The Second Young Investigators Summer Research Institute will be a continuing activity of the Consortium for the Science of Socio-Technical Systems (CSST). CSST was born out of a series of workshops sponsored by NSF involving over forty faculty members in diverse fields, such as social informatics, social computing, CSCW, computational social science, HCI, and information science. Workshop participants, recognizing the growing importance of research on the interplay of humans and technology, or socio-technical systems, proposed the CSST as a mechanism for promoting and supporting important research on social aspects of technological change. An identified high priority, even in advance of the formal creation of CSST, was initiation of an annual series of summer research institutes targeted at people entering the field of sociotechnical systems research. This proposal will support the second of these institutes to be held on the campus of the University of Michigan in July, 2009. The inaugural institute was very successful attracting 137 applications with a selected class of 31 participants and thirteen institute faculty. Student participants will include up to 30 advanced doctoral students and pre-tenure faculty doing research on socio-technical systems. Up to fifteen instructors will be drawn from senior faculty, including participants in the original NSF-supported workshops on sociotechnical systems. This project will support the travel, meals, and accommodations for all Institute participants.Intellectual MeritThe focus of the Institute will be on participants' research programs (e.g., dissertation for doctoral students). The Institute provides both an opportunity for these programs to be shaped through intellectual exchange with experienced researchers as well as enhanced through collaboration with other young researchers. In addition, the Institute will help spread ideas about research on socio-technical systems within the US and around the world.Broader ImpactThe Institute will continue to bring together the best of the next generation of socio-technical system researchers. This allows them to create a social network both among themselves and with several senior researchers, which will play a major role in their professional development and in the evolution of the field of socio-technical systems research. The diversity of Institute participants (e.g., institutional, disciplinary, geographic, gender, minority group status), will broaden participant's perspectives at a critical stage in their careers.

第二届青年研究员夏季研究所将是社会技术系统科学联盟 (CSST) 的一项持续活动。 CSST 诞生于 NSF 赞助的一系列研讨会，涉及社会信息学、社会计算、CSCW、计算社会科学、人机交互和信息科学等不同领域的 40 多名教职人员。研讨会参与者认识到人类与技术或社会技术系统相互作用的研究日益重要，提出将 CSST 作为促进和支持技术变革社会方面重要研究的机制。即使在 CSST 正式成立之前，一项已确定的高度优先事项是针对进入社会技术系统研究领域的人们发起一系列年度夏季研究机构。该提案将支持将于 2009 年 7 月在密歇根大学校园举办的第二届学院。首届学院非常成功地吸引了 137 份申请，选定的班级有 31 名参与者和 13 名学院教员。学生参与者将包括最多 30 名从事社会技术系统研究的高级博士生和预聘教师。最多 15 名讲师将从高级教师中抽取，其中包括最初由 NSF 支持的社会技术系统研讨会的参与者。该项目将为所有研究所参与者提供交通、餐饮和住宿支持。智力优势研究所的重点将放在参与者的研究项目上（例如博士生的论文）。该研究所为这些项目提供了机会，通过与经验丰富的研究人员进行知识交流来塑造这些项目，并通过与其他年轻研究人员的合作来加强这些项目。此外，该研究所将帮助在美国和世界各地传播有关社会技术系统研究的想法。更广泛的影响该研究所将继续汇集下一代社会技术系统研究人员中最优秀的人才。这使他们能够在自己之间以及与几位高级研究人员之间创建一个社交网络，这将在他们的专业发展和社会技术系统研究领域的发展中发挥重要作用。研究所参与者的多样性（例如机构、学科、地理、性别、少数群体地位）将拓宽参与者在职业生涯关键阶段的视角。
