Computing Innovation Fellows Project

摘要目的：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。如果新博士因最近的预算危机而被迫在其他领域就业，该项目将防止研究人才的永久流失。它还将允许新的博士积累经验，使他们成为更有效的研究人员和/或教师。在未来两年内，计算机科学本科和研究生课程的招生人数不断增加，可能会产生被压抑的大学计算机科学和相关部门的招聘需求。随着经济的改善和预算的调整，这些部门将努力满足对额外教师的需求。计算机研究协会将通过其计算机社区联盟执行该项目并监督其管理。CRA和CCC将共同跟踪其更广泛的影响，并向社区传播其成果。智力优势：作为一个国家，我们在培养这些博士方面投入了时间、精力和资金。现在，我们比以往任何时候都更需要找到实现投资回报的方法。美国国家科学基金会计算创新研究员（CIF）项目将实现这一回报，并使新的博士有可能从事先进的研究和教学事业。这个项目吗?S的目标是通过积极平衡个人发展、多样性和机构进步这三个经常相互竞争的目标的社区过程来选拔新的研究人员骨干。由于这些多样化的目标，CIF不仅可以提供一种拯救人才的方法，而且还可以实质性地改善计算研究和教育领域。更广泛的影响：CIF解决了国家科学基金会更广泛的影响目标。这些学者将继续担任研究职位，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。遴选过程将积极寻求妇女和代表性不足群体的申请；它还将从各个机构中确定学者候选人。因此，我们设想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人员队伍。

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.
