The Computing Community Consortium
A Catalyst and Enabler for the
Computing Research Community
Catalyzing the definition of – and providing exposure for – new
research directions, including those that confront national and global
challenges
Communicating with policymakers
Inspiring and growing the community
Growing new leaders
“Just being there” – community leaders who can create and/or seize
opportunities

Structure
Operates as a “standing committee” of the Computing Research
Association (similar to CRA-W)
Funded by NSF under a Cooperative Agreement
Additional funding from NSF and other organizations for specific activities
Led by a broad-based, continually refreshed Council
Chaired by Ed Lazowska and Susan Graham
Staffed by Erwin Gianchandani (Director), Kenneth Hines (Program
Associate), and many members of the CRA staff
