Research Framework Changes in Terrestrial Ecosystems & Biodiversity Changes in Atmospheric Composition Climate Change & Variability Changes in Coastal Zones & Inland Waters Integration of the findings of natural science with social and economic factors Input to policy making and implementation

  7. APN Goals • To support regional cooperation in global change research on issues particularly relevant to the region • To strengthen the interactions among scientists and policy makers, provide a scientific input to policy decision making and scientific knowledge to the public • To improve the scientific and technical capabilities of nations of the region • To facilitate the standardizations, collection, analysis and exchange of scientific data and information relating to global change research • To cooperate with other global change networks and organizations • To facilitate the development of research infrastructure and the transfer of know-how and technology

  8. Distribution of APN Funding APN Project Funds Identify Research Gaps (incl. synthesis & analysis of existing results) Develop Policy Products Capacity Building & Networking Planning & Scoping Workshops

  9. APN Annual Call for Proposals Call for Proposals around May each year Optional Pre-Proposal Stage (deadline: around June) Full Proposals (deadline: September) Proposal will be reviewed by a team of international scientists Average funding is US$ 30-40k per year Multi-year project (up to 3 years) is accepted Awarding begins in April each year

  10. Some Useful Tips for Submitting Proposals to APN Proposals need to be submitted by PI based in an APN member country Activities proposed must involve individuals or institutions in at least 3 APN member countries and at least 1 must be a ‘developing’ country Endorsement from APN national focal points and/or SPG member is very advantageous
