On February 22-23, CRA held its annual Computing Research Leadership Summit for the senior leadership of CRA member societies (Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, Association for Computing Machinery, CS-Can/Info-Can, IEEE Computer Society, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, and USENIX) and winter board meeting.

Leadership Summit Highlights Several discussions provided useful information on current issues that are of collective importance to the organizations:

Dahlia Sokolov, Staff Director for the Research & Technology Subcommittee of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, shared congressional science priorities that focus on a broad innovation agenda, restoring scientific integrity at federal science agencies and increasing diversity and inclusion in the STEM workforce.

Computing Community Consortium Chair Liz Bradley gave an update on the CRA Quadrennial Papers initiative, through which CRA released a series of white papers that explored areas and issues around computing research with potential to address national priorities. The impact is starting to be seen on current legislation and proposals.

CRA Board Chair Ellen Zegura moderated discussion on what each of the societies are doing around the subject of the societal impact of computing and how the societies can work together on umbrella efforts that cut across organizations. Socially responsible computing is a major theme that emerged from the CRA strategic planning process.

Board Meeting Highlights Two leadership summit sessions were held jointly with the CRA board meeting:

CRA Director of Government Affairs Peter Harsha discussed the current environment in D.C. for science policy, including the new administration prioritizing input from science in policy making, and issues CRA is following- computing and climate science, emerging technologies, socially responsible computing, and the health of the computing research ecosystem.

Margaret Martonosi, Assistant Director for NSF CISE, discussed COVID-19 effects and various actions NSF has taken to mitigate the impacts to the computing community, including supporting the CRA/CCC CIFellows program and greatly expanding REU programs. She also encouraged getting the word out about the CSGrad4US program and the CISE-MSI program, which supports research expansion for Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs). The goal of the CISE-MSI program is to broaden participation by increasing the number of CISE-funded research projects from MSIs.

Strategic Planning Implementation CRA is in the final phase of its strategic planning process, led by Greenway Strategy Group. The strategic planning process has three phases, Analysis, Strategy Development, and Action Planning. Priority outcomes and strategic themes were identified in the Strategy Development Phase, and CRA is currently working on creating action plans for the initiatives identified. The board also discussed possible changes to CRA board governance.

Industry Committee At the July 2020 board meeting, the board approved the formation of the CRA Industry Committee (CRA-I). CRA-I’s mission is to create a computing research ecosystem that focuses on opportunities with industry to leverage the potential synergies among industry, government, and academia for mutual benefit and improved societal outcomes. The committee is currently going through a process

to assess needs through an initial set of interviews with people representing a range of expertise across industry, academia, and government. The committee is also conducting a pilot survey and plans to collaborate with other CRA committees. The board approved funding for a new staff position to support CRA-I activities.

CRA FY22 Executive Committee The CRA board of directors held elections for board officers to serve two- year terms beginning July 1, 2021. Nancy Amato was elected chair; Dan Grossman was elected vice-chair; Ran Libeskind-Hadas was re-elected secretary; and James Allan was re-elected treasurer.

CRA Board Chair Ellen Zegura will end her term at CRA on June 30, 2021. During the meeting, she was presented with a coverstitch machine (complete with a CRA logo attached) as a gift for her service as board chair. She enjoys quilting as a hobby, so we are confident it will be put to good use. CRA is thankful for her outstanding service as board chair for the last two years and board member since 2011. She has served on several committees throughout her time on the board and continues to guide CRA through its strategic planning process.

3 cra.org/crn March 2021 2021 CRA Distinguished Service and A. Nico Habermann Awardees Announced

The CRA board of directors is pleased to announce its selections for the 2021 CRA Awards.

Mary Jane Irwin A. Nico Habermann Award Recipient Emerita Evan Pugh University Professor, Pennsylvania State University

Mary Jane Irwin was selected to receive the 2021 A. Nico Habermann Award in recognition of her more than 30 years of diversity efforts, both in academia at Penn State University and in professional organizations, including the CRA Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research (CRA-W), the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). Her work in these organizations across three decades has increased the number of women and other under- represented groups in computing at universities (as faculty and students) and as fellows and award recipients.

She was a founding member of CRA-W, served as a steering committee member for more than 20 years, and spearheaded many of the activities and initiatives that we now think of as regular events. Irwin served on the ACM Council, as ACM Vice President, and her work on the ACM Fellow Selection Committee helped to double the number of women elected. She was also instrumental in pushing the NAE to diversify its ranks.

Irwin’s commitment to diversity was actually inspired by meetings with A. Nico Habermann himself when she was on the Advisory Board for NSF CISE of which he was Assistant Director.

This award honors the late A. Nico Habermann, who headed NSF’s Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate and was deeply committed to increasing the participation of women and underrepresented minorities in computing research. With this award, CRA recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions aimed at increasing the numbers and/or successes of underrepresented members in the computing research community.

5 cra.org/crn March 2021 Artificial Intelligence is Critical to National Security, Defense, U.S. Economy, and Worthy of Significant New Investment, Congressionally- chartered Commission Argues in Final Report

Nadya T. Bliss, Executive Director of ASU’s Global Security Initiative and CCC Council member, contributed to this article.

The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, a congressionally-chartered committee charged with reviewing AI and related technologies and making recommendations to address U.S. national security and defense needs, recently released its final report, endorsing significant new investments in AI research, strategies for building the AI workforce, and guidance for using AI in warfare while upholding U.S. democratic values. The report is likely to inform policy activity around defense-related AI issues in Congress and at the Department of Defense over the next months and years.
