Computing Community Consortium Blog

The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.

CIFellows 2021 Webinar Thursday, April 15th, 2:30 PM ET

Last week the Computing Research Association (CRA) and Computing Community Consortium (CCC) announced the Computing Innovation Fellows (CIFellows) Program for 2021.

This program recognizes the significant disruption to the academic job search caused by the pandemic and associated economic uncertainty and aims to help ensure continuity of the research pipeline through disruptions related to COVID-19. 

Awards will support an individual for 2 years as a postdoctoral fellow (“CIFellow”) at a host institution of their choosing. CRA will issue subawards to the Host Institution to cover an annual postdoc salary of $75,000, plus fringe and indirect costs (capped at 35%). CIFellows will have the ability to select a Fall 2021 or Winter 2022 start date for their CIFellowship. 

Learn about the program on the CIFellows website and view the application guidelines here.

We will be hosting a one-hour CIFellow 2021 Informational Webinar on Thursday, April 15th at 2:30PM ET. There will be an introduction by NSF, a presentation of the program, concluding with a Q&A session. Please register here for the webinar. 

Please note that the webinar will be recorded and posted on the CIFellows 2021 webpage after the event.
