The IEC Brief: February 26, 2021
CISE Workshop
You are invited to an NSF-funded workshop on proven principles and methods for "making the leap to large."
Society depends on large-scale research with visible impacts on science, innovation, workforce and economic development. You are invited to an NSF-funded workshop on proven principles and methods for "making the leap to large."

This virtual workshop takes place in seven weekly 1.5 hour sessions on Tuesdays from 12:00-1:30 EDT beginning April 6th. You and up two of your collaborators will learn to deliver on intellectual merits and broader impacts at scale for diverse stakeholders. You will also learn to avoid submitting a "large" proposal (particularly in the $4-$10 million range) that is just sets of smaller proposals cobbled together. The sessions feature remarks by Margaret Martonosi, AD of NSF’s CISE Directorate, and by Gurdip Singh, CISE/CNS Division Director.

Each session will also feature comments by leaders of successful CISE-funded large-scale research projects. Building on previous successful NSF workshops, sessions will be led by Nick Berente, University of Notre Dame; Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld, Brandeis University; John L. King, University of Michigan; and Susan Winter, University of Maryland.
