This CISE special project award funds the core operations of the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board (CSTB) of the National Academy of Sciences. The CSTB provides objective, nonpartisan, scholarly analysis, blending expertise in computer science (CS), electrical engineering, telecommunications, and various applications and impacts of information technology (IT). It engages experts from the entire IT community in mixed collaborative groups, developing ideas, explanations, assessments, and recommendations reflecting diverse points of view and rigorous peer review. It is a focal point for engaging the research community in the development of new research agendas and in raising the level of policy debate. CSTB is a leader in information technology policy analysis, a source of strategic thinking for research funding agencies, and an exponent of how and why IT research should be done. Core support enables it to plan for, oversee, and follow up on projects and to be forward-thinking and proactive in formulating new activities. CSTB has an ambitious program of activities addressing the health of U.S. computer science, telecommunications, and their applications. It draws on the expertise and perspectives of a wide range of people from the public and private sectors with interests in the evolving nature and needs of research across computer science and telecommunications and the condition of the human resources and institutions responsible for producing IT. Projects leverage computer scientists? deep insights into what IT is, how it works, and where it is going together with insights from other fields such as biology, the social sciences, economics, and law. CSTB's work is known and used by a wide and growing circle of agencies, officials, and experts in the field; CSTB has come to be seen as an authoritative source on IT trends, IT policies, and their implications for broader public policy. CSTB delivers its reports and provides briefings to key decision-makers and practitioners in the research, education, and policy-making communities. Its study groups engage significant numbers of women, minorities, and people from across the country. Intellectual Merit: The results of studies and other activities enabled by this core support provide a source of strategic thinking for researchers, educator, and research funding agencies on IT trends and issues and their implications for broader public policy, including how and why IT research should be done. Much of this work also blends IT knowledge with insights from other fields such as biology, the social sciences, economics, and law to provide interdisciplinary perspectives on applications of IT and its social and economic impacts. Broader Impact: CSTB provides a forum for the exchange of information on CS, IT, and telecommunications and for the exploration of how economic, social, and legal trends may shape and be shaped by the environment for IT in the future. The result of studies and other activities enable by this core support provide independent, authoritative information to a wide array of federal agencies and officials, researchers and educators, and information technology experts. They engage members of the IT technical and research communities in the development of new research agendas and in informing policy debates related to information technology. Reports and briefings are provided to key decision-makers and practitioners in the research, education, and policy-making communities. Experts participating in CSTB activities learn about the relationship between their research and larger contexts, both within IT research and within the larger economy and society.

这个CISE特别项目奖资助国家科学院计算机科学和电信委员会（CSTB）的核心业务。CSTB提供客观，无党派，学术分析，融合计算机科学（CS），电气工程，电信和信息技术（IT）的各种应用和影响的专业知识。它让来自整个IT社区的专家参与混合协作组，提出想法，解释，评估和建议，反映不同的观点和严格的同行评审。它是促使研究界参与制定新的研究议程和提高政策辩论水平的一个协调中心。CSTB是信息技术政策分析的领导者，是研究资助机构战略思维的来源，也是如何以及为什么应该进行IT研究的指数。核心支助使其能够规划、监督和跟踪项目，并在制定新活动时具有前瞻性思维和主动性。CSTB有一个雄心勃勃的活动计划，旨在解决美国计算机科学、电信及其应用的健康问题。它借鉴了来自公共和私营部门的广泛人员的专业知识和观点，这些人员对计算机科学和电信研究的不断变化的性质和需求以及负责生产IT的人力资源和机构的状况感兴趣。深入了解IT是什么，它是如何工作的，以及它与生物学，社会科学，经济学和法律等其他领域的见解一起走向何方。 CSTB的工作被广泛和不断增长的机构，官员和该领域的专家所了解和使用; CSTB已被视为IT趋势，IT政策及其对更广泛公共政策的影响的权威来源。CSTB向研究、教育和决策界的关键决策者和从业人员提供报告和简报。它的研究小组吸引了大量的妇女，少数民族和来自全国各地的人。智力优势：研究和其他活动的结果，使这一核心支持提供了一个来源的战略思考的研究人员，教育工作者和研究资助机构对IT的趋势和问题及其对更广泛的公共政策的影响，包括如何和为什么IT研究应该这样做。这项工作的大部分还融合了IT知识与其他领域的见解，如生物学，社会科学，经济学和法律，以提供IT应用及其社会和经济影响的跨学科视角。更广泛的影响：CSTB为CS、IT和电信方面的信息交流提供了一个论坛，并为探讨经济、社会和法律的趋势如何塑造未来IT环境以及如何被IT环境塑造提供了一个论坛。通过这一核心支持，研究和其他活动的结果能够为广泛的联邦机构和官员、研究人员和教育工作者以及信息技术专家提供独立、权威的信息。它们使信息技术技术和研究界的成员参与制定新的研究议程，并为有关信息技术的政策辩论提供信息。向研究、教育和决策界的主要决策者和从业人员提供报告和简报。参加CSTB活动的专家了解他们的研究和更大的背景之间的关系，无论是在IT研究和更大的经济和社会。
