The Toolbox Dialogue Initiative (TDI) team proposes to conduct research on convergence which will help Growing Convergence Research (GCR) and other convergence-focused programs crystallize unique features of different types of convergence and provide more guidance to future awardees. TDI team will work directly with GCR awardees through project-focused Toolbox workshops to help them realize their convergence cultures. They will also make the online resources curated by TDI available to all GCR awardees and more broadly to other individuals and teams conducting convergence research.The project will include theoretical research designed to relate convergence to integration and cross-disciplinarity, and empirical research to identify different ways in which convergence is operationalized across funded projects. This research will connect the convergence literature more closely with the literature on integration and cross-disciplinarity, and it will also assist those pursuing convergence research in GCR, other NSF programs, and beyond to be more explicit in designing and delivering convergence.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.

工具箱对话计划(TDI)团队建议开展关于融合的研究，这将有助于增长融合研究(GCR)和其他专注于融合的计划明确不同类型融合的独特特征，并为未来的获奖者提供更多指导。TDI团队将通过以项目为重点的工具箱研讨会直接与GCR获奖者合作，帮助他们实现融合文化。他们还将向所有GCR获奖者以及更广泛地进行融合研究的其他个人和团队提供由TDI管理的在线资源。该项目将包括旨在将融合与融合和跨学科联系起来的理论研究，以及确定在获得资助的项目中实施融合的不同方式的实证研究。这项研究将更紧密地将融合文献与关于整合和跨学科的文献联系起来，它还将帮助那些在GCR、其他NSF项目和其他项目中追求融合研究的人在设计和交付融合时更加明确。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。
