The University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez (UPRM) and the University of Houston Downtown (UHD) propose to establish a model for significantly increasing the number of undergraduate female, especially Hispanic, students that pursue a professorship career in computing. The objectives include increasing the number of female students that continue on to graduate studies towards a Ph.D. in computing, increasing the number of those students who become professors, and providing a model program that can be used by other institutions and disciplines. The project employs four strategies. Firstly, student recruitment identifies students with key characteristics to succeed in the program. Secondly, research mentoring helps the students develop research skills and experience that can motivate them to pursue graduate studies. Thirdly, career path mentoring guides the students in getting prepared for graduate studies and an academic career. Fourthly, empowerment activities help students overcome gender bias barriers that might prevent them from pursuing an academic career. This project will inform the BPC CAHSI Alliance.

波多黎各大学马亚圭斯分校（UPRM）和休斯顿市中心大学（UHD）建议建立一个模型，以显着增加本科女生，特别是西班牙裔，追求在计算机教授职业生涯的学生的数量。目标包括增加继续攻读博士学位的女生人数。在计算机方面，增加那些成为教授的学生的数量，并提供一个可供其他机构和学科使用的模型程序。该项目采用了四项战略。首先，学生招聘确定学生的关键特征，以在该计划中取得成功。其次，研究指导帮助学生发展研究技能和经验，可以激励他们追求研究生学习。第三，职业道路指导指导学生为研究生学习和学术生涯做好准备。 第四，赋权活动帮助学生克服可能妨碍他们从事学术事业的性别偏见障碍。该项目将通知BPC CAHSI联盟。
