Workshop proposal submission

Please check out the Workshop proposal guidelines
The final workshop agenda will be decided by the NSF CEDAR science steering committee. Based on the range of the topics proposed and the availability of time slots for individual workshops, some proposed workshops may be consolidated at the discretion of the NSF CEDAR Science Steering Committee (CSSC). (see proposal guidelines)

The 2024 CEDAR Workshop will be in-person, but conveners of individual and grand challenge workshops can choose to include virtual components. Conveners should include Zoom links in their online agendas if they choose to include virtual components.

Individual Workshops

Individual Workshops are 1 year efforts focused on a specific topic and the associated science questions. Most workshops are 1 year efforts.

Grand Challenge (GC) Workshops

Grand Challenge (GC) workshop addresses urgent, overarching questions which require a multiyear effort and are of high importance to the NSF CEDAR community. GC workshops are 3 year efforts and should be organized by a diverse team of conveners with a clear schedule and specific goals and topics for the 3 years. Each GC workshop will introduce the topic to the NSF CEDAR community in the plenary session in the first year and provide updates in the 2nd & 3rd, and a summary after year 3. 

Each year one new grand challenge workshop is selected by the NSF CEDAR Science Steering Committee. List of Grand challenge workshops.

What to do if you become ill at the workshop

If you happen to fall ill at any time during the in-person meeting, due to any illness that could spread through social interactions during the Workshop (not just covid-19), it is your responsibility to exercise sound judgment.  Appropriate actions include isolating yourself while infectious, informing others whose health may now be known to be compromised, and participating virtually if you are not too fatigued.

Masks, hand sanitizer, and covid-19 tests (can be delivered to you if asked) are optional at this event, but will be available at the registration desk if needed.

Please visit https://covid19.ca.gov/ for current state orders and updated information on covid19 related information.  Please remember that state and governmental orders provide a minimum standard, and responsible behavior may require measures that exceed these standards.
