This project will include a series of events to gather research community input on the NSF Big Idea: Future of Work at the Human-Technology Frontier (FW-HTF), focusing specifically on the needs and objectives of the NSF Convergence Accelerator program. The overarching goal is to help refine one or more FW-HTF use-inspired research topics that could be appropriate for a future NSF Convergence Accelerator funding track. Participants in this event series will come from large research universities, emerging research institutions, companies, government agencies, and others interested in partnering to advance FW-HTF and NSF Convergence Accelerator initiatives. Together, the participants will attempt to identify:- Research topics that are of greatest interest to the private and are most likely to be fruitful for the NSF Convergence Accelerator use-inspired model of support. - Methods that the Convergence Accelerator program can adapt to expand and enhance academic-corporate collaborations- Strategies for the NSF Convergence Accelerator program to help catalyze the application and transition to practice of research results.This FW-HTF event series began with a kick-off event organized by UIDP at an international workshop in Oxford, UK (July 2019) where academic, corporate, and government decision-makers convened to identify goals for heightened academic-corporate engagement. During the Fall of 2019 UIDP will organize a series of six "Listening Sessions" at locations across the United States where researchers and practitioners from the private sector as well as other stakeholders will convene and share their perspectives. These events will be organized in conjunction with academic and corporate sponsors, event hosts, and technical experts, as well as the input of NSF. The event series will conclude with a conference in Massachusetts in November 2019. The outcome of this series will be a set of actionable recommendations for the NSF Convergence Accelerator program and the organizations represented at the events focused on use-inspired FW-HTF topics that will provide mutual benefit and interest for collaboration between academics, practitioners from the private sector, and other stakeholders.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.

该项目将包括一系列活动，以收集研究界对 NSF 大理念：人类技术前沿工作的未来 (FW-HTF) 的意见，特别关注 NSF 融合加速器计划的需求和目标。总体目标是帮助完善一个或多个 FW-HTF 使用启发的研究主题，这些主题可能适合未来 NSF 融合加速器资助轨道。该系列活动的参与者将来自大型研究型大学、新兴研究机构、公司、政府机构以及其他有兴趣合作推进 FW-HTF 和 NSF 融合加速器计划的机构。参与者将共同尝试确定：- 私人最感兴趣且最有可能对 NSF 融合加速器使用启发的支持模型产生成果的研究主题。 - 融合加速器计划可用于扩大和加强学术与企业合作的方法 - NSF 融合加速器计划帮助促进研究成果的应用和转化为实践的策略。该 FW-HTF 活动系列从一个启动开始由 UIDP 在英国牛津举行的国际研讨会上组织的活动（2019 年 7 月），学术界、企业和政府决策者齐聚一堂，确定强化目标学术与企业的参与。 2019 年秋季期间，UIDP 将在美国各地组织一系列六次“聆听会议”，来自私营部门的研究人员和从业者以及其他利益相关者将聚集在一起并分享他们的观点。这些活动将与学术和企业赞助商、活动主办方、技术专家以及 NSF 的投入共同组织。该系列活动将于 2019 年 11 月在马萨诸塞州举行的会议结束。该系列的成果将是针对 NSF 融合加速器计划和参加活动的组织提出一系列可行的建议，重点关注受使用启发的 FW-HTF 主题，这些建议将在为学术界、私营部门从业者和其他利益相关者之间的合作提供互利和利益。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查进行评估，被认为值得支持 标准。
