Towards the Future Direction of the NSF Program on the Cyberinfrastructure for Sustained Scientific Innovation (CSSI)

NSF持续科学创新网络基础设施（CSSI）项目不仅在支持创新软件和数据产品的开发和部署方面发挥了关键作用，而且在一些劳动力发展和社区建设举措方面也发挥了重要作用。通过CSSI计划资助的项目促进了国家在数据、高性能计算（HPC）、网络、网络安全、软件和劳动力发展领域的竞争力和领导地位。关于“NSF CSSI项目的未来方向”的研讨会有助于收集社区对CSSI项目当前范围和目标的反馈，并指导其未来方向，从而保持国家在上述领域的领导地位。“NSF CSSI计划的未来方向”研讨会的目标是将来自工业界、学术界和政府实验室的研究人员和实践者聚集在一起，评估CSSI计划的影响，分享在现在和未来支持可持续软件和数据产品的最佳实践，并确定CSSI计划范围和社区需求中的差距（如果有的话）。本次研讨会的报告将帮助国家科学基金会了解CSSI项目的未来发展方向。研讨会将加强跨学科合作，发展网络基础设施（软件和数据），以支持不同科技领域的研究和创新。这个项目对于上述研讨会的组织和支持各种各样的研究人员和实践者参与未来CSSI招标的发展至关重要。一些参与者可能需要经济支持来参加研讨会。这个项目将帮助支持这些参与者的旅行。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。

The NSF Cyberinfrastructure for Sustained Scientific Innovation (CSSI) program has been critical in not only supporting the development and deployment of innovative software and data products, but also in several workforce development and community-building initiatives. The projects funded through the CSSI program have promoted the nation's competitiveness and leadership in the fields of data, High-Performance Computing (HPC), networking, cybersecurity, software, and workforce development. A workshop on the "Future Direction of the NSF CSSI Program" can be instrumental in gathering the community-feedback on the current scope and objectives of the CSSI program and guiding its future direction such that the nation's leadership in the aforementioned fields is maintained. The goal of the workshop on the "Future Direction of the NSF CSSI Program" is to bring together researchers and practitioners from the industry, academia, and government laboratories to assess the impact of the CSSI program, share best practices in supporting sustainable software and data products in present and future, and identify gaps (if any) in the scope of the CSSI program and needs of the community. A report resulting from this workshop will help inform NSF of future directions for the CSSI program. The workshop will strengthen multi-disciplinary collaborations on developing the cyberinfrastructure (software and data) for supporting research and innovation in different fields of science and technology. This project is critical for enabling the organization of the aforementioned workshop and supporting the participation of a diverse range of researchers and practitioners in the development of the future CSSI solicitations. Some participants may need financial support for traveling to the workshop. This project will help in supporting the travel of such participants.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.
