The NSF workshop on National Networks of Research Institutes (NNRI) is a two-day workshop designed to bring together diverse individuals from academia, industry, philanthropy, government, and non-profit organizations to collectively define a distinctive and compelling vision and explore implementation considerations for a new type of research institutes. These institutes will engage in (1) fundamental research in critical areas of science and engineering and (2) the translation of this research, with an integrated team of partners, from industry, philanthropy, government, and non-profit organizations, to solve challenges of national importance. Participants in the workshop will work jointly to develop a comprehensive vision and to outline the distinctive and critical characteristics for a new Institute model and NNRI in the context of NSF’s mission with special focus on two key goals: (i) strengthening US leadership in critical areas through use-inspired fundamental research; and (ii) fostering the economic and societal impact of federally-funded R&D. With use- inspired fundamental research as the major driver, the workshop will explore innovations in systems, structures, and processes that can deeply interconnect academic, venture capital, technology sectors, small-medium-large industry, and regional, state and federal government agencies. Such innovations are expected to accelerate translation of fundamental advances in critical areas into services, processes, and products that can help achieve national goals related to economic competitiveness, domestic manufacturing, national security, shared prosperity, energy and the environment, health, education and workforce development, and transportation. The organizing committee will provide to the NSF, a final workshop report that outlines a list of findings and recommendations.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.

NSF国家研究机构网络研讨会(NNRI)是一个为期两天的研讨会，旨在将来自学术界、工业界、慈善机构、政府和非营利组织的不同个人聚集在一起，共同定义一个独特而引人注目的愿景，并探索新型研究机构的实施考虑因素。这些研究所将从事(1)科学和工程关键领域的基础研究和(2)这项研究的转化，并与来自行业、慈善、政府和非营利组织的合作伙伴组成综合团队，以解决对国家具有重要意义的挑战。研讨会的参与者将共同努力制定一个全面的愿景，并在NSF使命的背景下概述新的研究所模式和NNRI的独特和关键特征，特别关注两个关键目标：(I)通过受使用启发的基础研究加强美国在关键领域的领导地位；以及(Ii)促进联邦资助的研发的经济和社会影响。以使用启发基础研究为主要驱动力，研讨会将探索系统、结构和过程中的创新，这些创新可以深入地将学术、风险投资、技术部门、中小型行业以及地区、州和联邦政府机构联系在一起。这些创新预计将加速将关键领域的根本性进展转化为服务、流程和产品，有助于实现与经济竞争力、国内制造、国家安全、共同繁荣、能源和环境、卫生、教育和劳动力发展以及交通相关的国家目标。组委会将向NSF提供一份最终研讨会报告，其中概述了调查结果和建议的清单。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。
