Workshop on a National Network of Research Institutes (NNRI)

NSF国家研究机构网络研讨会（NNRI）是一个为期两天的研讨会，旨在汇集来自学术界，工业界，慈善机构，政府和非营利组织的不同个人，共同定义一个独特而引人注目的愿景，并探索新型研究机构的实施考虑。这些研究所将从事(1)科学和工程关键领域的基础研究；(2)与来自工业、慈善、政府和非营利组织的合作伙伴组成的综合团队一起，将这些研究成果转化为现实，以解决具有国家重要性的挑战。研讨会的参与者将共同努力，在国家科学基金会的使命背景下，制定一个全面的愿景，并概述一个新的研究所模式和NNRI的独特和关键特征，特别关注两个关键目标：(i)通过使用启发的基础研究加强美国在关键领域的领导地位；（ii）促进联邦资助研发的经济和社会影响。本次研讨会将以应用启发型基础研究为主要驱动力，探索系统、结构和流程方面的创新，这些创新可以将学术、风险投资、技术部门、中小型大型工业以及地区、州和联邦政府机构深度互联。预计这些创新将加速将关键领域的基本进步转化为有助于实现与经济竞争力、国内制造业、国家安全、共同繁荣、能源和环境、卫生、教育和劳动力发展以及运输有关的国家目标的服务、流程和产品。组委会将向美国国家科学基金会提供一份最终的研讨会报告，其中概述了研究结果和建议。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 workshop on National Networks of Research Institutes (NNRI) is a two-day workshop designed to bring together diverse individuals from academia, industry, philanthropy, government, and non-profit organizations to collectively define a distinctive and compelling vision and explore implementation considerations for a new type of research institutes. These institutes will engage in (1) fundamental research in critical areas of science and engineering and (2) the translation of this research, with an integrated team of partners, from industry, philanthropy, government, and non-profit organizations, to solve challenges of national importance. Participants in the workshop will work jointly to develop a comprehensive vision and to outline the distinctive and critical characteristics for a new Institute model and NNRI in the context of NSF’s mission with special focus on two key goals: (i) strengthening US leadership in critical areas through use-inspired fundamental research; and (ii) fostering the economic and societal impact of federally-funded R&D. With use- inspired fundamental research as the major driver, the workshop will explore innovations in systems, structures, and processes that can deeply interconnect academic, venture capital, technology sectors, small-medium-large industry, and regional, state and federal government agencies. Such innovations are expected to accelerate translation of fundamental advances in critical areas into services, processes, and products that can help achieve national goals related to economic competitiveness, domestic manufacturing, national security, shared prosperity, energy and the environment, health, education and workforce development, and transportation. The organizing committee will provide to the NSF, a final workshop report that outlines a list of findings and recommendations.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.
