Smart and Connected Health (SCH) PI Workshop, 2017

该提案支持2017年3月2日至22日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的NSF智能互联健康（SCH）主要研究者会议和愿景研讨会。会议汇集了2011年至2016年智能互联健康计划授予的项目的主要研究者（PI）。SCH计划的建立是为了弥合基础科学的差距，以改变健康和医疗保健，以及专注于预防和以人为本的护理。特别是，愿景研讨会旨在通过计算机科学，工程和社会，行为和经济学科的基础研究来解决下一代健康发展面临的挑战。 PI研讨会的一个目标是为主要研究人员提供一个机会，探索各种资助项目的研究进展，讨论当前重要的问题，以及与跨学科科学领域研究相关的未来挑战。讨论将得到与项目相关的海报的支持，并通过愿景研讨会的相声进一步激发。预计会议将促进讨论，联系和合作，促进智能和互联健康领域的进展。该研讨会将对参与者和智能互联健康计划（SCH）的未来产生重大影响。研讨会的重点是支持互联社区内智能健康发展的基础研究。 讲习班的成果可能包括新的研究方向，将通过出版物和讲习班网站向研究界公布。研究结果的传播应该为发展中的智能互联健康研究社区提供跨学科合作、教育活动的信息，并激励其他创新研究方向。该研讨会的更广泛影响是促进该领域的进展，并促进对话，联系和合作，从而为尽可能广泛的用户群体提供更好的信息和有效的智能和互联健康研究及其技术。此外，还有一个研讨会附在主要研究者会议，将支持旅行的十名学生从代表性不足的STEM学科参加PI研讨会。这也应该有助于通过为希望在智能和互联健康领域开展工作的新的调查人员提供指导和支持来发展该领域。

This proposal supports the NSF Smart and Connected Health (SCH) Principal Investigators Meeting and Visioning Workshop in Boston, MA on March 2-22, 2017. The meeting brings together principal investigators (PI) of projects awarded by the Smart and Connected Health program from 2011 to 2016. The SCH program was set up in order to bridge gaps in fundamental science necessary to transform health and healthcare, as well as to be focused on prevention and person-centered care. In particular, the Visioning Workshop is designed to address the next generation of challenges in advancing health with foundational research from the computer science, engineering and the social, behavioral and economic disciplines. An objective of the PI Workshop is to provide an opportunity for the principal investigators to explore research progress in a diverse set of funded projects and discuss important current issues, as well as future challenges associated with research in transdisciplinary scientific areas. The discussions will be supported by projects-related posters and further stimulated by cross-talk from the Visioning Workshop. It is anticipated that the meeting will stimulate discussions, connections, and collaborations that will facilitate progress in the area of Smart and Connected Health. The workshop should have a significant impact on the participants and the future of the Smart and Connected Health program (SCH). The focus of the workshop is on foundational research that supports the growth of smart health within connected communities. The workshop results are likely to include new research directions that will be publicized to the research community through publications and a workshop website. The results dissemination should inform and the developing Smart and Connected Health research community in their transdisciplinary collaboration, educational activities, and spur other innovative research directions. The broader impacts of the workshop are to facilitate progress in the field and stimulate conversations, connections, and collaborations that will lead toward better informed and effective smart and connected health research and resulting technologies for the broadest possible user populations. Additionally, there is a workshop attached to the Principal Investigator meeting that will support the travel for ten students from under-represented STEM disciplines to attend the PI Workshop. This should also help grow the field by providing mentorship and support for a new cadre of investigators looking to do work in the Smart and Connected Health area.
