Workshop:Informational Meetings on Broadening Participation in Computing and General NSF Proposal Guidelines

伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校获得资助，就新的CISE扩大计算参与（BPC）倡议举行了两次信息会议。为了产生最大的影响，BPC的目标是建立广泛的机构和组织联盟，这些机构和组织将设计和实施全面的计划，以解决计算学科中代表性不足的问题。这些联盟将把高等院校、中学、政府、行业、专业协会和其他非营利组织联合起来。这些会议的目的是向参与者提供有关项目的信息，并使他们能够见面传播有关成功项目的信息，并建立将导致形成更大联盟的联系。第一次会议是于2005年4月13日在马里兰州巴尔的摩举行的面对面会议，第二次会议是于2005年4月20日举行的访问网格虚拟会议。

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign was funded to hold two informational meetings on the new CISE Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) initiative. In order to have the most impact, BPC aims to build broad Alliances of institutions and organizations that will design and carry out comprehensive programs that address underrepresentation in the computing disciplines. These Alliances will join academic institutions of higher learning with secondary schools, government, industry, professional societies, and other not-for-profit organizations. The purpose of these meetings is provide participants with information about the program, and to enable them to meet for dissemination of information about successful programs and to establish connections that will lead to the formation of larger Alliances. The first meeting is an in-person meeting on April 13, 2005 in Baltimore, MD and the second is an Access Grid, virtual meeting on April 20, 2005.
