Computing Innovation Fellows Project

标题：计算创新研究员项目摘要目标：我们提出一个NSF计算创新研究员项目，使新的计算博士能够在学术机构和工业研究组织获得一到两年的职位。该项目将防止研究人才的永久性流失，如果新的博士由于最近的预算危机带来的大幅削减而被迫在该领域之外寻找工作的话。它还将允许新博士积累经验，使他们成为更有效的研究人员和/或教师。两年后，计算机科学本科生和研究生招生人数的增加，可能会在大学计算机科学及相关系产生被压抑的招聘需求。随着经济的改善和预算的调整，这些系将努力满足对增加教员的需求。计算研究协会将通过其计算社区联盟实施该项目并监督其管理。CRA和CCC将共同跟踪其更广泛的影响，并将其结果传播给社区。智力上的优点：作为一个国家，我们在这些博士的培训上投入了时间、精力和资金。现在，我们比以往任何时候都更需要找到方法来实现这项投资的回报。NSF计算创新研究员(CIF)项目将使这一回报成为可能，并使新博士有可能从事高级研究和教学事业。项目？S的目标是创建一支新的研究人员队伍，通过社区程序积极平衡个人发展、多样性和机构进步这三个经常相互竞争的目标。由于这些多样化的目标，CIF可能不仅提供了一种拯救人才的方式，而且还可以实质性地改善计算研究和教育领域。广泛的影响：CIF解决了国家科学基金会更广泛的影响目标。这些学者将继续留在研究岗位上，使他们能够在推进该领域的同时获得进一步培训和学习的机会。遴选过程将积极征求妇女和任职人数不足的群体的申请；它还将从不同机构中物色学者候选人。因此，我们设想，范围广泛的主办机构将加强其研究小组和实验室，从而改善国家基础设施和研究队伍。

Title: The Computing Innovation Fellows ProjectAbstractObjective: We propose an NSF Computing Innovation Fellows Project to enable new computing PhDs to obtain one-to-two year positions at academic institutions and industrial research organizations. This project will forestall a permanent loss of research talent likely to occur if new PhDs are forced to seek employment outside of the field due to the sharp cuts brought about by the recent budget crisis. It will also allow new PhDs to develop experience to make them more effective researchers and/or teachers. In two years, increasing enrollments in both undergraduate and graduate computer science programs may create pent-up demand for hiring at university computer science and related departments. As the economy improves and budget adjustments are made, these departments will try to satisfy this demand for additional faculty. The Computing Research Association, through its Computing Community Consortium, will carry out the project and oversee its management. Together CRA and CCC will track its broader impacts and disseminate its outcomes to the community.Intellectual Merit: As a nation, we have invested time, energy, and funding in the training of these PhDs. Now, more than ever, we need to find ways to realize a payoff for that investment. The NSF Computing Innovation Fellows (CIF) project will enable this payoff and make it possible for new PhDs to embark on advanced research and teaching careers. The project?s goal is to create a new cadre of researchers, selected by a community process that aggressively balances the often-competing goals of personal development, diversity, and institutional advancement. Because of these diversity goals, CIF may provide a way not only to rescue talent, but also to materially improve the field of computing research and education.Broader Impact: CIF addresses the Broader Impact goals of the National Science Foundation. The scholars will remain in research positions, enabling them to advance the field while simultaneously gaining an opportunity for further training and learning. The selection process will actively seek applications from women and underrepresented groups; it also will identify scholar candidates from a cross-section of institutions. As a result, we envision that a broad range of host institutions will strengthen their research groups and labs, thereby improving the national infrastructure and research workforce.
