Small Grants Program: The role of ecosystem services in adaptation to global change for human wellbeing (SGP-HW)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It focuses on scientific questions relevant to policymakers and other stakeholders, with high scientific interest and addressing issues related to human well-being and livelihoods. Projects are expected to provide support for decision-making and adaptation actions through a transdisciplinary approach that promotes the use, conservation, restoration, and management of ecosystems in ways that preserve natural capital while providing important services.

Small Grants Program (SGP)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Small Cooperative Research Grants Program in the Americas (SGP-CRA), 2012-2014<\/strong><\/a>, was created to strengthen the research networks developed within CRN 2 and enabled them to continue investigating the most novel and innovative aspects of their projects. This program concluded on December 31, 2015, with a no-cost extension. Thirteen of the 19 IAI member countries participated, with 9 Principal Investigators (PIs) and 67 Co-PIs across 53 institutions. In addition, 96 students participated in the program, 59 of whom received scholarships from the projects (representing an investment of US$248,819). The training activities and workshops funded by the projects were attended by 111 students. The total amount of additional funding obtained by the projects reached US$13,440,066.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Small Grants Programme for Human Dimensions (SGP-HD), 2007-2011<\/strong><\/a>, aimed to strengthen research on the human dimensions of global change (theme IV, Human Dimensions and Policy Implications, of the IAI Science Agenda) by establishing strong connections with CRN 2 projects through the integration of the natural and social sciences. Initially, six projects were approved under this programme. Five of them received an extension until 2011, based on an expansion of their work plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first two rounds of the Small Grants Programme (SGP 1, 2002-2004<\/strong><\/a> and SGP 2, 2003-2006<\/strong><\/a>) aimed to fund research and capacity-building activities that would facilitate the future development of broader scientific programs and research networks. They also provided an opportunity to bring together scientists and policymakers in activities aimed at integrating scientific knowledge into decision-making processes regarding global environmental problems of regional importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Initial Scientific Program (ISP)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The three rounds of the ISP aimed to expand ongoing scientific activities in the areas of research, training and education, data and information collection, climate modeling, and workshops. Thirty-nine projects received funding under the ISP, with durations of up to three years. The ISP projects were administered by the IAI Executive Directorate: ISP 1 (1996 \u2013 1999)<\/strong><\/a>, ISP 2 (1997 \u2013 2000)<\/strong><\/a> and ISP 3 (1998 \u2013 2004)<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Program to Expand Scientific Capacity in the Americas (PESCA)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The objective of the Program to Expand Scientific Capacities in the Americas (PESCA) 2000-2003<\/strong><\/a> was to enable scientists from member countries with little participation in IAI activities and projects to integrate into projects funded under ISP 3 and CRN 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Start-Up Grants Program<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Institute’s first program was the Start-Up Grants (SUG) Program 1996-1997<\/strong><\/a>, which provided one year of funding exclusively for planning activities. It was specifically designed to allow researchers to meet and develop proposals for the CRN Program. The SUG, which consisted of 36 projects, was administered by the U.S. National Science Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
