The Department of Computer Science and Engineering and DO-IT IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking and Technology) at the University of Washington propose to create the AccessComputing Alliance for the purpose of increasing the participation of people with disabilities in computing careers. Alliance partners Gallaudet University, Microsoft, the NSF Regional Alliances for Persons with Disabilities in STEM (hosted by the University of Southern Maine, New Mexico State University, and UW), and SIGACCESS of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and collaborators represent stakeholders from education, industry, government, and professional organizations nationwide. Alliance activities apply proven practices to support persons with disabilities within computing programs. To increase the number of students with disabilities who successfully pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees, the alliance will run college transition and bridge, tutoring, internship, and e-mentoring programs. To increase the capacity of postsecondary computing departments to fully include students with disabilities in coursers and programs, the alliance will form communities of practice, run capacity-building institutes, and develop systemic change indicators for computing departments. To create a nationwide resource to help students with disabilities pursue computing careers and computing educators and employers, professional organizations and other stakeholders to develop more inclusive programs and share effective practices, the alliance will create and maintain a searchable AccessComputing Knowledge Base of FAQs, case studies, and effective/promising practices.These activities will build on existing alliances and resources in a comprehensive, integrated effort. They will create nationwide collaborations among individuals with disabilities, computing professionals, employers, disability providers, and professional organizations to explore the issues that contribute to the underrepresentation of persons with disabilities and to develop, apply and assess interventions. In addition, they will support local and regional efforts to recruit and retain students with disabilities into computing and assist them in institutionalizing and replicating their programs. The alliance will work with other Alliances and organizations that serve women and underrepresented minorities to make their programs accessible to students with disabilities. Finally they will collect and publish research and implementation data to enhance scientific and technological understanding of issues related to the inclusion of people with disabilities in computing.

华盛顿大学的计算机科学与工程系（残疾，机会，互联网工作和技术）建议建立访问计算联盟，以增加残疾人参与计算职业。联盟合作伙伴Gallaudet大学，Microsoft，STEM（由缅因州南部大学，新墨西哥州立大学和UW主办）的NSF区域联盟，以及计算机机械协会（ACM）和合作者的Sigaccess，代表来自教育，工业，政府政府和专业组织的利益相关者。联盟活动采用了良好的实践来支持计算计划中的残疾人。为了增加成功攻读本科和研究生学位的残疾学生人数，联盟将运行大学过渡和桥梁，辅导，实习和电子招待计划。为了提高专上计算部门完全包括在课程和计划中包括残疾学生的能力，联盟将组建实践社区，运营能力建设机构，并为计算部门开发系统性变更指标。为了创建一个全国范围的资源来帮助残疾学生从事计算职业，计算教育者和雇主，专业组织和其他利益相关者，以制定更具包容性的计划并共享有效的实践，联盟将创建和维护可搜索的FAQS，案例研究，案例研究以及有效的活动的访问权限。他们将在残疾人，计算专业人员，雇主，残疾人提供者和专业组织之间建立全国合作，以探索对残疾人的代表性不足的问题，并发展，应用，应用和评估干预措施。 此外，他们将支持地方和地区的努力，以招募和留住残疾学生进行计算，并协助他们制度化和复制他们的计划。该联盟将与其他联盟和组织合作，这些联盟和组织为妇女和代表性不足的少数群体提供服务，以使残疾学生可以访问其计划。最后，他们将收集和发布研究和实施数据，以增强对与残疾人在计算中纳入有关的问题的科学和技术理解。
