Supporting Young Investigators Summer Research Institutes of the Consortium for the Science of Socio-Technical Systems

这项奖励将资助为社会技术系统的年轻研究人员开设两年的暑期学院。暑期学院的目的是在参加的年轻研究人员中培养智力深度和发展。这些讲习班将由社会技术系统科学联合会(CSST)管理。科学和技术科学委员会认识到，对国家科学基金会先前的智力和社区建设努力所确定的人与技术或社会技术系统之间的相互作用的研究日益重要。CSST涉及不同领域的教职员工，如社会信息学、社会计算、CSCW、计算社会科学、人机交互和信息科学。暑期学院通过对基于研究的提交材料进行竞争性审查，挑选后期研究生和早期教师参加该项目。通过一个密集的多天计划，暑期研究所提供了一个机会，通过与更有经验的研究人员进行智力交流来形成研究计划，并通过与其他年轻研究人员的合作来加强研究计划。暑期研习班期间的智力体验有助于在参与者之间建立一个社交网络，并与几名资深研究人员一起担任研习所的讲师。这一网络在参与者的专业发展和社会技术系统研究领域的发展中发挥着重要作用。暑期班学员的多样性(例如，机构、学科、地域、性别、少数群体地位)有助于拓宽学员在其职业生涯的关键阶段的视野。此外，将更加重视组织科技委，并制定更多方法来提高科技委活动的知名度。

This award will fund two years of Summer Institutes for young investigators of socio-technical systems. The Summer Institutes are designed to foster intellectual depth and development among the young researchers who attend. These workshops will be managed by the Consortium for the Science of Socio-Technical Systems (CSST). The CSST resulted from recognizing the growing importance of research on the interplay of humans and technology, or socio-technical systems as identified by prior intellectual and community building efforts of the NSF. The CSST involves faculty members in diverse fields, such as social informatics, social computing, CSCW, computational social science, HCI, and information science. The Summer Institute select late stage graduate students and early stage faculty for participation in the program through competitive review of a research based submission. Through an intensive multi-day program the Summer Institute provides an opportunity for research programs to be shaped through intellectual exchange with more experienced researchers as well as enhanced through collaboration with other young researchers. The intellectual experience during the Summer Institute facilitates creation of a social network among the participants and with several senior researchers who serve as instructors for the Institute. This network plays a major role in the professional development of the participants and in the evolution of the field of socio-technical systems research. The diversity of Summer Institute participants (e.g., institutional, disciplinary, geographic, gender, minority group status), serves to broaden participants' perspectives at a critical stage in their careers. In addition, there will be more attention to organizing the CSST and developing more ways to increase the visibility of the CSST activities.
