| Purpose of the ITR PI meeting |
The Information Technology Research (ITR)
program is a unique, interdisciplinary program at the National
Science Foundation (NSF). It is designed to fund innovative
information technology scientific research and education. The
ITR Principal Investigator (PI) meeting is being held to assess
and learn from the experiences of ITR research. This meeting
will foster an exchange of information and collaboration experiences
among ITR PIs and NSF Program Officers to learn the outcomes
of the ITR program. Two main questions are (1) whether there
are significant research contributions within the ITR themes
(software design and quality, scalable information infrastructure,
high-end computing, workforce, and socio-economic impacts of
IT), and (2) whether the ITR program is serving the appropriate
role in ensuring that grantees meaningfully and effectively
collaborate across disciplines of science and engineering.
