Smart and Connected Communities - 2019 PI Meeting

智能互联社区（Smart and Connected Communities，简称CC）的愿景是通过智能技术将居民与彼此及其环境连接起来，从而改善不同社区的福祉和繁荣。实现这一愿景需要解决复杂的、环环相扣的物理、社会、行为、经济和基础设施方面的挑战，只有通过与社区利益相关者密切接触，了解社区需求并制定可行的解决方案，才能实现这一目标。本提案适用于2019年S&amp；CC项目首席研究员（PI）会议。会议将允许来自美国国家科学基金会（NSF） S&amp；CC项目的pi和跨越多个技术和社会学科的研究生与项目主管、社区合作伙伴和利益相关者以及其他联邦机构的代表进行互动，以传播项目目标和成就，并促进新的和新兴的合作。这将是第二次S&amp；CC PI会议，将包括2017年和2018年S&amp；CC征集的受助人。PI会议的计划会议将讨论S&amp；CC的跨领域主题，包括改善服务不足社区的成果，以及在开发和原型阶段之后维持S&amp；CC技术。这些讨论将通过NSF pi和参与的社区伙伴的网络活动得到加强。此外，标准普尔CC PI会议将与在科罗拉多州丹佛市举行的智慧城市连接年会同时举行。S&amp；CC Connect会议是一个为期数天的会议，汇集了致力于S&amp；CC问题并有兴趣与包括学术研究人员在内的其他人建立伙伴关系的城市和市政领导人。会议的一个重要方面是为参加更广泛的连接会议的S&amp；CC PI社区和公民领导人提供了建立联系的机会。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 Smart and Connected Communities (S&CC) vision is to improve the well-being and prosperity of diverse communities by connecting residents to each other and their environments through smart technologies. Achieving this vision will require solving complex and interlocking physical, social, behavioral, economic, and infrastructure challenges, which will only be possible through close engagement with community stakeholders to understand the community needs and develop actionable solutions. This proposal is for the 2019 S&CC Program Principal Investigator (PI) meeting. The meeting will allow PIs from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) S&CC Program and graduate students spanning multiple technological and social disciplines to interact with Program Directors, community partners and stakeholders, and representatives from other Federal Agencies in order to disseminate project objectives and accomplishments and foster new and emerging collaborations. This will be the second S&CC PI Meeting, and will include grantees from both the 2017 and 2018 S&CC solicitation.Planned sessions of the PI meeting will address cross-cutting themes of S&CC, including improving outcomes in under-served communities and sustaining S&CC technologies beyond the development and prototyping stages. These discussions will be enhanced through networking activities for NSF PIs and participating community partners. In addition, the S&CC PI meeting will be held in conjunction with the Smart Cities Connect annual meeting in Denver, Colorado. The S&CC Connect meeting is a multi-day meeting that brings together city and municipality leaders who are working on S&CC problems and are interested in forming partnerships with others including academic researchers. An important aspect of the meeting is an opportunity for networking between the S&CC PI community and civic leaders attending the broader Connect meeting.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.
