El Plan Estratégico del IAI

The IAI Strategic Plan (2019–2044) establishes a 25-year framework to bridge the gap between science and policy across the Americas. The plan is organized into three themes: meeting the needs of member states regarding global environmental change, advancing science for regional sustainability, and ensuring the IAI's own organizational sustainability. Key priorities include promoting open data, supporting underrepresented groups, and focusing research on critical areas such as food and water security, renewable energy, and climate action. The institute aims to expand its membership to all nations in the Americas and establish a $100 million endowment fund to secure its long-term operations.

• The institute prioritizes transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary research to inform policies on eight specific sustainability goals: poverty and equality, food security, water security, energy security, climate action, human health and wellbeing, biological diversity and ecosystem services, and clean air, water, and soil.
• The IAI commits to the principles of open science and open data, requiring that all sponsored research follow these principles and that literature be made freely available or deposited in public repositories within 12 months of publication.
• A core objective of the plan is to increase inclusivity by involving underrepresented groups—including indigenous peoples, the rural poor, youth, women, and people with disabilities—from the design phase of research projects.
• To ensure financial viability, the IAI aims to establish an endowment fund with a target of 100 million US dollars within ten years.
• The IAI seeks to expand its regional reach by encouraging all nations in the Americas to become member states, specifically targeting four nations in Central America and the Caribbean for membership by 2022.
