IAI Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) Report to the Conference of the Parties

The IAI Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) managed the review and selection of CRN3 proposals from June 2011 to June 2012. Out of 88 pre-proposals, 26 full proposals were reviewed, and 8 were selected for funding. These 8 projects involve 117 investigators from 75 institutions across 16 countries. The SAC emphasized the need for multi-country teams, capacity building, and the integration of human dimensions and social sciences into climate research.

• The SAC implemented the IAI Strategic Plan by integrating its core objectives into the CRN3 grant call, requiring proposals to demonstrate excellence in science, multi-country collaboration with equal access to facilities, capacity building, the inclusion of human dimensions experts, and links between science and policy.
• The CRN3 selection process resulted in 8 funded proposals selected from an initial pool of 88 pre-proposals and 26 final proposals. These funded projects involve 117 investigators (8 Principal Investigators and 109 Co-PIs) from 75 institutions across 16 countries, including 14 member countries and 2 non-member countries.
• The SAC identified a future strategic need to increase the integration of natural and social sciences within IAI's research efforts.
