ADMI stands for the Association of Department Heads of Computer Science and Engineering Departments at Minority Institutions and it was initially organized in 1989 at an NSF-funded workshop. Its fundamental purpose is to increase the number of minorities in computer science and computer engineering through a variety of activities including the development of research and education programs. With NSF support over the past two years ADMI has been able to conduct four proposal writing workshops for minority institutions, to initiate a visiting scientists program, to incorporate as a not-for-profit corporation, to conduct a membership drive, and to begin to develop an industrial affiliates program. ADMI currently represents about 75 of the 117 minority institutions which have departments or programs in computer science or computer engineering. The purpose of the grant is to provide enough additional startup support to ADMI for one year to allow it to become self-sufficient. ADMI will organize and run a conference on resource issues for minority institutions, develop research and educational programs for its member institution (including mentoring programs), develop fund raising mechanisms, and prepare a proposal for the Alliances for Minority Participation program.

ADMI代表少数民族院校计算机科学和工程系系主任协会，最初是在1989年由NSF资助的研讨会上组织的。它的根本目的是通过各种活动，包括发展研究和教育方案，增加计算机科学和计算机工程领域的少数族裔人数。在过去两年中，在NSF的支持下，ADMI已经能够为少数族裔机构举办四次提案撰写研讨会，启动访问科学家计划，作为非营利性公司成立公司，开展会员活动，并开始制定产业附属计划。ADMI目前代表117家少数族裔机构中的约75家，这些机构设有计算机科学或计算机工程系或项目。这笔赠款的目的是为ADMI提供足够的额外启动支持，为期一年，使其能够自给自足。ADMI将为少数族裔机构组织和举办一次关于资源问题的会议，为其成员机构开发研究和教育计划(包括指导计划)，开发资金筹集机制，并为少数族裔参与联盟计划准备一份提案。
