The following mega-project, which is in support of the NEESPI Science Plan, has been launched under the auspices of the Siberian Branch of
The Russian National Committee for IGBP in September 2006 for up to the next 3 years.
Siberia Integrated Regional Study (SIRS)
Categories: IntegrativeAmong Projects integrated into SIRS are those funded by the Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences as Integrated Interdisciplinary Projects for 2006-2008, and Basic Research Projects for 2007-2009 (due to a specifics of the RAS funding mechanism each large Project is undergoing a thorough review each year in order to secure continuous support) as well as Cooperative International Projects funded by several foreign Agencies and International Programs
