CMISS: DIMACS Project on CS/Math in Service to Society

DIMACS计算机科学/数学服务于社会的项目为计算机科学和相关数学和统计领域的研究人员和教育工作者以及他们在生物学，化学，物理学，工程学，公共卫生，商业和社会科学等领域的合作者提供了国家资源。 该项目加强和鼓励强调计算机科学，数学和统计学应用于涉及国土安全，能源，气候变化，医疗保健和经济等主题的社会问题的计划。 该项目还强调计算机科学和数学和统计学相关领域的基本方法的发展。 该奖项部分支持DIMACS中心实现项目目标所需的基础设施。该项目支持的基础设施所支持的研究计划围绕特别重点计划组织，包括研讨会，研究研讨会小组，教程和访问者计划，主题包括计算和数学流行病学;互联网的数学基础;近似的硬度;数学决策理论;网络安全;信息共享;医疗信息学中的计算问题;算法和能量;动态数据分析。 教育计划同样能够通过博士后活动，包括广泛的本科生研究经验，整合研究和教育水平;在全国各地的卫星位置为2年制和4年制大学教师运行的再培训计划，突出与课堂相关的最新研究课题;为初中和高中教师举办的全年研讨会计划;在生物科学和数学科学之间的接口模块材料的开发用于高中;高中课堂模块的开发有关计算思维和数据分析和国土安全;和生物数学的美国和非洲研究生高级研究机构的计划。

The DIMACS Project on Computer Science / Mathematics in Service to Society provides a national resource for a large community of researchers and educators in computer science and related mathematical and statistical areas as well as their collaborators in fields such as biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, public health, business, and the social sciences. The project enhances and encourages programs that emphasize applications of computer science, mathematics, and statistics to problems of society involving topics such as homeland security, energy, climate change, health care, and the economy. The project also emphasizes development of fundamental methods of computer science and related areas of mathematics and statistics. This award partially supports the DIMACS Center infrastructure required to achieve project goals.Research programs enabled by the infrastructure this project supports are organized around special focus programs consisting of workshops, research workshop groups, tutorials, and a visitor program, on topics including Computational and Mathematical Epidemiology; Algorithmic Foundations of the Internet; Hardness of Approximation; Algorithmic Decision Theory; Cybersecurity; Sharing Information; Computational Problems in Medical Informatics; Algorithms and Energy; and Dynamic Data Analysis. Educational programs similarly enabled integrate research and education across levels from precollege through postdoctoral via activities including an extensive Research Experiences for Undergraduates program; a Reconnect program run at satellite locations around the country for 2-year and 4-year college faculty highlighting recent research topics relevant to the classroom; a year-round program of workshops for middle and high school teachers; development of modular materials at the interface between the biological and mathematical sciences for use in high schools; development of high school classroom modules related to computational thinking and to data analysis and homeland security; and a program of advanced study institutes in bio-mathematics for US and African graduate students.
