This project supports organization of, and travel grants to, the inaugural Smart and Connected Communities (S&CC) Program Aspiring Principal Investigator (PI) Workshop that will be held in Kansas City, MO in September 2018. The workshop will be co-located with the 4th IEEE International Smart Cities Conference (ISC2), the flagship conference sponsored by Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Smart Cities Technical Community, which is the coalition of multiple technical societies within the IEEE. The S&CC Aspiring PI workshop will assemble a group of aspiring PIs with diverse backgrounds across disciplines and sectors, ranging from economists and sociologists to computer scientists and engineers to city and community stakeholders. The workshop will place particular emphasis on exploring the integrative research and community engagement aspects of the S&CC program goals. The workshop will include talks and panels by National Science Foundation (NSF) Program Directors as well as the current program awardees. The agenda will also include a session for small group discussions among aspiring PIs and panelists for mentoring on research concepts. The workshop will aid early- and mid-career researchers in developing a research agenda that effectively advances science, while aiding communities in improving safety, security, economic prosperity, wellbeing, and quality of life. The workshop will foster the growth of the S&CC community by emphasizing recruitment and participation of early- and mid-career faculty and underrepresented minorities (URMs). Recipients of travel grants will be selected based upon the Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts of one to two-page position statements submitted in advance. The participation of early- and mid-career faculty and URMs will be strengthened by recruiting from multiple women in computing networks, Hispanic serving institutions, historically black colleges and universities, primarily undergraduate institutions, as well as city and community stakeholders interested in the S&CC program. The co-location of the S&CC Aspiring PI Workshop and IEEE ISC2 will have a strong synergistic impact. The conference will attract the interests of potential PIs and their collaborators. The workshop will also promote IEEE ISC2 to become an influential venue for current and future NSF S&CC PIs to disseminate their project results to an international audience. The outcomes of the workshop, including presentation materials and submission and acceptance information, will be shared following the workshop.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目支持将于2018年9月在密苏里州堪萨斯城举行的首届智能互联社区（S CC）计划有志首席研究员（PI）研讨会的组织和差旅赠款。该研讨会将与第四届IEEE国际智能城市会议（ISC 2）共同举办，这是由电气和电子工程师协会（IEEE）智能城市技术社区赞助的旗舰会议，该技术社区是IEEE内多个技术协会的联盟。S CC Aspiring PI研讨会将汇集一批具有不同学科和部门背景的有抱负的PI，从经济学家和社会学家到计算机科学家和工程师，再到城市和社区利益相关者。研讨会将特别强调探索的综合研究和社区参与方面的S CC计划的目标。研讨会将包括国家科学基金会（NSF）项目主任以及当前项目获奖者的会谈和小组讨论。议程还将包括一个会议，供有抱负的PI和小组成员进行小组讨论，指导研究概念。该研讨会将帮助早期和中期职业研究人员制定有效推进科学的研究议程，同时帮助社区改善安全，保障，经济繁荣，福祉和生活质量。该研讨会将通过强调早期和中期职业教师和代表性不足的少数民族（URMs）的招聘和参与来促进S CC社区的发展。将根据事先提交的一到两页的立场声明的智力优点和更广泛的影响来选择旅行赠款的接受者。早期和中期职业教师和URM的参与将通过从计算网络，西班牙裔服务机构，历史上的黑人学院和大学，主要是本科院校，以及对S CC计划感兴趣的城市和社区利益相关者中招募多名女性来加强。S CC Aspiring PI研讨会和IEEE ISC 2的共同地点将产生强大的协同影响。会议将吸引潜在的PI及其合作者的兴趣。该研讨会还将推动IEEE ISC 2成为当前和未来NSF S CC PI向国际受众传播其项目成果的有影响力的场所。研讨会的成果，包括演示材料和提交和接受信息，将在研讨会后分享。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
