9633299博帕纳，罗伯特波帕纳，拉金德拉大学-圣安东尼奥少数民族学院基础设施：为少数民族学者建立学术管道这个项目建立了一个少数民族学生的管道，重点是通过适当的财政支持和辅导活动留住合格的本科生和研究生。目标是让学生直接参与正在进行的教师研究项目，从而为他们的研究生学习和研究计划做好准备。参与该项目的少数民族研究生除了承担自己的学习和研究义务外，还将帮助教师指导本科生。该项目包括两个主要方面，旨在改善准备攻读研究生课程的少数族裔学生的渠道。第一个目标是积极招收和发展对计算机科学感兴趣的少数族裔学生，提供预科培训、辅导和辅导，在大学预科和低级本科生水平。第二个目标是向高年级和研究生提供资金支持，并增加对教师研究的参与，以改善少数族裔的留住和研究生入学。学生将参与五个重要领域的教师研究：1)高性能科学计算应用程序的并行和分布式算法设计；2)软件可视化和程序执行监控；3)并行编译技术；4)网络路由和调度算法；5)并行和分布式模拟技术。

9633299 Hiromoto, Robert Boppana, Rajendra University of Texas - San Antonio CISE Minority Institutions Infrastructure: Building an Academic Pipeline for Minority Scholars This project builds a pipeline of minority students, focusing on the retention of qualified undergraduate and graduate students by appropriate financial support and mentoring activities. The goal is to involve students directly in ongoing faculty research projects and thus prepare them for graduate studies and research programs. Graduate minority students involved in the program will help faculty in mentoring undergraduates, in addition to their own studies and research obligations. The project encompasses two main thrust designed to improve the pipeline of minority students prepared for graduate programs. The first goal is to aggressively recruit and develop minority students interested in computer science by providing preparatory training, tutoring, and mentoring at the pre-college and lower-division undergraduate levels. The second goal is to provide upper-division and graduate students with funding support and increased involvement in faculty research in order to improve minority retention and graduate enrollment. Students will be involved in faculty research within five important areas: 1) parallel and distributed algorithm design for applications in high-performance scientific computing 2) software visualization, and program execution monitoring; 3) parallel compiler technology; 4) network routing and scheduling algorithms; 5) parallel and distributed simulation techniques.
