ABSTRACTNSF-0540069Dawes, SharonOver the past decade, growing evidence demonstrates that "digital government" (DG) is developing as a global field of inquiry. Because of the relative newness of the DG field, there is insufficient interaction among researchers in different countries compared to what one finds in more established scientific disciplines. Most funded research around the world addresses DG challenges within the context of a single country; only a few investigations have compared results across national boundaries or tackled problems that are transnational in scope. The result of this situation is that comparative and transnational issues in DG, which are of growing importance in an increasingly networked world, are not receiving the attention they deserve. To address this gap, the team will plan, develop, and implement a four-year strategy to create opportunities and venues for international research discussions and to enable U.S. researchers and educators to advance their work through international collaboration. A small international advisory group will be named to help guide the work, connect to research sponsors in other countries, and periodically assess progress toward goals.The proposed activities will document the development and current state of digital government research and foster relationships and intellectual engagements that will enrich it as a domain of inquiry throughout the world. The results will contribute to innovative research questions and methods, identify gaps in current knowledge that could be the focus of future research, and constitute a useful guide to individual researchers who are interested in forming relationships with international investigators who share their interests. All of these effects create an arena where research problems amenable to international treatment can be identified and investigated. This set of activities would benefit the NSF research community as well as those in other countries by building and sustaining relationships among both researchers and research sponsors around the world in an effort to catalog, compare, and where possible build synergies among funding decisions about digital government research. This project will contribute directly to the ability of US researchers and graduate students to work successfully, and in a sustained way, in international settings. The proposed international summer institute will help to train future generations of digital government scientists.

在过去的十年里，越来越多的证据表明，“数字政府”(DG)正在发展成为一个全球性的研究领域。由于DG领域相对较新，与在更成熟的科学学科中所发现的相比，不同国家的研究人员之间的互动不足。世界上大多数受资助的研究都是在一个国家的范围内解决可持续发展的挑战；只有少数研究跨越国界比较结果或解决范围内的跨国问题。这种情况的结果是，在日益网络化的世界中日益重要的总干事中的比较性和跨国问题没有得到应有的重视。为了弥补这一差距，该团队将规划、开发和实施一项为期四年的战略，为国际研究讨论创造机会和场所，并使美国研究人员和教育工作者能够通过国际合作推进他们的工作。将任命一个小型国际咨询小组来帮助指导这项工作，联系其他国家的研究赞助商，并定期评估实现目标的进展情况。拟议的活动将记录数字政府研究的发展和现状，并促进关系和智力参与，使其成为世界各地的一个调查领域。这些结果将有助于提出创新的研究问题和方法，找出当前知识中可能成为未来研究重点的差距，并为有兴趣与具有共同兴趣的国际研究人员建立关系的个别研究人员提供有用的指南。所有这些影响创造了一个舞台，可以在这里识别和调查适合国际治疗的研究问题。这一系列活动将使NSF研究界以及其他国家的研究界受益，因为它将在世界各地的研究人员和研究赞助商之间建立和维持关系，努力编目、比较，并在可能的情况下建立关于数字政府研究的资助决策之间的协同效应。该项目将直接有助于美国研究人员和研究生在国际环境中以持续的方式成功工作的能力。拟议的国际暑期研究所将有助于培训未来几代数字政府科学家。
