Backed by funding from the National Science Foundation, the Computing Research Association (CRA) and the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) announced a Computing Innovation Fellows (CIFellows) Program for 2020 and 2021. This program recognized the significant disruption to the academic job search caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic uncertainty and aimed to provide a career-enhancing bridge experience for new PhD graduates in computing. The CIFellows were invited to present their research during a poster session at the NITRD 30th Anniversary Symposium. Participants and their posters are below.
