CORE BUDGET REQUEST FOR FISCAL YEAR 2007/2008

The Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) requests a core budget of US$ 1,014,931 for fiscal year 2007/2008, a level consistent with the previous two years. The budget supports the Directorate's operations, including the management of the CRN II Program, the implementation of the Small Grants Program for the Human Dimensions (SGP-HD), and the development of a new IAI Strategic Plan. A significant portion of the budget is allocated to salaries and benefits, with proposed adjustments to compensate for the loss of purchasing power of the US dollar against the Brazilian Real. The budget is funded by contributions from member countries, with the United States providing the largest share at US$ 595,000.

• The total core budget request for the 2007/2008 fiscal year is US$ 1,014,931, which is nearly identical to the 2006/2007 budget of US$ 1,012,405.
• The IAI is implementing the Small Grants Program for the Human Dimensions (SGP-HD) with a total budget of US$ 800,000 to support 4-6 research projects, each receiving up to US$ 80,000 per year for up to two years.
• The Directorate proposes salary and benefit adjustments for international employees to address a 20.9% loss in the purchasing power of the US dollar relative to the Brazilian Real between the first quarters of 2005 and 2007.
• Member country contributions for 2007/2008 are requested at the same levels as previous years, with the United States contributing US$ 595,000 (60.75%) and Canada contributing US$ 125,000 (12.63%).
• Key scientific priorities for the 2007/2008 period include the management of the CRN II Program, the synthesis of CRN I results, and the development of an IAI Strategic Plan to link science with policy decision makers.
• The IAI is utilizing its observer status at the UNFCCC to connect regional scientists to international networks, including participation in SBSTA sessions and meetings for Non-Annex I countries such as Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
