As a part of a White House sponsored "Data to Knowledge to Action" event held in November 2013, dozens of public and private organizations met to announce an array of Big Data related collaborations. To sustain the forward momentum of the Data2Action event, the National Science Foundation has been working to establish a national network of "Big Data Regional Innovation Hubs." These hubs will stimulate, track, and help sustain new regional and grassroots partnerships around Big Data. This series of 5 workshops will support four Big Data Regional Innovation Hubs centered in the Northeast, West, Midwest, and South regions the United States. These hubs will help Big Data stakeholders from different sectors (e.g. industry, academia, non-profits, local government) partner around collaborative projects that will further Big Data innovation in their geographic region. The Hubs could take on activities including but not limited to accelerating development of Big Data solutions, forging collaborations across sectors, help share best practices, speed up technology transfer, instigate dialogue between thought leaders on social impacts of Big Data, and supporting the education and training of the Big Data workforce. The first four events will provide a space for stakeholders to exchange ideas, discuss potential projects, and devise a set of actionable goals within their region. The final summary event will bring together members of each of the four regions together to synthesize their conclusions and develop action items, as well as discuss cross regional-collaboration. As a part of this workshop series, a virtual community platform will be established so that interested stakeholders that are not able to attend the live events can connect and collaborated with other interested parties in their region; this platform will be made available and open to users for one year. The primary outcome of this meeting will be a consensus on the design and governance of each regional Hub by major Big Data stakeholders in the region and plan of action for implementing the Hub. A summary of this information will be made available in written form by workshop organizers; supplemental information will be available on the virtual platform and supplied by workshop participants.

作为2013年11月白宫赞助的“从数据到知识到行动”活动的一部分，数十家公共和私人组织会面，宣布了一系列与大数据相关的合作。为了保持Data2Action活动的前进势头，美国国家科学基金会一直致力于建立一个全国性的“大数据区域创新中心”网络。这些中心将刺激、跟踪并帮助维持围绕大数据的新的区域和基层伙伴关系。这一系列的5个研讨会将支持四个大数据区域创新中心，分别位于美国东北部、西部、中西部和南部地区。这些中心将帮助来自不同领域（如工业、学术界、非营利组织、地方政府）的大数据利益相关者围绕协作项目建立伙伴关系，从而进一步推动其所在地区的大数据创新。这些中心可以开展的活动包括但不限于加速大数据解决方案的开发，促进跨部门合作，帮助分享最佳实践，加快技术转让，鼓励思想领袖就大数据的社会影响进行对话，以及支持大数据劳动力的教育和培训。前四场活动将为利益相关者提供一个交流思想、讨论潜在项目并在本地区制定一套可行目标的空间。最后的总结活动将把四个区域的成员聚集在一起，综合他们的结论，制定行动项目，并讨论跨区域合作。作为该系列研讨会的一部分，将建立一个虚拟社区平台，以便无法参加现场活动的感兴趣的利益相关者可以与他们所在地区的其他感兴趣的各方联系和合作；该平台将向用户开放一年。本次会议的主要成果将是该地区主要大数据利益相关者就每个区域中心的设计和治理达成共识，并制定实施该中心的行动计划。讲习班组织者将以书面形式提供这些资料的摘要；补充信息将在虚拟平台上提供，并由讲习班参与者提供。
