CPS: Telecommuting: Week 4
by Habib, Salman 06 Apr '20

06 Apr '20

Hi Everyone, Here we are starting week 4 of telecommuting -- I hope all of you and your family members are doing well. If there any issues, even trivial ones, send Tim and me email or message us on Slack. Thanks for the excellent response to the request for reverse site visit slides. I expect a few last stragglers to come in today and then I will move the lot to the Box folder this evening. Samantha had sent two doodle polls, one for an informal lunch get together and the other for a post-work virtual "happy hour". Looks like Tuesdays (12noon-1pm, Monday had more takers, but we already have a Division meeting on Monday) and Thursdays (5-6pm) will work. We should start up a set of talks, especially from people who have not done those yet. Postdocs would be fine candidates. See you all on BlueJeans in a bit -- Salman

Divisional LDRD footprint
by Habib, Salman 03 Apr '20

03 Apr '20

Hi Everyone, I am trying to understand our Divisional LDRD footprint. Everyone who was funded at any level in FY19 and FY20 by LDRD should put in a short statement about the work and future plans (if any). Also, if you have submitted LDRD proposals for FY21, just a title and the call you are responding to would be great. This is a mirror of the CPS Basecamp message. Please reply in the Basecamp thread. Best Salman

Specifically, the Institute is interested in the use of artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, cloud computing, and change management to mitigate the course and impact of the disease. Argonne employees holding joint appointments with UChicago CASE<https://anl.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=12b0bf5a3c2bf2e87f5cab8a4&id=…> are eligible to submit proposals. Topics for research awards may include but are not limited to the following topics: 1. Applying machine learning/artificial intelligence methods to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic 2. Genome-specific COVID-19 medical protocols, including precision medicine of host responses 3. Biomedical informatics methods for drug design and repurposing 4. Design and sharing of clinical trials for collecting and analyzing data on medications, therapies, and interventions 5. Modeling, simulation, prediction of COVID-19 propagation and efficacy of interventions 6. Logistics and optimization analysis for design of public health strategies and interventions 7. Rigorous approaches to designing sampling and testing strategies 8. Data analytics for COVID-19 research harnessing private and sensitive data, including the role of edge computing/IoT for gathering data 9. Improving societal resilience in response to the spread of COVID-19 pandemic 10. Broader efforts in biomedicine, infectious disease modeling, response logistics and optimization, public health efforts, tools, and methodologies around the containment of rising infectious diseases, and response to pandemics so as to be better prepared for future infectious diseases. The institute will distribute up to $5.8 million in awards ranging from $100,000 to $500,000 each for one year from this first call. In addition to cash awards, C3.ai DTI recipients will have access to significant cloud computing, supercomputing, data access, and AI software resources and technical support through Microsoft and C3.ai. C3.ai, Microsoft, University of Chicago, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the University of California Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon University, the Massachusett Institute of Technology, and Princeton University recently established C3.ai DTI. Its founding mission is to encourage collaborative research in areas that support the transformation and enhancement of the quality of life in societal systems at large. The proposal deadline is May 1, 2020, and awards will be announced by early June. However, proposals submitted by April 15 will be reviewed for potential early award notification. Eligibility and submission questions should be directed to Larry Hill at lhill(a)uchicago.edu<mailto:[email protected]>.

Topics include advice to people just getting started with working remotely, challenges, unforeseen benefits, and opportunities to look for from this experience, with emphasis on issues faced by collaborating teams in computational research. Panelists will make brief introductory comments followed by open discussion. Discussion protocol: Attendees are asked to type in their name and brief question in the Zoom chat panel. We will call on people to ask their question verbally in the order received, curating for uniqueness.
