two working groups: one focused on exploring funding possibilities with the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and another dedicated to fundraising.
• The committee agreed to develop a five-year strategy for education and training in the hemisphere, including the creation of a task force to identify investment principles and specific programs to attract external financial resources.
