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

大规模的创新科学和工程需要跨地理分布的多学科团队的协作;然而，项目很难保持知识凝聚力，紧密协调和管理可扩展性所需的集成。虚拟？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，以真正在智能和互联健康，网络物理系统，智能城市，网络安全，大数据，环境可持续性以及基础研究领域取得突破。将提供设计和管理这种合作的培训，并开发工具和技术。这项工作将借鉴组织科学的经验教训，开发定制的课程，以帮助大规模的科学和工程团队在这种规模上有效和高效地合作。使用开发的材料，一系列研讨会中的第一个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原则调查员，将于2016年春季举行。

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.
