Networks that illegally traffic in everything from people and drugs to human organs and nuclear material pose significant threats to US health, prosperity and security. This award supports a conference and grantees' meeting that convenes researchers and educators supported by NSF's Disrupting Operations of Illicit Supply Networks (D-ISN) initiative, other interested researchers and educators, and representatives from a variety of government sectors to share research outcomes and explore opportunities for collaboration in studying a variety of illicit supply networks. NSF's D-ISN initiative supports teams of investigators from diverse fields, including operations research, the social sciences, and computer science focused on advancing the scientific understanding of how such illicit supply networks function and how to disrupt them. This conference brings together these and other interested researchers, along with NSF program directors and representatives from many different governmental agencies and federally-sponsored Centers of Excellence, to nurture this emerging research community.The conference will bring together domain experts and quantitative researchers to explore new analytical approaches and engineering methods to disrupt and disable illicit supply networks. The conference includes keynotes and grantee poster sessions, as well as facilitated breakout sessions on specific illicit supply network domains (human/organ/arms trafficking; narcotics/drugs/counterfeit products trafficking, financial fraud, among others). There will be ample networking opportunities for supported and other interested researchers to discuss topics related to this research theme. These discussions will include representatives from many US and foreign agencies whose missions involve various aspects of detection and interdiction of illicit supply networks to begin to move academic research into translation. The conference also provides opportunities for student involvement.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.

从人和毒品到人体器官和核材料的所有事物的网络对美国的健康，繁荣和安全构成了重大威胁。该奖项支持会议和受赠者的会议，该会议召集了研究人员和教育工作者，由NSF的破坏非法供应网络（D-ISN）倡议，其他有兴趣的研究人员和教育工作者以及各种政府部门的代表分享研究成果并探索各种非法供应网络的合作机会。 NSF的D-ISN计划支持来自不同领域的调查人员团队，包括运营研究，社会科学和计算机科学，致力于促进对这种非法供应网络如何运作以及如何破坏它们的科学理解。这次会议将这些和其他感兴趣的研究人员以及来自许多不同政府机构和联邦政府赞助的卓越中心的NSF计划董事以及代表汇集在一起​​，以培养这个新兴的研究社区。会议将召集域专家和定量研究人员，以探索新的分析方法和工程方法，以破坏和销售非法供应网络。该会议包括主题演讲和受赠人的海报会议，以及有关特定非法供应网络领域（人/器官/武器贩运的特定非法供应网络领域的突破性会议；麻醉品/药物/伪造产品贩运，金融欺诈等）。支持和其他感兴趣的研究人员将有足够的网络机会讨论与此研究主题相关的主题。这些讨论将包括来自许多美国和外国机构的代表，其任务涉及探测和拦截非法供应网络的各个方面，以开始将学术研究转化为翻译。该会议还提供了学生参与的机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评论标准来评估值得支持的。
