The Information Technology Association of America (ITAA), the nation's leading IT association representing more than 500 corporate members from the information technology industry, proposes a pilot initiative to establish a framework for substantial engagement of its member companies with a core group of minority-serving institutions representing the more than 105 Hispanic Serving Institutions, 203 Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and 32 Tribal Colleges and Universities across the U.S. This effort will be directly responsive to the recommendations of the bipartisan Commission on the Advancement of Women and Minorities in Science, Engineering and Technology (CAWMSET) with respect to improving access to and the quality of higher education for groups underrepresented in science, engineering, and technology. The broad goal is to link the resources and expertise of ITAA and its members with those minority-serving institutions demonstrating the commitment and capacity to improve the technological and pedagogical infrastructure devoted to student learning, faculty and student research, and administrative processes. Through this initiative, ITAA will pursue two major activities:1. Assist in developing and implementing customized campus technology plans for specific schools through:a) Identification, assessment, and refinement of user needs;b) Recommendation and technical assistance in procurement of baseline systems and technology2. Provide knowledge enhancement activities through:a) Student and faculty internships in ITAA member firmsb) Recommendation of specific curricular and research activity enhancementsc) E-mentoring of students, faculty, and administratorsd) ITAA practitioners-on-loan as potential academic and administrative consultantsThe ITAA project will complement other NSF grants, including EDUCAUSE (Award # 9980537) and the Council on Competitiveness (Award# 0110028). This project will also build upon the quality assurance provided by merit review of proposals submitted to the HBCU-UP and TCUP programs at NSF.

美国信息技术协会(ITAA)是美国领先的信息技术协会，代表着来自信息技术行业的500多家公司成员。该协会提出了一项试点倡议，旨在建立一个框架，让其成员公司与代表全美105多所拉美裔服务机构、203所历史上的黑人学院和大学以及32所部落学院和大学的少数族裔服务机构的核心群体建立实质性接触的框架。这一努力将直接回应两党提高妇女和少数族裔科学、工程和技术委员会(CAWMSET)关于改善科学、工程和技术领域代表性不足群体接受高等教育的机会和质量的建议。和技术。其广泛目标是将国际学生协会及其成员的资源和专门知识与那些为少数群体服务的机构联系起来，表明它们致力于改善致力于学生学习、教员和学生研究以及行政程序的技术和教学基础设施。通过这一举措，ITAA将开展两项主要活动：1.协助制定和实施特定学校的定制校园技术计划：a)确定、评估和完善用户需求；b)在采购基准系统和技术方面提供建议和技术援助2.通过以下方式提供知识增强活动：a)学生和教师在国际教师协会成员公司的实习；b)具体课程和研究活动改进的建议c)对学生、教师和管理人员的电子指导d)国际教师协会借调从业者作为潜在的学术和行政顾问国际教师协会项目将补充国家科学基金会的其他赠款，包括EDUCAUSE(9980537号奖)和竞争力委员会(0110028号奖)。该项目还将建立在对提交给国家科学基金会HBCU-UP和TCUP计划的建议进行功绩审查所提供的质量保证的基础上。
