项目摘要

This Virtual Organization (VO) will facilitate communication and collaboration among CISE scientists currently involved in pandemic research through the NSF RAPID program. With the guidance of a Steering Committee composed of members from industry, academia, and government agencies, the VO will encourage the sharing of research results in a way not available without a concerted effort. The depth and breadth of multi-disciplinary collaboration enabled by this VO will be extended to include researchers, educators, and students interested in general topics related to pandemic planning and resilience. Utilizing a variety of dissemination platforms, the VO will harness the synergies of the CISE RAPID research programs to facilitate scientific advances and advance public health in the US and around the world.The VO will: (i) facilitate the collection of a comprehensive collection of data sets, software tools, and documentation that can be shared by the research community; (ii) identification of new research efforts resulting from the cross fertilization of ideas from various subdisciplines of CISE research; (iii) a research roadmap that proposes research directions in CISE sciences that can lead to effective methods to prepare for and recover from future pandemics; and (iv) training and other pedagogic materials needed for educating future generations of scientists in topics related to pandemic preparedness, recovery, and resilience. The increased levels of collaboration fostered by this VO have the potential to result in innovative computational methods and technologies for dealing with future pandemics. The research roadmap will include identification of key research topics, risks, and gaps in the current R&D landscape that will significantly benefit the research community and serve as the blueprint for researchers, funding agencies, and policy makers on the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in developing break-through solutions for pandemic resilience. While it is not possible to prevent pandemics completely, developing resilience techniques will enable society to prepare for and cope with the aftermath in a more effective manner.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.

这个虚拟组织（VO）将促进目前通过NSF Rapid计划参与大流行研究的CISE科学家之间的沟通和协作。在由行业，学术界和政府机构的成员组成的指导委员会的指导下，VO将鼓励在没有一致努力的情况下以无法获得的方式分享研究结果。该VO的多学科合作的深度和广度将扩展到包括研究人员，教育工作者和对与大流行计划和韧性有关的一般主题感兴趣的学生。 VO将利用各种传播平台，利用CISE快速研究计划的协同作用来促进科学进步并提高世界和世界各地的公共卫生。（ii）确定由Cise Research的各个子学科的思想交叉施肥所产生的新研究工作；（iii）一项研究路线图，提出了CISE科学的研究指示，该方向可以导致有效的方法为将来的大流行技术做准备和恢复；（iv）培训和其他教育材料，以教育子孙后代的科学家就大流行，恢复和韧性有关的主题。这种VO促进的协作水平的提高有可能导致创新的计算方法和技术来处理未来的大流行。研究路线图将包括当前研发景观中关键的研究主题，风险和差距的识别，这将极大地使研究社区受益，并作为研究人员，资助机构以及政策制定者的蓝图，以及政策制定者在开发有关流行稳定性的突破解决方案中的信息和通信技术（ICT）的作用。尽管不可能完全预防大流行技术，但发展的弹性技术将使社会能够以更有效的方式为后果做准备并应对后果。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准通过评估来进行评估。
