Advances in science come from the collective and linked efforts of thousands of researchers working within and across disciplines. This project creates rigorous models of the composition, dynamics, and network structure of the United States' scientific workforce across heterogeneous independent institutions with different strengths and emphases. The systematic influence of these institutional and individual characteristics on scientific advances across disciplines is investigated. The results of this project will generate new insights into the composition of the scientific workforce and scientific productivity across fields. In addition, this project trains new graduate and undergraduate students in cutting-edge computational and statistical research techniques, and will develop and disseminate new large-scale open data sets on the composition of the United States' scientific workforce and provide new software for collecting structured data automatically from open unstructured sources.This project uses state-of-the-art computational and statistical techniques from network science, machine learning, and social modeling to create a new technology platform for automatically and systematically collecting high-quality structured data on the composition, dynamics, and output of the scientific workforce. These data will be combined with social survey results of individual researchers and with rigorous network methods to model the relationship between workforce composition, productivity, and observable differences at the individual and institutional levels within and between scientific fields. Mathematical models of the short- and long-term evolution of workforce in order to evaluate the likely outcomes of certain types of interventions and policies are developed.

科学的进步来自于数千名在学科内部和跨学科工作的研究人员的集体和联系的努力。该项目创建了美国科学劳动力的组成，动态和网络结构的严格模型，这些科学劳动力跨越具有不同优势和重点的异构独立机构。 这些机构和个人的特点对跨学科的科学进步的系统影响进行了调查。该项目的结果将产生对科学劳动力组成和跨领域科学生产力的新见解。此外，该项目还培训新的研究生和本科生掌握最先进的计算和统计研究技术，并将开发和传播关于美国科学工作者组成的新的大规模开放数据集，并提供新的软件，用于从开放的非结构化来源自动收集结构化数据。机器学习和社会建模，以创建一个新的技术平台，用于自动和系统地收集有关科学劳动力的组成，动态和输出的高质量结构化数据。 这些数据将与个人研究人员的社会调查结果和严格的网络方法相结合，以模拟劳动力组成，生产力和科学领域内和科学领域之间的个人和机构层面的可观察差异之间的关系。为了评估某些类型的干预措施和政策的可能结果，劳动力的短期和长期演变的数学模型的开发。
