Fostering Successful Innovative Large-Scale, Distributed Science and Engineering Projects through Integrated Collaboration

大规模、创新的科学和工程需要跨地域、多学科团队的协作；然而，对于项目来说，要维持智力上的凝聚力、紧密的协调，以及管理可伸缩的虚拟的集成是非常困难的。分配的工作。这个项目的目标是帮助团队取得成功——最大限度地提高效率、有效性和创新性。该提案旨在培养中心、研究所、实验室和其他合作机构的领导者规划和追求变革性研究议程的能力，以便在智能和互联健康、网络物理系统、智慧城市、网络安全、大数据、环境可持续性以及跨基础研究领域实现真正的突破。将提供设计和管理这种合作的培训，并开发工具和技术。这项工作将从组织科学中吸取经验教训，开发定制的课程，以帮助大规模的科学和工程团队有效地和高效地在这种规模上合作。使用开发的材料，针对对大型计算机和信息科学与工程（CISE）相关项目感兴趣的潜在主要研究者的一系列研讨会的第一次将于2016年春季进行。

Large-scale, innovative science and engineering requires collaboration across geographically-distributed, multidisciplinary teams; however, it is very difficult for projects to maintain intellectual cohesion, tight coordination, and integration necessary to manage scalable ?virtual? work that is distributed.The goal of this project is to help teams to succeed - maximizing efficiency, effectiveness, and innovativeness. This proposal is to develop the capacity for leaders of Centers, Institutes, Labs and other collaborations to plan and pursue transformative research agendas in order to truly create breakthroughs in smart and connected health, cyberphysical systems, smart cities, cybersecurity, big data, environmental sustainability, and across the domains of basic research. Training in design and management of such collaborations will be provided and tools and techniques will be developed. This work will draw on lessons learned from organization science to develop a customized curriculum to help large-scale science and engineering teams effectively and efficiently collaborate at this scale. Using the developed materials, the first of a series of workshops targeting potential principle investigators interested in large-scale Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE)-related projects will be conducted in the spring of 2016.
