9633159埃辛，伊莱恩·菲尔尔德，维维安·菲斯克大学对CISE少数民族机构基础设施拨款的建议：扩大少数民族管道：C.S.在菲斯克大学，一个拥有69.8%女学生的小型HBCU-MI在许多科学学科培养出高素质的毕业生方面享有卓越的声誉。因此，菲斯克处于有利的位置，可以在全国努力增加计算机科学领域的非裔美国人和女性人数方面发挥重要作用。该项目的目的是设计一项发展人力和技术基础设施的五年计划，以使FISK成为吸引和留住女性和非裔美国计算机科学学生的全国典范。为了实现这一目标，北卡罗来纳农业与技术州立大学的贝林和门罗建议解决三个主要项目组成部分：招聘、指导和研究生学习(《计算研究新闻》，1995年1月)。不是针对学生经历的孤立方面，而是提出了一个广泛的战略，管理从高中到职业生涯的所有阶段的学生进步。招聘是通过外展和桥梁计划，以及扩大计算机科学专门的招聘努力来解决的。留任战略包括所有级别的奖学金和指导。设立研究生学位课程和本科生研究课程是该计划的组成部分。增强的基础设施支持教师研究项目的扩展，这些项目是学生研究活动的基础。

9633159 Eschen, Elaine Fielder, Vivian Fisk University Proposal for CISE Minority Institutions Infrastructure Grant: Expanding the Minority Pipeline: C.S. at Fisk University Fisk University, a small HBCU-MI with 69.8% female students has an outstanding reputation of producing highly qualified graduates in many scientific disciplines. As such, Fisk is excellently situated to be instrumental in the national effort to increase the numbers of African-Americans and women in computer science. The purpose of this project is to design a five-year plan for the development of the human and technological infrastructure necessary for Fisk to be a national model for the attraction and retention of female and African-American computer science students. To attain this goal Bellin and Monroe of North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University recommend that three main program components be addressed: recruiting, mentoring and graduate study (Computing Research News, Jan. 95). Instead of targeting isolated aspects of the student experience, a broad strategy that manages all stages of student progress from high school to professional career is proposed. Recruitment is addressed by outreach and bridge programs, and expanded computer science specific recruitment efforts. Retention strategies include scholarships and mentoring at all levels. The establishment of a graduate degree program and under-graduate research programs is an integral part of the plan. The enhanced infrastructure supports the expansion of faculty research programs which are the basis for student research activities.
