Auburn University proposes African-American Researchers in Computing Sciences (AARCS), a program that aims to broaden the participation of African-Americans at the levels of tenure track faculty and research scientist in the computing sciences. African-American students across the Southeast will be exposed to role models, research, and graduate school opportunities, as well as mentoring. All activities will be specifically designed to address the barriers and disbeliefs, concerns, and misunderstandings about computing sciences faculty and research. The activities will include a series of targeted presentations by African-American computing sciences faulty and graduate students at HBCUs, a Future Faculty Mentoring Program, and an annual AARCS mini-conference hosted at Auburn University. The presentations at HBCUs will provide undergraduates with mentoring, and information on research careers. The Future Faculty Mentoring Program will provide advanced graduate students with e-mentoring on academic careers, and the AARCS mini-conference will be a research and skill building conference for undergraduates and graduate students. Although African-Americans are the target group for this program, the AARCS program will also serve as a model that can be used to target other underrepresented groups.

奥本大学提出了非裔美国人计算科学研究人员(AARCS)，该计划旨在扩大非裔美国人在计算科学领域终身教职教师和研究科学家级别的参与。东南部的非裔美国学生将获得榜样、研究、研究生院的机会以及指导。所有活动都将专门设计，以解决对计算科学教员和研究的障碍和怀疑、担忧和误解。这些活动将包括由HBCU的非裔美国计算科学有缺陷的学生和研究生进行的一系列有针对性的演讲，未来教师指导计划，以及在奥本大学主办的AARCS年度小型会议。HBCU的演讲将为本科生提供指导，以及有关研究职业的信息。未来教师指导计划将为高级研究生提供学术生涯的电子指导，AARCS迷你会议将是面向本科生和研究生的研究和技能培养会议。虽然非洲裔美国人是这项计划的目标群体，但AARCS计划也将作为一个模式，可用于针对其他代表性不足的群体。
