The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Center for Advancing Science & Engineering Capacity proposes to develop and execute a 3-year evaluation of the Alliance component of the NSF Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) program. The Capacity Center seeks to (1) reduce underrepresentation of women of all racial or ethnic groups and those from traditionally underserved groups (African American, Latino, and American Indian, and persons with disabilities) in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and (2) promote structural changes that grow the capacity of institutions to aid the successful entry of all graduates into postgraduate study and the technical workforce. This proposed evaluation - to be done in collaboration with the evaluation teams from each Alliance - will illuminate the wisdom of practice on "what works" and "what doesn't work" and make these lessons accessible to practitioners for their own local adaptation as alliances that sustain broadening participation in computing. It hopes to address questions such as How is BPC affecting the capacity of the community to broaden participation from education to workplace? What practices seem promising for whom and in what settings? How are relationships among partners maturing, being leveraged, and expanding the sphere of influence within the national computing community?

美国科学促进会（AAAS）推进科学工程能力中心提议对NSF扩大参与计算（BPC）计划的联盟组成部分进行为期3年的评估。能力中心的目标是：（1）减少所有种族或族裔群体以及传统上得不到充分服务的群体中妇女的代表性不足（非裔美国人，拉丁美洲人和美洲印第安人，以及残疾人）在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM），以及（2）促进结构性改革，提高机构的能力，以帮助所有毕业生顺利进入研究生学习和技术劳动力队伍。这一拟议的评价将与每个联盟的评价小组合作进行，将阐明关于“哪些可行”和“哪些不可行”的实践智慧，并使从业人员能够获得这些经验教训，以便他们作为维持扩大参与计算的联盟在当地进行调整。它希望解决这样的问题，如BPC如何影响社区的能力，以扩大从教育到工作场所的参与？哪些做法对谁和在什么情况下有希望？合作伙伴之间的关系是如何成熟的，如何得到利用，如何扩大国家计算社区的影响范围？
