Support for Core Research Activities and Studies of the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board

这个计算机和信息科学与工程（CISE）理事会特别项目支持国家科学院计算机科学和电信委员会（CSTB）未来3年的部分核心业务。它还资助了CSTB对计算机科学领域出现的问题和技术的三项研究。CSTB提供客观，无党派，学术分析，融合计算机科学，电气工程，电信和信息技术（IT）的各种应用和影响的专业知识。CSTB的工作被广泛和不断增长的机构、官员和该领域的专家所了解和使用。CSTB已被视为IT趋势、IT政策及其对更广泛公共政策影响的权威来源。CSTB向研究、教育和决策界的关键决策者和从业人员提供报告和简报。它的研究小组吸引了大量的妇女，少数民族和来自全国各地的人。核心支助使其能够规划、监督和跟踪项目，并在制定新活动时具有前瞻性思维和主动性。该项目为研究人员，教育工作者和研究资助机构提供了关于研究和教育需求，计算和通信趋势和问题及其对更广泛的公共政策的影响的战略思维来源。 通过其成员的国家领导人和行业，CSTB从事来自CISE研究和技术社区的专家在混合协作组，开发想法，解释，评估和建议，反映不同的观点和严格的同行评审。 CSTB的研究报告代表了专家委员会的共识，并利用了对计算和通信技术的深刻见解，包括未来的发展方向和其他相关领域的见解。 CSTB是让研究界参与制定新的研究议程和提高政策辩论水平的协调中心。 核心支持使CSTB能够计划，监督和跟进项目和研究，并继续在对国家至关重要的领域提供战略领导。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。

This Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Directorate special project supports part of the core operations of the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board (CSTB) of the National Academy of Sciences for the next 3 years. It also funds three CSTB studies of issues and technologies emerging in the field of computer science. The CSTB provides objective, nonpartisan, scholarly analysis, blending expertise in computer science, electrical engineering, telecommunications, and various applications and impacts of information technology (IT). CSTB's work is known and used by a wide and growing circle of agencies, officials, and experts in the field. CSTB has come to be seen as an authoritative source on IT trends, IT policies, and their implications for broader public policy. CSTB delivers its reports and provides briefings to key decision-makers and practitioners in the research, education, and policy-making communities. Its study groups engage significant numbers of women, minorities, and people from across the country. Core support enables it to plan for, oversee, and follow up on projects and to be forward-thinking and proactive in formulating new activities. This project provides a source of strategic thinking for researchers, educators, and research funding agencies on research and education needs, computing and communications trends and issues, and their implications for broader public policy. Through its membership of national leaders and industry, CSTB engages experts from CISE research and technical communities in mixed collaborative groups, developing ideas, explanations, assessments, and recommendations reflecting diverse points of view and rigorous peer review. The CSTB studies produce reports that represent the consensus views of an expert committee and leverage deep insights into computing and communications technologies, including future directions and insights from other related fields. CSTB is a focal point for engaging the research community in the development of new research agendas and in raising the level of policy debate. Core support enables the CSTB to plan, oversee, and follow up on projects and studies and to continue to provide strategic leadership in an area of critical importance to the nation.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.
