Collaborative Research: BPC-DP: African-American Researchers in Computing Sciences (AARCS)

奥本大学提出了非洲裔美国人计算科学研究人员（AARCS）计划，以扩大非洲裔美国人在教育管道内的终身教职和研究科学家职位的参与。 全国各地的非裔美国本科生将接触到榜样，研究和研究生院的机会，这些机会专门用于解决对计算科学教师和研究的不信任，担忧和误解。这将通过非洲裔美国人计算科学教师和研究生的有针对性的演讲，未来教师/研究科学家指导计划和年度AARCS小型会议来实现。AARCS计划将作为一个基于实践的、经过测试的模型，可以纳入更大的联盟项目。此外，它还将作为一个模式，可用于针对其他代表性不足的群体。

Auburn University proposes the African American Researchers in Computing Sciences (AARCS) program to broaden African American participation in tenure track faculty and research scientist positions within the education pipeline. African American undergraduate students across the nation will be exposed to role models, research, and graduate school opportunities that are specifically designed to address disbeliefs, concerns, and misunderstandings about computing sciences faculty and research. This will be accomplished through targeted presentations by African American computing science faculty and graduate students, a Future Faculty/Research Scientist Mentoring program, and an annual AARCS mini-conference. The AARCS program will serve as an empirically-based and tested model that can be incorporated into larger Alliance projects. In addition, it will serve as a model that can be used to target other underrepresented groups.
