The Multidisciplinary Research Opportunities for Women (MRO-W) demonstration project seeks to train individuals traditionally underrepresented in computer science to create and use cyberinfrastructure in other areas of science and engineering. Each team funded under our program will contain both computer scientists and non-computer scientists at both the undergraduate level and the researchers leading the project who will be providing mentorship in the use of enabling cyberinfrastructure. For example, a project for using sensor arrays to construct an artificial nose might consist of a computer science major, a chemistry major, a computer science professor and a chemistry professor.This demonstration project has two goals:1.) To prepare individuals who are traditionally underrepresented in computer science activities to use, support, deploy, develop and design cyberinfrastructure, and2.) To engage new communities in science and engineering to participate in cyberinfrastructure activities by serving as a catalyst for forming new multidisciplinary partnerships.This program will provide funding for ten such teams of undergraduates and will run from Fall 2007 through December 2008. This will ensure enough time in Spring/Summer of 2007 to advertise and collect applications. Then in the Fall of 2007, students on the team can start research and begin the necessary coursework for the multidisciplinary project. They will then spend Spring and Summer of 2008 as active participants on the project. During the fall of 2008 we will evaluate the project's success.Intellectual Merit: These activities will 1) Increase the participation of women in cyberinfrastructure activities in the research enterprise; 2) Engage women in other areas of science and engineering toparticipate, use, develop and deploy cyberinfrastructure in their research; and 3) Encourage multidisciplinary research and education that better integrates the use of cyberinfrastructure into the application area, and serves as a catalyst for new research.Broader Impact: In addition to addressing the specific issues of training researchers in multidisciplinary research involving the cyberinfrastructure, this project addresses a larger goal. It seeks to increase the number of women not just in cyberinfrastructure and computer science, but in other sciences, to become actively engaged in research.

妇女多学科研究机会（MRO-W）示范项目旨在培训传统上在计算机科学领域代表性不足的个人，以创建和使用其他科学和工程领域的网络基础设施。在我们的计划下资助的每个团队将包含计算机科学家和非计算机科学家在本科水平和研究人员领导的项目谁将提供指导使用使网络基础设施。例如，一个利用传感器阵列构建人工鼻子的项目可能由计算机科学专业的学生、化学专业的学生、计算机科学教授和化学教授组成。为传统上在计算机科学活动中代表性不足的个人做好准备，以使用，支持，部署，开发和设计网络基础设施，以及2）。通过作为形成新的多学科合作伙伴关系的催化剂，吸引科学和工程领域的新社区参与网络基础设施活动。该计划将为10个这样的本科生团队提供资金，并将从2007年秋季持续到2008年12月。这将确保2007年春/夏有足够的时间宣传和收集申请。然后在2007年秋季，团队中的学生可以开始研究并开始多学科项目的必要课程。然后，他们将在2008年春季和夏季作为该项目的积极参与者。智力优势：这些活动将：1）增加妇女在研究企业网络基础设施活动中的参与; 2）吸引其他科学和工程领域的妇女在其研究中参与、使用、开发和部署网络基础设施;（3）鼓励多学科研究和教育，将网络基础设施的使用更好地融入应用领域，并成为新研究的催化剂。除了解决在涉及网络基础设施的多学科研究中培训研究人员的具体问题外，该项目还涉及一个更大的目标。它不仅寻求增加网络基础设施和计算机科学领域的妇女人数，而且还寻求增加其他科学领域的妇女人数，以积极参与研究。
