Smart and Connected Health (SCH) PI and Aspiring PI Meeting, 2015

该提案支持2015年7月在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行的NSF智能互联健康(SCH)首席调查员会议和有抱负的调查员研讨会。这次会议汇集了2011至2014年智能互联健康计划授予的项目的主要研究人员。设立SCH方案的目的是弥合基础科学和工程学方面的差距，以便根据《联合国千年发展目标》和最近的PCAST报告(2010年)转变卫生和医疗保健，并将重点放在预防和以人为本的护理上。特别是，该研讨会通过计算机科学、工程以及社会、行为和经济学科的基础研究，解决了在促进健康方面的更广泛的挑战。讲习班的一个目的是为首席研究人员提供一个机会，探讨各种资助项目的研究进展情况，并讨论当前的重要问题以及与跨学科科学领域研究相关的未来挑战。讨论将得到与项目有关的海报的支持，并进一步受到相关领域一些受邀演讲者的鼓励，他们将探讨将研究成果从发现转化为传播和实施研究的科学框架。预计此次会议将促进讨论、联系和合作，促进智能互联健康领域的进展。此外，首席调查员会议还附带了一个为期一天的有抱负的调查员研讨会，通过为希望在智能互联卫生领域开展工作的新一批调查人员提供指导和支持，应该可以扩大这一领域。研讨会应该对参与者和智能互联健康计划(SCH)的未来产生重大影响。研讨会的重点是共享资源和评估基础研究中的健康影响。讲习班的成果可能包括将通过出版物和讲习班网站向研究界宣传的新的研究方向。成果的发布应该让正在发展中的智能互联健康研究社区在其跨学科合作、教育活动中获得信息，并鼓励其他创新的研究方向。研讨会的更广泛影响是促进实地进展，并促进对话、联系和合作，从而为尽可能广泛的用户群体带来更知情、更有效的智能和互联健康研究和由此产生的技术。

This proposal supports the NSF Smart and Connected Health (SCH) Principal Investigators Meeting and Aspiring Investigator Workshop in Arlington, VA in July 2015. The meeting brings together principal investigators of projects awarded by the Smart and Connected Health program from 2011 to 2014. The SCH program was set up in order to bridge gaps in fundamental science and engineering necessary to transform health and healthcare in accordance with the with recent PCAST reports (2010), as well as to be focused on prevention and person-centered care. In particular, the workshop addresses a wider range of challenges in advancing health with foundational research from the computer science, engineering and the social, behavioral and economic disciplines. An objective of the workshop is to provide an opportunity for the principal investigators to explore research progress in a diverse set of funded projects and discuss important current issues, as well as future challenges associated with research in transdisciplinary scientific areas. The discussions will be supported by projects-related posters and further stimulated by a number of invited speakers in relevant fields that will explore the scientific frameworks in moving findings from discovery to dissemination and implementation research. It is anticipated that the meeting will stimulate discussions, connections, and collaborations that will facilitate progress in the area of Smart and Connected Health. Additionally, there is a one-day Aspiring Investigator workshop attached to the Principal Investigator meeting, that should grow the field by providing mentorship and support for a new cadre of investigators looking to do work in the Smart and Connected Health area. The workshop should have a significant impact on the participants and the future of the Smart and Connected Health program (SCH). The focus of the workshop is on shared resources and assessing health impact in foundational research. The workshop results are likely to include new research directions that will be publicized to the research community through publications and a workshop website. The results dissemination should inform and the developing Smart and Connected Health research community in their transdisciplinary collaboration, educational activities, and spur other innovative research directions. The broader impacts of the workshop are to facilitate progress in the field and stimulate conversations, connections, and collaborations that will lead toward better informed and effective smart and connected health research and resulting technologies for the broadest possible user populations.
