This award funds the 2020 NSF CISE-SBE Workshop on Harnessing the Computational and Social Sciences to Solve Critical Societal Problems. This invitation-only three-day meeting will be to be jointly convened by the National Science Foundation Directorates for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) and Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE). It is increasingly apparent that many of the systems on which our society depends for its health, prosperity, and security are neither purely social nor purely technical ones. Rather, they are socio-technical systems. For example workplace relationships, media markets, health delivery systems, and criminal justice organizations are all increasingly characterized by a complex mixture of human actors and institutions on the one hand, and digital platforms and algorithms on the other hand. Efforts to design, manage, audit, and ultimately improve these systems to the benefit of society therefore lie at the intersection of the computational sciences and the social-behavioral sciences. This workshop will bring together experts from nationally recognized institutions comprising a diverse range of stakeholders and perspectives drawn from academia, industry, government, and philanthropy to discuss three core themes at the intersection of the computational and social-behavioral sciences. This intersection has been an area of increasing research interest and innovation in recent years, generating new conferences, funding opportunities, and jobs, both in academia and industry. In order to generate practical solutions to real-world socio-technical problems, however, a number of challenges must be overcome that will require new streams of funding and also new models of collaboration, between the computational and social-behavioral sciences, and also among academia, government and industry. The workshop is organized around three core substantive themes, each of which corresponds to a contemporary societal concern of widespread interest: increasing opportunity for all Americans, while reducing harmful disparities; improving the trustworthiness of the information ecosystem; and empowering the skilled technical workforceIn addition to sketching out a research agenda for each of these substantive areas, the workshop would also focus attention on four cross-cutting challenges: building large-scale, shared data infrastructures for research purposes; partnering with industry around problems of shared interest; fostering collaborations between CISE and SBE researcher; and developing training and educational programs.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.

该奖项资助2020年NSF CISE-SBE利用计算和社会科学解决关键社会问题研讨会。本次为期三天的会议将由国家科学基金计算机与信息科学与工程理事会（CISE）和社会、行为与经济科学理事会（SBE）联合召开。越来越明显的是，我们社会的健康、繁荣和安全所依赖的许多系统既不是纯粹的社会系统，也不是纯粹的技术系统。相反，它们是社会技术系统。例如，工作场所关系、媒体市场、医疗服务系统和刑事司法组织的特点都越来越多，一方面是人类行为者和机构的复杂组合，另一方面是数字平台和算法。因此，设计、管理、审计并最终改进这些系统以造福社会的努力处于计算科学和社会行为科学的交叉点。本次研讨会将汇集来自国家认可机构的专家，包括来自学术界、工业界、政府和慈善机构的各种利益相关者和观点，讨论计算科学和社会行为科学交叉的三个核心主题。近年来，这一交叉领域的研究兴趣和创新不断增加，在学术界和工业界都产生了新的会议、资助机会和就业机会。然而，为了对现实世界的社会技术问题产生切实可行的解决方案，必须克服许多挑战，这将需要新的资金流和新的合作模式，在计算科学和社会行为科学之间，以及学术界、政府和工业界之间。讲习班围绕三个核心实质性主题组织，每一个主题都对应于一个广泛关注的当代社会问题：增加所有美国人的机会，同时减少有害的差距；提高信息生态系统的可信度；除了为每一个实质性领域草拟研究议程外，讲习班还将重点关注四个跨领域挑战：为研究目的建立大规模共享数据基础设施；围绕共同关心的问题与业界合作；促进CISE和SBE研究人员之间的合作；发展培训和教育项目。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。
