This project will include a series of events to gather research community input on the NSF Big Idea: Future of Work at the Human-Technology Frontier (FW-HTF), focusing specifically on the needs and objectives of the NSF Convergence Accelerator program. The overarching goal is to help refine one or more FW-HTF use-inspired research topics that could be appropriate for a future NSF Convergence Accelerator funding track. Participants in this event series will come from large research universities, emerging research institutions, companies, government agencies, and others interested in partnering to advance FW-HTF and NSF Convergence Accelerator initiatives. Together, the participants will attempt to identify:- Research topics that are of greatest interest to the private and are most likely to be fruitful for the NSF Convergence Accelerator use-inspired model of support. - Methods that the Convergence Accelerator program can adapt to expand and enhance academic-corporate collaborations- Strategies for the NSF Convergence Accelerator program to help catalyze the application and transition to practice of research results.This FW-HTF event series began with a kick-off event organized by UIDP at an international workshop in Oxford, UK (July 2019) where academic, corporate, and government decision-makers convened to identify goals for heightened academic-corporate engagement. During the Fall of 2019 UIDP will organize a series of six "Listening Sessions" at locations across the United States where researchers and practitioners from the private sector as well as other stakeholders will convene and share their perspectives. These events will be organized in conjunction with academic and corporate sponsors, event hosts, and technical experts, as well as the input of NSF. The event series will conclude with a conference in Massachusetts in November 2019. The outcome of this series will be a set of actionable recommendations for the NSF Convergence Accelerator program and the organizations represented at the events focused on use-inspired FW-HTF topics that will provide mutual benefit and interest for collaboration between academics, practitioners from the private sector, and other stakeholders.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.

该项目将包括一系列活动，以收集研究社区对NSF大创意的投入：人类技术前沿（FW-HTF）的未来工作，特别关注NSF融合加速器计划的需求和目标。总体目标是帮助完善一个或多个FW-HTF使用启发的研究主题，这些主题可能适合未来的NSF融合加速器资助轨道。该活动系列的参与者将来自大型研究型大学、新兴研究机构、公司、政府机构以及其他有兴趣合作推进FW-HTF和NSF融合加速器计划的机构。与会者将共同努力确定：-私人最感兴趣的研究主题，并且最有可能为NSF融合加速器使用启发的支持模式取得成果。- 融合加速器计划可以适应扩大和加强学术-企业合作的方法-NSF融合加速器计划的战略，以帮助促进研究成果的应用和转化为实践。FW-HTF系列活动始于UIDP在英国牛津举办的国际研讨会上组织的启动活动。（2019年7月），学术，企业和政府决策者召开会议，以确定加强学术企业参与的目标。在2019年秋季期间，UIDP将在美国各地组织一系列六场“倾听会议”，来自私营部门的研究人员和从业人员以及其他利益相关者将召集并分享他们的观点。这些活动将与学术和企业赞助商，活动主办方和技术专家以及NSF的投入一起组织。该系列活动将于2019年11月在马萨诸塞州举行会议。该系列的成果将是一套可操作的建议，为NSF融合加速器计划和代表组织的活动集中在使用启发FW-HTF主题，将提供互利和利益之间的合作学者，从业者从私营部门，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识产权进行评估来支持。优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
