The research enterprise requires a skilled research innovation workforce, consisting of highly trained and skilled practitioners in areas such as advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI), research software engineering, operations, and user support. A recent report from the National Science and Technology Council highlighted the need for this workforce. This project will conduct a series of virtual workshop sessions among a variety of affinity groups that includes academics and practioners to discuss and explore the problems and challenges affecting the growth and vitality of the research innovation workforce, and to discuss and identify potential strategies and solutions to help address these challenges. The workshop will be conducted entirely virtually with the aid of a skilled workshop facilitator. The outcomes of the proposed workshop will be a set of recommendations to the National Science Foundation related to CI professional workforce development; a better understanding of the challenges and problems affecting research innovation gleaned from discussions within and across affinity groups; and increased awareness of potentially cross-cutting strategies and solutions to encourage the growth and health of the national research innovation workforce.The workshop seeks to facilitate a discussion among the affinity groups who collectively participate in the research enterprise, specifically targeting issues related to building and enhancing the CI professional workforce (e.g. research software engineers, research data science professionals, advanced cyberinfrastructure systems professionals, etc.) with the goal of identifying problem areas, discussing and identifying potential solutions, and developing a set of recommendations for consideration by the national research community and the NSF. The workshop co-chairs and steering committee represent a broad group of stakeholders. The primary goal of the proposed workshop is to explore the challenges and potential strategies and solutions to address the need for an advanced CI research innovation workforce that is essential to advancing the frontiers of computational and data-intensive scientific research. The workshop will result in a report with recommendations for fostering growth and career paths for a diverse, inclusive, and emerging set of professionals that collaborates across traditional boundaries and enables research and education.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.

研究企业需要一支熟练的研究创新队伍，由高级网络基础设施(CI)、研究软件工程、运营和用户支持等领域的训练有素和熟练的从业人员组成。国家科学技术委员会最近的一份报告强调了对这一劳动力的需求。该项目将在包括学者和实践者在内的各种亲和力群体中举办一系列虚拟研讨会，讨论和探讨影响研究创新队伍的增长和活力的问题和挑战，并讨论和确定有助于应对这些挑战的潜在战略和解决方案。讲习班将完全在一名熟练的讲习班主持人的协助下进行。拟议研讨会的成果将是向国家科学基金会提出一系列与CI专业人员队伍发展有关的建议；更好地了解通过亲缘关系小组内部和之间的讨论收集的影响研究创新的挑战和问题；以及提高对潜在的交叉战略和解决方案的认识，以鼓励国家研究创新队伍的增长和健康。研讨会旨在促进共同参与研究企业的亲缘关系群体之间的讨论，特别是针对与建立和加强CI专业人员队伍(例如研究软件工程师、研究数据科学专业人员、高级网络基础设施系统专业人员等)有关的问题。目的是确定问题领域，讨论和确定可能的解决办法，并制定一套建议，供国家研究界和国家科学基金会审议。研讨会联合主席和指导委员会代表了广泛的利益攸关方群体。拟议讲习班的主要目标是探讨挑战和潜在的战略和解决方案，以满足对先进的传播与信息研究创新队伍的需求，这对于推进计算和数据密集型科学研究的前沿是至关重要的。研讨会将产生一份报告，提出促进多样化、包容性和新兴专业人员的成长和职业道路的建议，这些专业人员跨越传统边界进行合作，促进研究和教育。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
