NSF Expeditions in Computing PI Meeting

PI会议将展示美国国家科学基金会（NSF）在计算项目中的探险项目，并为探险项目的PI和项目主管提供一个相互交流、与美国国家科学基金会（NSF）和行业嘉宾互动的机会。会议将持续三天，包括对现有探险项目的概述，大型项目管理主题的小组讨论，外展，以及其他NSF项目的机会。日程安排将包括充足的一对一互动时间，包括最后一天的海报会议。此外，会议将与CISE咨询委员会会议同时举行，让委员会成员有机会进一步了解CISE的旗舰项目，与研究团队互动，并对展示的研究项目或考察项目提供反馈和建议。本次会议将突出考察计划的三个目标：催化深远的研究探索，这些探索是由计算和信息领域的深刻科学问题或难题驱动的，和/或通过承诺显著社会效益的引人注目的应用；激励当代和未来几代美国人，特别是那些来自弱势群体的美国人，在计算机和信息科学与工程领域追求有回报的职业；通过有效的知识转移机制，激发重大的研究和教育成果，从而带来科学、经济和/或其他社会效益。这是第一次探险项目负责人会议，也将为国家科学基金会提供关于探险项目成功的直接反馈，以及对项目未来的建议。更广泛的影响本次会议将为来自不同学科的研究人员提供机会，让他们相互交流，学习指导和管理大型基础研究项目的新模式。会议还将成为与潜在的行业合作伙伴就技术转型进行联系的场所。讨论的一个关键方面将是概述每个团队的外展活动，以及与个人努力相比，大型协调外展和教育工作的好处和挑战。此外，团队将被鼓励带学生参加会议，参加演讲和讨论。

The PI meeting will showcase the NSF Expeditions in Computing program and provide an opportunity for Expeditions PIs and program directors to interact with each other, the NSF, and industry guests. The meeting will last three days and include an overview of existing Expeditions projects, panels on topics of large project management, outreach, and opportunities in additional NSF programs. The schedule will include ample time for one-on-one interactions including a poster session on the final day. In addition, the meeting will coincide with the CISE advisory board meeting to give the board members a chance to learn more about CISE's flagship program, interact with the research teams, and provide feedback and suggestions to the showcased research projects or the expedition program in general.Intellectual MeritThis meeting will highlight the three goals of the Expeditions program: to catalyze far-reaching research explorations motivated by deep scientific questions or hard problems in the computing and information fields, and/or by compelling applications that promise significant societal benefits; to inspire current and future generations of Americans, especially those from under-represented groups, to pursue rewarding careers in computer and information science and engineering; and to stimulate significant research and education outcomes that, through effective knowledge transfer mechanisms, promise scientific, economic and/or other societal benefits. This is the first Expeditions PI meeting and will also serve to provide direct feedback to the NSF on the success of the Expeditions program as well as suggestions for the future of the program. Broader ImpactThe meeting will provide opportunity for researchers from disparate disciplines to interact and learn new models for conducting and managing large basic research projects. The meeting will also serve as a venue for connecting with potential industry partners for technology transition. One key aspect of the discussions will be an overview of each team's outreach activities and the benefits and challenges of large, coordinated outreach and education efforts compared to individual efforts. In addition, teams will be encouraged to bring students to the meeting to participate in presentations and discussions.
