Inter-American Institute for Climate Change Research
Call for Proposals
2nd IAI Small Grant Program (SGP II)
The IAI is very pleased to announce the 2nd IAI Small Grant Program
(IAI-SGPII). This new program was approved by the 10th IAI Conference
of the Parties (CoP), the policy making body of the institute at their
last meeting in Boulder, Colorado (USA), June 2003.
The program is intended to support research/capacity building/planning
activities that will facilitate the development of larger Science
Programs and Research Networks similar to the IAI Collaborative Research
Network Program in the near-term. It also provides the opportunity of
assembling scientists and decision makers into activities aiming at the
integration of scientific knowledge to be applied in the decision making
processes of global environmental problems of regional relevance.
Proposals will be accepted in three categories, i.e. Research, Workshop
and Technical Report under all themes of the revised IAI Science
Agenda (please look at the IAI website for the IAI Science Agenda;
http://www.iai.int, item "IAI Science - Science Agenda").
We are convinced that despite being a program modestly funded (max.
US$30K/project), SGPII will be a catalytic mechanism promoting the
development of new collaborative activities among institutions of the
Americas, as well as providing ways to disseminate useful knowledge for
our societies. Proposals must be collaborative efforts with Principal
Investigators (PIs) and Co-Principal Investigators (Co-PIs) representing
institutions from at least three IAI member countries.
To be eligible under this Call for Proposals, proposals must arrive at
the IAI Directorate no later than midnight (24:00) - Sao Paulo (Brazil)
time - on Monday, 18 August 2003. Proposals must be submitted
electronically (2-page Coversheet also by Fax). A description of the
announcement and detailed guidelines for proposal preparation and
submission are available at the IAI website (http://www.iai.int, item
"Whats New").
We look forward to your participation in this new IAI activity. If you
have any questions regarding IAI SGPII, please feel free to contact Dr.
Gerhard Breulmann - IAI Scientific Officer - at the IAI Directorate. He
might be reached by phone (55-12-3945.6865), fax (55-12-3941.4410) or
e-mail (gerhard@dir.iai.int).

Science News
The U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Program has outlined a set of major
scientific goals, several of which directly relate to improving
understanding of the mechanisms and magnitude of ocean contributions
to the global carbon cycle. At the request of the Carbon Cycle
Interagency Working Group and their Science Steering Group, an
interim Implementation Working Group was assembled in August, 2002,
to draft a research plan to guide U.S. ocean carbon research over the
next decade. The plan builds upon a series of planning workshops and
reports held over the last several years. Community input on the
document is requested and will be incorporated into the final version
of the plan to be
released sometime this autumn. The plan is available electronically
http://www.carboncyclescience.gov/ccsp-oceans-implementation2may2003.htm
Please send e-mail comments and feedback directly to the Chair of the
implementation writing team (Scott Doney; sdoney@whoi.edu) by
Thursday, July 24th.
