Core activities


Strengthen research and education in the computing fields

working to influence policy that impacts computing research

encouraging the development of human resourcescontributing to the cohesiveness of the professional community

Collect and disseminate information about the importance and state of computing research

Mission + activities


The Computing Community Consortium


NSF leaders and computing research leaders had similar deep concerns about computing:

Failure to articulate and coalesce around exciting research visions in computer science that could galvanize the public, policymakers, researchers, and studentsNeed to groom the future leadership of the fieldDecrease in student interest

Concerns in the mid-2000s...


Increased focus by NSF leaders and computing research leaders in academia & industryA Computing Community Consortium solicitation & proposal

“[NSF] will support the CCC as a community proxy responsible for facilitating the conceptualization and design of promising infrastructure-intensive projects...”“The purpose of the CCC is to provide a voice for the national computing research community. The CCC will facilitate the development of a bold, multi-themed vision for computing research and education... [communicating] that vision to ... major stakeholders.”

...Led to the need for a “CCC”...


To catalyze the computing research community to consider such questions

To envision long-range, more audacious research challengesTo build momentum around such visionsTo state them in compelling waysTo move them towards funded initiativesTo ensure “science oversight” of large-scale initiatives

A “cooperative agreement” with NSFClose coordination

...And NSF asked CRA to create it
