Conference: 2024 S&CC PI Meeting

该项目的目的是策划和组织2024年美国国家科学基金会（NSF）智能互联社区首席研究员（PI）会议。本次会议将召集NSF S CC计划的所有活跃奖项的PI，PI会议将于2024年2月/3月在田纳西州纳什维尔举行。PI会议是NSF赞助的S CC研究人员，地方政府和社区组织代表以及联邦机构代表的年度机会，以收集和审查S CC进展和发展，确定新的和新兴的研究领域，并讨论研究和应用差距和障碍。该计划议程是社区驱动的，包括PI的演示（口头和海报），过去一年的计划活动报告，以及展示新的S CC进步和创新。这将是一个混合PI会议。它将包括面对面和虚拟元素。PI会议的虚拟部分还将使学术界、政府和工业界的研究人员能够参与进来。年度PI会议是NSF资助的S CC PI分享研究成果、讨论新的研究机会和挑战、探索未来工作的新思路和伙伴关系的唯一机会。此外，PI会议也是学术研究界与政府机构互动的机会，这些政府机构对S CC的研究和开发有着既得利益。PI会议是一个在S CC社区分享想法的论坛。它在广泛的部门和技术中发展社区，并向有兴趣了解该计划并作为未来提议者，过渡合作伙伴或赞助商参与的其他人进行宣传方面发挥了重要作用。2024年PI会议将包括研究人员的演讲，海报会议，专题研讨会，以及研究界和地方政府领导人的演示和主题演讲。该奖项反映了NSF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 purpose of this project is to plan and organize the 2024 National Science Foundation (NSF) Smart & Connected Communities Principal Investigator (PI) Meeting. This meeting will convene all PIs of active awards the NSF S&CC Program and the PI Meeting is to take place during February/March of 2024 in Nashville, Tennessee. The PI meeting is an annual opportunity for NSF-sponsored S&CC researchers, local government and community organization representatives, and Federal agency representatives to gather and review S&CC progress and developments, identify new and emerging research areas, and to discuss research and application gaps and barriers. The program agenda is community-driven and includes presentations (oral and poster) from PIs, reports of past year program activities, and showcasing of new S&CC advancements and innovations. This will be a hybrid PI meeting. It will include both in-person and virtual elements. The virtual component of the PI meeting will also enable a larger community of researchers across academia, government, and industry to participate.The annual PI Meeting serves as the only opportunity where the NSF-funded S&CC PIs meet to share their research, discuss new research opportunities and challenges, and explore new ideas and partnerships for future work. Furthermore, the PI meeting is also an opportunity for the academic research community to interact with government agencies with vested interest in S&CC research and development. The PI Meeting is a forum for sharing ideas across the S&CC community. It has played a major role in growing the community across a broad range of sectors and technologies, and performing outreach to others who have interest in learning about the program and participating as future proposers, transition partners, or sponsors. The 2024 PI meeting will feature presentations from researchers, poster sessions, special topic workshops, and demonstrations and keynotes from leaders in the research community and local government.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.
