Virtual reality is a multidisciplinary field involving human-centered computer simulations that seek to imitate or augment real world senses (usually sight, sound, and touch) and experiences. VR research includes the development and assessment of methods and systems, and facilitating and understanding user perceptions, beliefs, and behaviors. First organized by the IEEE Computer Society in 1993 and held annually since 1995, IEEE Virtual Reality is the premier international conference and exhibition in this field and includes technical paper presentations, workshops, tutorials, research demonstrations, and exhibits from industry. More information about the conference may be found online at http://www.ieeevr.org/2016. The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to provide a unique venue for interactive, supportive, and prestigious mentoring for mid-level graduate students in virtual reality, to afford these students a valuable opportunity to get independent perspectives on their research from senior individuals with a wide collective breadth and depth of knowledge, and to build a cohort of young researchers within the VR community. Special efforts have been made by the organizers to achieve diversity among the students across institutions, and to recruit participants from groups traditionally underrepresented in the field of computer science, including women, persons of color, and people with disabilities. \n\nThis year's IEEE VR Doctoral Consortium builds on the successful format of the first three such events, which were also supported by NSF. The event will begin with a dinner on Saturday, March 19, immediately prior to the start of the IEEE 3DUI Symposium, to welcome the students and provide initial mentorship and tips for networking at the conference. The main activities will take place on Sunday, March 20, in parallel with the second day of IEEE 3DUI. The workshop will include morning and afternoon sessions in which each student presents his/her work to the other student participants and a panel of senior VR researchers, with sufficient time set aside after each talk for discussion and constructive feedback that addresses the strengths of the work, challenges and issues that may arise, and implications of the results. A group working lunch attended by all the students and mentors will be particularly valuable for unifying the individual goals and projects presented within the group as part of a \"big picture\" envisioning of the future of the field over the next 10-20 years. Each student will also be asked to prepare a poster on his/her research that will be on display during the conference as part of the poster sessions, and to submit a short (2-page) abstract to be archived in the IEEE Digital Library. The VR conference will begin that evening, with a welcome reception where Doctoral Consortium participants will network with what they have learned over the first two days. Additional smaller activities will take place at scattered times over the rest of the week; in particular, small groups of 2-3 students will meet for mentoring lunches and/or other networking events with senior members of the VR/3DUI community.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "4709", "attributes": { "award_id": "1313847", "title": "WORKSHOP: Student Consortium at the 2013 ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE)", "HCC-Human-Centered Computing" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 16326, "first_name": "Ephraim", "last_name": "Glinert", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2013-02-01", "end_date": "2015-01-31", "award_amount": 10368, "principal_investigator": { "id": 16327, "first_name": "Henry", "last_name": "Lieberman", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 210, "ror": "https://ror.org/042nb2s44", "name": "Massachusetts Institute of Technology", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "MA", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 210, "ror": "https://ror.org/042nb2s44", "name": "Massachusetts Institute of Technology", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "MA", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "This is funding to provide financial support for 10 graduate students (at least 8 of them registered at U.S. universities and working towards either their Master's degree or a Doctorate) to attend the 2013 International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2013), to be held March 19-22 in Santa Monica, California, as participants in a special Student Consortium (workshop), as presenters in the main conference, and as attendees at the conference for general training purposes. Sponsored by ACM, the annual IUI conferences represent the growing interest in next-generation intelligent and interactive user interfaces; they are the premier forum where researchers from academia and industry, who work at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), come together to exchange complementary insights and to present and discuss outstanding research and applications whose goal is to make the computerized world a more amenable place. Unlike traditional AI the focus is not so much on making the computer smart all by itself, but rather on making the interaction between computers and people smarter. Unlike traditional HCI, there is a focus on solutions that involve large amounts of knowledge and emerging technologies such as natural language understanding, brain computer interfaces, and gesture recognition. To this end, IUI encourages contributions not only from computer science but also from related fields such as psychology, cognitive science, computer graphics, the arts, etc. IUI 2013 will be the 16th conference in the series; topics of interest this year include: intelligent interactive interfaces, systems, and devices; ubiquitous interfaces; smart environments and tools; human-centered interfaces; mobile interfaces; multimodal interfaces; pen-based interfaces; spoken and natural language interfaces; conversational interfaces; affective and social interfaces; tangible interfaces; collaborative multi-user interfaces; adaptive interfaces; sensor-based interfaces; user modeling and interaction with novel interfaces and devices; interfaces for personalization and recommender systems; interfaces for plan-based systems; interfaces that incorporate knowledge- or agent-based approaches; help interfaces for complex tasks; example- and demonstration-based interfaces; interfaces for intelligent generation and presentation of information; intelligent authoring systems; synthesis of multimodal virtual characters and social robots; interfaces for games and entertainment; for learning-based interactions and for health informatics; empirical studies and evaluations of IUI interfaces; and new approaches to designing intelligent user interfaces. More information about the conference is available online at http://iuiconf.org/. \n\nThe IUI 2013 Student Consortium will build on the success of the first such event last year. The heart of the Consortium will be a full-day workshop on March 19, immediately preceding the conference, and will be structured to give student trainees exposure to their new research community by giving a 20-30 presentation on their work and receiving feedback from peers and a panel of 4-5 senior researchers. Group lunch and dinner will encourage social interaction among the student cohort and informal personal interaction with the mentors. The students' work will also be featured during the main conference in a poster session, where they will gain additional experience explaining their work to others in the field. The IUI conference organizers will pay for audio-visual services, two coffee breaks, and space for accommodating attendees in the student session; no funds are requested for these items from NSF.\n\nBroader Impacts: This funding will enable attendance at the IUI conference by students who might otherwise be unable to do so for financial reasons. It will enhance the educational experience of funded participants, by bringing them into contact with leading researchers in the field and by exposing them to the lively discussion during the course of the conference that often leads to opportunities for career advancement. The quality of the conference itself will be enhanced as well, thanks to a broadening of the base of institutions represented and increased diversity of participants. The rich exchange of ideas at IUI has previously proven to be a valuable source of ideas for future research, as well as leading to collaborative efforts; this funding will extend the opportunities for collaboration and provide intellectual stimulus to programs that have previously sent few or no representatives to this conference. The organizing committee has undertaken to proactively recruit student participants from schools that have not traditionally been well represented in the IUI community. Women, minority students, the disabled, and veterans all will be encouraged to participate. To further assure diversity, no more than one student will be accepted from any given institution.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "5304", "attributes": { "award_id": "0837839", "title": "Workshop: Paleoclimate Modeling Intercomparison Project on Coupled Simulations; Estes Park, Colorado; September 14-19, 2008", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Geosciences (GEO)", "Paleoclimate" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 18651, "first_name": "David", "last_name": "Verardo", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2008-07-01", "end_date": "2011-06-30", "award_amount": 20000, "principal_investigator": { "id": 18652, "first_name": "Bette", "last_name": "Otto-Bliesner", "orcid": null, "emails": "[email protected]", "private_emails": null, "keywords": "[]", "approved": true, "websites": "[]", "desired_collaboration": "", "comments": "", "affiliations": [ { "id": 275, "ror": "", "name": "University Corporation For Atmospheric Res", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "CO", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 275, "ror": "", "name": "University Corporation For Atmospheric Res", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "CO", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "This award helps support a workshop to discuss the potential contributions of the Paleoclimate Modeling Intercomparison Project (PMIP) to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment (AR5).

The long-running VL/HCC series occupies a unique niche among HCI and Programming Language conferences, in that it focuses specifically on how to help end users successfully develop and use software. Recent advances in computing have led to continually deeper integration between computers and human society. People now swim in a \"sea\" of socio-technical systems that synthesize large numbers of contributing users with vast amounts of source code. Examples include social media systems, open source repositories, online marketplaces and massively multiplayer online games. Yet as the socio-technical systems in this sea have grown in complexity, they have become increasingly difficult for end users to understand and direct toward productive ends. Thus, when users put data into a system they may be unable to anticipate and control how their data will be used by other people or by software in the system; when users take actions in the system they often cannot foresee and manage unintended effects on other users, software, or the system as a whole, particularly because the system's software often contains defects. These problems are further complicated by the fact that different users simultaneously might take actions toward differing goals, while autonomous software such as agents might meanwhile also take actions toward goals of their own. These and similar problems reflect a fundamental lack of sufficient methods, models and tools to help end users visualize, analyze, tailor, and manage large socio-technical systems. At a deeper level, insufficient theory is available for predicting the complicated, unstable, sometimes-emergent behavior that results when large numbers of diverse, unpredictable humans are coupled to unreliable software.\n\nThis year's VL/HCC Doctoral Consortium, the ninth to be funded by NSF in this series, will focus on advancing knowledge and understanding of solutions to these problems. The workshop will bring together and build community among young researchers working on different aspects of these problems from the perspectives of diverse fields including computer science, the social sciences, and education. It will guide the work of these new researchers by providing an opportunity for experts in the research field (as well as their peers) to give them advice, in that student participants will make formal presentations of their work during the workshop and will receive feedback from a faculty panel. The feedback is geared to helping students understand and articulate how their work is positioned relative to other human-computer interaction research, whether their topics are adequately focused for thesis research projects, whether their methods are correctly chosen and applied, and whether the results are appropriately analyzed and presented. As in prior years the VL/HCC 2011 Doctoral Consortium will be part of the regular conference program. A 2-page extended abstract of each participant's work will be published in the conference proceedings. More information about the VL/HCC conference may be found at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~vlhcc2011. \n\nBroader Impacts: The workshop will help shape ongoing and future research projects aimed at alleviating a pressing problem of relevance to a great many people within our society. This event will promote discovery and learning, by encouraging the student researchers to explore a difficult and challenging open problem, through involvement of a panel of well-known researchers whose task is to provide constructive feedback, and through inclusion of other conference participants who will also learn from and provide additional feedback to the students and to each other. The PI and the members of the organizing committee will make special efforts to attract a diverse and interdisciplinary group of student participants, with special attention paid to recruitment of women and minorities. The PI expects that most of the students supported by this award will come from U.S. universities but as in past years, due to the highly international make-up of the research community, a few non-U.S. students may be invited to participate as well.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "13635", "attributes": { "award_id": "2124822", "title": "Workshop: Funding, Financing and Emerging Technologies in Infrastructure; New York, New York, December 2021; and London, England, Summer 2022", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Engineering (ENG)", "CIS-Civil Infrastructure Syst" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 2042, "first_name": "Siqian", "last_name": "Shen", "orcid": null, "emails": "[email protected]", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 169, "ror": "", "name": "Regents of the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "MI", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] } ], "start_date": "2021-11-01", "end_date": null, "award_amount": 99892, "principal_investigator": { "id": 29829, "first_name": "Rick", "last_name": "Geddes", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, "other_investigators": [ { "id": 29828, "first_name": "Thomas D", "last_name": "O'Rourke", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "awardee_organization": { "id": 279, "ror": "https://ror.org/05bnh6r87", "name": "Cornell University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "NY", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "This award supports a series of workshops that will assemble experts from infrastructure’s economic, financial, social, technology and engineering dimensions to explore how a multi-disciplinary approach can address serious financial and policy challenges endemic to infrastructure delivery. The Workshops will review innovative approaches to the funding and financing of infrastructure based on lessons from both domestic and international case studies. To this end, participants will strive to advance and integrate scientific understanding in three main subareas: (i) mechanisms and evaluation metrics toward the funding and financing of infrastructure; (ii) the social equity aspects of those funding and financing mechanisms; (iii) emerging technologies that facilitate and support public-private partnerships in infrastructure development, construction, operation and maintenance. The workshops will facilitate collaboration and continuing interaction between the US and UK, and also create a forum for students to participate and establish contacts with participants having strong national and international reputations, building a pipeline of next-generation experts in infrastructure planning and policy.<br/><br/>The workshops will be organized by research teams from the UK and US. On the US side, the Cornell University Program in Infrastructure Policy (CPIP) will be the focal point of workshop organization. CPIP will partner with the Urban Tech Hub at the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute, on the Cornell Tech campus in New York City. On the UK side, the workshop is organized by the Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction (CSIC) based at the University of Cambridge. The workshop participants will generate a research agenda with the vision and expertise to transform infrastructure. It will establish an intellectual basis for public and private investments as well as the adoption of new and proven technologies to improve infrastructure delivery. Example of the key questions to be discussed at the workshop are (1) How are financial risks shared in public-private partnerships and what types of funding mechanisms are more resilient in that shared-risk context? (2) What are key factors driving widespread participation in public-private partnerships, and how can funding mechanisms be designed to ensure that disadvantaged communities are not left out? (3) How can alternative delivery models and approaches, such as public-private partnerships, value capture, and asset recycling, be wisely designed while considering the increased attention on ensuring universal access, resilience, and emerging transformational infrastructure technologies? The result will be to guide and sustain impactful research for years to come, setting the stage for greater cross-country, cross-disciplinary, and cross-sectoral research and infrastructure implementation.<br/><br/>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.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "12570", "attributes": { "award_id": "2230271", "title": "Workshop: Exploring Academic Unit Change at Two-Year Colleges", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Directorate for STEM Education (EDU)", "IUSE" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2022-12-01", "end_date": null, "award_amount": 0, "principal_investigator": { "id": 28497, "first_name": "Sarah", "last_name": "Wise", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 172, "ror": "", "name": "University of Colorado at Boulder", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "CO", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). This project aims to serve the national interest by developing and disseminating knowledge about innovative, effective change processes and strategies for two year colleges. The project will convene a four-part workshop for a wide variety of two-year college (2YC) STEM faculty/staff/administrator teams interested in advancing curricular and cultural change in their academic units. Workshop activities will result in several outcomes: 1) the workshop’s consensus recommendations on processes and strategies that support change in the 2YC context, 2) a curated set of resources that workshop participants find promising to support such change, 3) a variety of change-related awareness-raising activities and change projects, implemented at the participating 2YCs, 4) a self-sustaining network of 2YC STEM faculty, staff, and administrators engaged in advancing academic unit-level change, and 5) articles and other dissemination products sharing the workshop outcomes to the broader 2YC community and higher education change communities. These outcomes are significant because most academic unit-level improvement projects to date have focused on the four-year college context, whereas this project is focused on making systemic improvements in STEM education at 2YCs.The four workshop sessions will be spread across a year to further the project goals of 1) exploring change processes in-depth, in 2YC STEM academic contexts and 2) supporting participating 2YC teams in engaging their units or institutions in a local project related to advancing academic unit-level change. Each session intends to be 2-3 hours in length and be attended by 50 2YC faculty, staff, and administrator teams, representing at least 15 different institutions. Session topics aim to explore understanding 2YC STEM unit change needs, conceptualizing effective change processes at 2YCs, sharing plans and feedback around change-related projects at participating 2YC STEM units, and sharing results and lessons learned from implemented projects. Overall, the sessions seek to promote change efforts in STEM units in participating 2YCs, produce new knowledge around the types of change that are desired at 2YCs, and identify which evidence-based processes and structures are most likely to be effective at supporting and sustaining change in these contexts. The project team will be led by two 2YC STEM faculty members with professional development experience and supported by researchers with expertise in evidence-based institutional change. Researchers plan to apply the organizational learning framework across the project’s programs, research, and evaluation activities to support the design of an effective workshop and to synthesize the contributions of workshop participants. The organizational learning framework helps examine the individual, group, and organizational factors and processes that influence the ways change ideas and initiatives are received and integrated (or not integrated) by an organization. The framework will support a qualitative analysis of workshop artifacts to identify processes and structures supportive of change in STEM units at 2YCs. This work will help distinguish processes enabling cultural changes, which are more likely to be sustained.

There are new challenges such as new and evolving diseases (e.g., antibiotic resistant bacteria), evolving situations (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic), evolving behavior (e.g., anti-vaxxer movement, sedentary lifestyle, opioid crises) that require constant innovation in therapeutic treatments, drug discovery, and other aspects. Advances in information and sensing technologies, communication platforms, and robotics assisted systems, have led to significant improvements in the quality of healthcare delivery and in controlling the costs of healthcare. Within the Health and Human Services sector, there is rapid adoption of new technologies such as IoT devices, robotics assisted systems, mobile and Edge/Cloud computing, Social Networks, AI/ML, etc., creating a data-intensive hyper-connected cyber-physical interacting systems. These new technologies provide increasing opportunities to realize the dream of personalized health and well-being. However, all of these technologies bring a plethora of their own unique security, privacy and ethical challenges.The objective of this workshop is to bring together approximately 50-60 scientists, students, and stakeholders to identify the unique challenges in terms of security, privacy, fairness, and ethics underlying the use of information technology and computing in healthcare. By bringing together participants from computing, informatics, and healthcare, across academia, industry, and government the workshop aims to enable cross-fertilization between these communities, and the identification of the major challenges that are unique to this context. The insights and findings that results will be summarized in a workshop report and disseminated to the attendees and scientific experts in the fields of security, privacy, healthcare, and informatics.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.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "3155", "attributes": { "award_id": "1829167", "title": "WORKSHOP: Doctoral Consortium at the IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FG 2018)", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE)", "HCC-Human-Centered Computing" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 9845, "first_name": "Ephraim", "last_name": "Glinert", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2018-04-01", "end_date": "2019-03-31", "award_amount": 10000, "principal_investigator": { "id": 9846, "first_name": "Yan", "last_name": "Tong", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 406, "ror": "", "name": "University of South Carolina at Columbia", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "SC", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 406, "ror": "", "name": "University of South Carolina at Columbia", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "SC", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "This is funding to support a Doctoral Consortium (workshop) of approximately 6 graduate students from U.S. educational institutions, along with unpaid senior members of the research community as mentors, to be held in conjunction with the thirteenth IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FG 2018), which will take place May 15-19, 2018, in Xi'an, China. The IEEE FG conference is the premier international forum for research in image- and video-based face, gesture, and body movement recognition. Their broad scope includes new algorithms for computer vision, pattern recognition, and computer graphics, as well as machine learning techniques relevant to face, gesture and body motion for a variety of applications. The conferences present research that advances the state of the art in these and related areas, leading to new capabilities in interactive systems, biometrics, surveillance, healthcare, and entertainment, and they play an important role in shaping related scientific, academic, and educational programs. More information is available online at http://www.fg2018.org/. The Doctoral Consortium will provide an opportunity for Ph.D. students whose dissertations are on topics related to automatic face and gesture recognition to present their proposed research, and receive constructive feedback from an invited committee of faculty and industry researchers, as well as from other students working in these areas. The event will give students valuable exposure to outside perspectives of their work, and provide a comfortable forum in which to discuss and fine-tune their career objectives with members of the international research community, and identify areas that need further development. The workshop will also enable these young researchers to develop a network of contacts at a critical stage of their careers, and will foster a supportive community of scholars and spirit of collaborative research. The organizers will make a particular effort to recruit and include students from underrepresented groups (women and underrepresented minorities) and students from smaller schools or schools with less established computer vision research. They will also try to recruit a demographically diverse (in terms of region, type of employment and stage in career) group of mentors to advise these students.\n\nThe Doctoral Consortium will be a half-day event during the conference. This year, there will be four distinct aspects to the event. First, each participant will be paired up with an invited faculty or industrial researcher who works in the related area and will act as their mentor both in the Doctoral Consortium and throughout the FG conference. Second, there will be a career panel during a working lunch where participants will have an opportunity to discuss their research and career objectives with other participants and mentors in an informal setting. Third, there will be a dedicated oral session for the students to present their research to the invited committee. Fourth, there will be a poster session for the students to present their work to all conference attendees. These four activities, taken together, will afford an excellent and structured way for students to communicate with other students as well as with established researchers of their related research community.\n\nThis 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.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "2554", "attributes": { "award_id": "2039317", "title": "WORKSHOP: Doctoral Consortium at the 2020 Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE)", "HCC-Human-Centered Computing" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 7344, "first_name": "Ephraim", "last_name": "Glinert", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2020-08-01", "end_date": "2021-07-31", "award_amount": 4500, "principal_investigator": { "id": 7345, "first_name": "Jessica", "last_name": "Vitak", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 297, "ror": "https://ror.org/047s2c258", "name": "University of Maryland, College Park", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "MD", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 297, "ror": "https://ror.org/047s2c258", "name": "University of Maryland, College Park", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "MD", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "This is funding to support a doctoral research consortium (workshop) to take place in conjunction with the Association for Computing Machinery's 2020 Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing (CSCW), to be held virtually due to the current situation from October 17-21, and which is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Human Computer Interaction (SIGCHI). The CSCW conferences are the premier venue for the presentation of research relating to the design and use of technologies that affect groups, organizations, communities and networks. The development and application of new technologies continues to enable new ways of working together and coordinating activities. While work is an important area of focus for the conference, technology is increasingly supporting a wide range of recreational and social activities. CSCW has also embraced an increasing range of devices, as we collaborate from different contexts and situations. Research published at CSCW is heavily refereed and widely cited; the conference annually attracts over 700 top researchers from academia and industry around the world. The CSCW doctoral consortia, which began in 1992, have been highly successful in providing a forum for the initial socialization into the field of young doctoral scholars, and many of today's leading CSCW researchers participated as students in earlier consortia. These doctoral consortia traditionally bring together the best of the next generation of CSCW researchers, allowing them both to sharpen the research skills and to create a social network among themselves and with senior researchers at a critical stage in their professional development. Maintaining and fostering research dialog among the diverse disciplines that are present in the CSCW community results in synergistic and transformative research collaborations. Because the students and faculty constitute a diverse group across a variety of dimensions, including nationality/cultural and scientific discipline, the students' horizons are broadened to the future benefit of the field.\n\nThe Doctoral Consortium at CSCW 2020 will be a full-day event taking place the day before the main conference on October 18. Goals of the doctoral consortium include building a cohort group of new researchers who will then have a network of colleagues spread out across the world, guiding the work of new researchers by having experts in the research field mentor them and provide constructive advice, and making it possible for promising new entrants to the field to attend their research conference. Students will make formal presentations about their research, followed by discussion and constructive feedback both from members of the faculty panel and other student participants. The feedback will be geared to helping students understand and articulate how their work is positioned relative to other CSCW research, whether their topics are adequately focused for thesis research projects, whether their methods are correctly chosen and applied, and whether their results are appropriately analyzed and presented. Additionally, the mentors will discuss different aspects of research life, including career paths, funding, work-life balance, etc.\n\nThis 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.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } } ], "meta": { "pagination": { "page": 4, "pages": 1397, "count": 13961 } } }
