Smart and Connected Health (SCH) PI Workshop, 2017

该提案支持2017年3月2日至22日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的NSF智能和互联健康（SCH）首席研究员会议和愿景研讨会。会议汇集了2011年至2016年智能和互联健康计划授予项目的首席研究员（PI）。设立社会科学教育方案是为了弥补在基础科学方面的差距，以改变健康和保健，并注重预防和以人为本的护理。特别是，设想讲习班旨在通过计算机科学、工程以及社会、行为和经济学科的基础研究，解决促进健康方面的下一代挑战。PI研讨会的目标是为主要研究人员提供一个机会，探讨不同资助项目的研究进展，讨论重要的当前问题，以及与跨学科科学领域研究相关的未来挑战。讨论将以与项目有关的海报为辅助，并由远景工作坊的相声进一步刺激。预计会议将促进讨论、联系和合作，从而促进智能和互联卫生领域的进展。研讨会将对参与者和智能互联健康计划（SCH）的未来产生重大影响。研讨会的重点是支持互联社区中智能健康发展的基础研究。讲习班的成果很可能包括新的研究方向，并将通过出版物和讲习班网站向研究界公布。研究结果的传播应该为发展中的智能和互联健康研究界提供跨学科合作、教育活动的信息，并刺激其他创新研究方向。讲习班的更广泛影响是促进该领域的进展，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明智、更有效的智能和互联卫生研究和由此产生的技术。此外，在首席研究员会议上还有一个研讨会，该研讨会将支持10名来自代表性不足的STEM学科的学生参加PI研讨会。通过为希望在智能和互联健康领域开展工作的新调查骨干提供指导和支持，这也应该有助于该领域的发展。

This proposal supports the NSF Smart and Connected Health (SCH) Principal Investigators Meeting and Visioning Workshop in Boston, MA on March 2-22, 2017. The meeting brings together principal investigators (PI) of projects awarded by the Smart and Connected Health program from 2011 to 2016. The SCH program was set up in order to bridge gaps in fundamental science necessary to transform health and healthcare, as well as to be focused on prevention and person-centered care. In particular, the Visioning Workshop is designed to address the next generation of challenges in advancing health with foundational research from the computer science, engineering and the social, behavioral and economic disciplines. An objective of the PI 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 cross-talk from the Visioning Workshop. It is anticipated that the meeting will stimulate discussions, connections, and collaborations that will facilitate progress in the area of Smart and Connected Health. 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 foundational research that supports the growth of smart health within connected communities. 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. Additionally, there is a workshop attached to the Principal Investigator meeting that will support the travel for ten students from under-represented STEM disciplines to attend the PI Workshop. This should also help 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.
