This project will create the Computing Community Consortium (CCC), a proxy organization for the computing research community. The CCC will support visioning activities designed to identify potential major opportunities, set priorities, and establish grand challenges for the computing field. These visioning activities will be based upon proposals by members of the computing research community as well as ideas generated by the CCC itself. The CCC will be a mechanism to promote continued innovation by enhancing the ability of the computing research community to pursue long-term, computing research goals. Innovations in information technology are responsible for the majority of the gains in economic productivity in the U.S. over the past decade. Underlying those innovations is prior decades of computing research investments, much of it funded by NSF and other government agencies. The CCC will work with the scientific community to formulate research programs to realize large-scale, shared research facilities that change the scope and nature of the field. The CCC will partner with NSF and other funding agencies to open up new sources of funding for initiatives with exceptional long term impacts, to a greater extent than current funding mechanisms permit. This effort will lay the foundation for new ways in which information technology will continue to improve the quality of life and standard of living for people in the U.S. and worldwide.

该项目将创建计算社区联盟（CCC），这是计算研究社区的代理组织。CCC将支持旨在确定潜在主要机会、设定优先事项和为计算领域确立重大挑战的远景活动。这些设想活动将以计算机研究界成员的建议以及计算机中心本身产生的想法为基础。计算机中心将是一个机制，通过提高计算机研究界追求长期计算研究目标的能力，促进持续创新。在过去的十年里，信息技术的创新是美国经济生产力增长的主要原因。这些创新的基础是之前几十年的计算机研究投资，其中大部分是由NSF和其他政府机构资助的。气候变化中心将与科学界合作制定研究计划，以实现大规模、共享的研究设施，从而改变该领域的范围和性质。CCC将与NSF和其他资助机构合作，为具有特殊长期影响的项目开辟新的资金来源，在目前的资助机制允许的范围内。这一努力将为信息技术继续提高美国和全世界人民的生活质量和生活水平的新途径奠定基础。
