Well-run national and institutional cyberinfrastructure (CI) is essential to the advancement of solutions at the frontiers of all science and engineering disciplines. The Cyberinfrastructure Leadership Academy (CILA) brings together senior and emerging CI leaders, to provide valuable mentoring and peer-mentoring opportunities, with the goal of preparing emerging CI leaders to take on national and institutional CI leadership roles. This workshop’s objective is to build on the success of previous CILA workshops, focusing specifically on CI leadership for team science, especially grand challenge projects such as NSF’s 10 Big Ideas. This workshop’s goals are (1) to prepare mid-career emerging CI leaders to take on national CI leadership, particularly team science and grand challenge CI leadership, and (2) to mentor CI leaders from traditionally underrepresented populations and institutions. Support for a diverse group of mid-career leaders will bolster career development and networking opportunities aimed at reducing attrition and broadening the pipeline of future CI senior leadership.The CILA workshop addresses key needs for a critical stage in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) research CI workforce pipeline, the development of senior CI leaders. This workshop is particularly timely given that longstanding national CI leaders are retiring without a clear pool of successors or pathway of succession for under-represented talent. The burgeoning computing and data-intensive research community depends heavily on senior CI leaders, not only to oversee research CI design, development, implementation, and facilitation, but also to shape the research CI ecosystem and agenda, both locally at their own institutions and especially nationally. Crucial to surviving this expertise drain is capturing as much of that expertise as possible before it is irretrievably lost. A valuable mechanism for this is to establish mentoring relationships between senior CI leaders and emerging mid-career CI leaders, because these relationships not only will enable the transfer of knowledge, experience, and wisdom, but also will solidify the ability of the emerging CI leaders to continue to draw on the expertise of the senior CI leaders even after they retire. By co-locating this workshop with a Coalition for Academic Scientific Computation (CASC) meeting, participating emerging CI leaders will have an expanded opportunity for peer-mentoring, because CASC serves as the de facto professional society for institutional CI leaders. CASC has committed to accept all CILA workshop participants who are non-CASC members as guests for the associated CASC meeting, at no registration charge. This workshop grant covers the travel expenses of a cohort, for both this workshop and the associated CASC meeting. CASC provides opportunities both to sustain these activities and to broaden their impact.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.

运行良好的国家和机构网络基础设施 (CI) 对于推动所有科学和工程学科前沿的解决方案至关重要。网络基础设施领导学院 (CILA) 汇集了高级和新兴的 CI 领导者，提供宝贵的指导和同行指导。机会，目标是让新兴 CI 领导者承担国家和机构 CI 领导角色。本次研讨会的目标是在之前 CILA 研讨会成功的基础上，特别关注团队科学的 CI 领导力，特别是诸如此类的重大挑战项目。 NSF 的 10 大理念是：(1) 培养职业生涯中期的新兴 CI 领导者，以承担国家 CI 领导力，特别是团队科学和重大挑战 CI 领导力，以及 (2) 指导来自传统上代表性不足的人群和机构的 CI 领导者。对不同群体的职业中期领导者的支持将促进职业发展和人脉机会，旨在减少人员流失并拓宽未来 CI 高级领导的渠道。CILA 研讨会满足了科学、技术、工程和技术领域关键阶段的关键需求。数学（STEM）研究 CI 劳动力管道，高级 CI 领导者的发展 鉴于长期的国家 CI 领导者正在退休，而没有明确的继任者或代表性不足的人才的继任途径。 - 密集型研究社区在很大程度上依赖于高级 CI 领导者，不仅要监督研究型 CI 的设计、开发、实施和促进，而且还要塑造研究型 CI 生态系统和议程，这对于本地机构乃至全国的生存至关重要。这种专业知识的流失是在专业知识无法挽回地流失之前尽可能多地获取这些专业知识，为此，一个有价值的机制是在高级 CI 领导者和新兴的职业生涯中期 CI 领导者之间建立指导关系，因为这些关系不仅能够实现专业知识的转移。通过与学术科学计算联盟 (CASC) 联合举办本次研讨会，不仅可以增强新兴 CI 领导者的知识、经验和智慧，还可以继续利用高级 CI 领导者的专业知识。 ) ) 会议上，与会的新兴 CI 领导者将有扩大同行指导的机会，因为 CASC 作为机构 CI 领导者事实上的专业协会，已承诺接受所有非 CASC 成员的 CILA 研讨会参与者作为相关 CASC 会议的嘉宾，无需支付注册费。该研讨会补助金涵盖了本次研讨会和相关 CASC 会议的旅费，为维持这些活动并扩大其影响提供了机会。该奖项的法定使命是通过评估获得支持。基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
