The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is pleased to announce the release of the Computational Support for Substance Use Disorder Prevention, Detection, Treatment, and Recovery Workshop Report.
Automated, proximity-based contact tracing apps use Bluetooth to identify who is near them. In theory, this is a great solution that can be efficiently deployed widely (albeit with many privacy and protocol considerations addressed here), however the assumption is that people have access to mobile phones with Bluetooth and use technology similarly.
CRA and CCC are pleased to announce a new Computing Innovation Fellows (CIFellows) Program for 2020. This program recognizes the significant disruption to the academic job search caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic uncertainty and aims to provide a career-enhancing bridge experience for recent and soon-to-be PhD graduates in computing.
The goal of the program is to create career growth opportunities that support maintaining the computing research pipeline. This effort takes inspiration from CRA/CCC’s NSF-funded Computing Innovation Fellows Programs with cohorts starting 2009, 2010, and 2011. The program will offer 2 year postdoctoral opportunities in computing, with cohort activities to support career development and community building for this group of Fellows.
We will be hosting a one-hour CIFellow 2020 Informational Webinar on Tuesday, May 26th at 3:00PM ET. Please register for the webinar here.
The CCC is publishing a series of posts on the CCC Blog about ways in which computing researchers are working to adapt and help with the COVID-19 situation. This article presents a summary of the items posted in this series.
CRA, in consultation with the National Science Foundation, has appointed six new members to the Computing Community Consortium Council: Kathleen Fisher, William D. Gropp, Brian LaMacchia, Melanie Moses, Helen Nissenbaum, and Holly Yanco. Beginning July 1, the new members will each serve three-year terms.
CCC held a session on Using Computing to Sustainably Feed a Growing Population at AAAS 2020.

CRA recently hired Maddy Hunter as a program associate for the CCC subcommittee.
CCC is still working on behalf of the computing research community to catalyze research, but we also want to provide ways to help the community during the health crisis.
AAAS holds an annual meeting to foster a better understanding of science by the press and the public. The CCC has been increasing CS presence at the annual meeting, and you too can submit your ideas to present next year by April 16th, 2020.
Recently, CCC Council Member Katie Siek wrote an op-ed called “Why fitness trackers may not give you all the ‘credit’ you hoped for” in The Conversation that questioned the accuracy of these fitness trackers.
