The goal of this project is to increase the number of women entering graduate programs in CISE areas by providing opportunities for female undergraduates to be involved in research projects with mentors at major research universities so as to experience research and graduate life. The Distributed Mentor Project (DMP) has been running successfully since 1994 and CRA proposes to build on that success by significantly increasing the number of students participating in DMP. To do this, CRA will initiate a new outreach program targeted at undergraduate institutions and universities without active research programs. The project will initially provide support for 30 students and will increase that number by 5 each year until, by the fifth year, 45 students will be working with experienced qualified mentors during the summer months. In addition, the project includes a significant evaluation component, a plan for dissemination of the results of the evaluation, and a plan to secure long-term funding and therefore institutionalization of the project from industry and other foundations.

该项目的目标是通过为女性本科生提供机会，与主要研究型大学的导师一起参与研究项目，从而体验研究和研究生生活，从而增加进入CISE领域研究生课程的女性人数。自1994年以来，分布式导师项目（DMP）一直在成功地运行，CRA建议通过显著增加参与DMP的学生数量，在这一成功的基础上再创辉煌。为此，CRA将针对没有积极研究项目的本科院校和大学启动一项新的外展计划。该项目最初将为30名学生提供支持，并将每年增加5名，直到第五年，45名学生将在夏季与经验丰富的合格导师一起工作。此外，该项目还包括一个重要的评价组成部分，一个传播评价结果的计划，以及一个从工业和其他基金会获得长期资金从而使该项目制度化的计划。
