Computing Innovation Fellows Project

职务名称：计算创新研究员项目摘要目的：我们提出了一个NSF计算创新研究员项目，使新的计算博士获得一到两年的学术机构和工业研究组织的职位。该项目将防止研究人才的永久性流失，如果新的博士生被迫在该领域以外的就业，由于最近的预算危机带来的急剧削减可能会发生。它还将允许新的博士发展经验，使他们更有效的研究人员和/或教师。在两年内，计算机科学专业本科和研究生入学人数的增加可能会导致大学计算机科学和相关部门的招聘需求被压抑。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。计算研究协会将通过其计算社区联盟执行该项目并监督其管理。共同CRA和CCC将跟踪其更广泛的影响，并传播其成果到社区。智力优点：作为一个国家，我们已经投入了时间，精力和资金在这些博士的培训。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。NSF计算创新研究员（CIF）项目将实现这一回报，并使新博士有可能从事高级研究和教学职业。项目？的目标是创建一个新的研究人员骨干，由一个社区的过程，积极平衡个人发展，多样性和机构发展的经常相互竞争的目标选择。由于这些多样性的目标，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的更广泛的影响目标。这些学者将继续担任研究职位，使他们能够推进该领域的发展，同时获得进一步培训和学习的机会。选拔过程将积极寻求妇女和代表性不足的群体的申请;它还将确定来自跨部门机构的学者候选人。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.
