摘要：EIA 0335713，科罗拉多大学，R. Schnabel， pii这项规划拨款为建立国家妇女与信息技术中心的规划工作提供了部分支持。这项工作将形成中心的商业计划，包括中心的愿景、目标、组织结构、资助模式等，并为中心的启动和运营准备大规模资助（联邦、工业和个人）的提案。与大学毕业的女性人数相比，从事信息技术学科和职业的女性比例相对较低。拟议中的国家中心有望汇集现有的研究，加强工业界和学术界之间的联系，提供评估工具和服务，并提供项目的比较分析。

ABSTRACT: EIA 0335713, Univ of Colorado, R. Schnabel, PIThis planning grant award provides partial support for planning work toward the formation of a National Center for Women and Information Technology. This work will result in a business plan for the center including the center vision, goals, organizational structure, funding model, etc., and preparation of proposals for large-scale funding (federal, industrial, and individual) for launching and operating the center. The percentage of women in information technology disciplines and occupations is relatively low as compared with the number of women graduating from colleges. The proposed national center is expected to bring existing research together, strengthen ties between industry and academia, provide assessment tools and services and provide comparative analysis of programs.
