The Collaboration Challenge
Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate 6
Collaboration Benefits ( Venice, October 2001)
– Large-scale, global research challenges can be addressed
– Exchange/gain expertise and knowledge
– New perspectives on the research phenomenon
– Economies of scope and scale
– Sustainability of research efforts
Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate 7
Persistent Issues
• Intellectual Property Rights
• Timing of collaborations
• Timing of actual award
• Oversight and management from the funding perspective
Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate 8
“Distance matters”
• Difficult to establish mutual regard and common ground, increased misunderstanding (Cramton, 2001)
• Delays in project schedule (Herbsleb et al.,
2000) and poor monitoring of progress (Weisband 2001)
• Information and awareness distributed unevenly (Olson et al, 2001)
Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate 9
Potential Collaboration
• A lot of models, many creative approaches• Many emerging areas of collaboration
– Digital Government– Cyberinfrastructure– Cybertrust– Critical Infrastructure Protection, Embedded Systems– Digital Society– E-health– EcoInformatics/Environmental Research
Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate 10
Examples of Collaboration
US grantees & EC Contractors• Grantee workshops and conferences for agenda
setting and future collaborations– E-business, e-work (2001, 2002 in Europe)– Open Source Software (2002 in US & Europe)– Critical Infrastructure Protection (1998, 2000, 2002 in
Europe and US)– Embedded Systems (2001, 2002, 2003)
• Joint programs– Multi-lingual information access and management
(1999)• NSF supplements to grants
– For US researchers to work jointly with IST projects– For researchers to hold joint workshops
Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate 11
Mechanisms of Collaboration
• Supplements to US awards and modifications in scope of work in EC projects; the example of ITR at NSF.
• Workshop grants • Planning grants
• A Model Joint Partnership Agreement
Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate 12
NSF/ITR and FP6/IST Research Topics
6 Linked Research Themes
– Critical Infrastructure protection– Secure, networked, embedded systems– E-business– E-government– Crisis management– E-health
