North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, together with collaborating institutions Clemson University, Prairie View A&M University, the University of Colorado, the University of Wisconsin, Auburn University, the University of Indiana, Norfolk State University, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Fort Valley Sate University, and Jackson State University, proposes an extension of the successful Alliance for the Advancement of African-American Researchers in Computing (A4RC, pronounced "A-Force"). A4RC aims to increase the number of African-Americans obtaining advanced degrees in computing, particularly at the Ph.D. level. A4RC establishes and develops student pipelines from HBCUs to universities offering advanced degrees in Computing. A4RC has amassed a body of knowledge and experience with respect to what it takes to build effective HBCU/R1 faculty collaborations, develop productive HBCU/R1 research teams that include graduate and undergraduate students, and prepare undergraduate and master's students for research at the Ph.D. level. A4RC uses a "research pod" concept that is efficient, flexible, and effective in terms of HBCU/R1 research collaborations. With this extension, A4RC plans to expand the alliance to include a greater number of HBCU/R1 research collaborations, and to build new partnerships. A new category of partners -- Affiliate Partners -- will engage additional HBCUs and national labs and A4RC will become formal partners with the very effective BPC Demonstration Project, African-American Researchers in Computing Sciences (AARCS). A4RC will build collaborations with the BPC STARS and Empowering Leadership Alliances, and ADMI: The Symposium on Computing at Minority Institutions.

北卡罗莱纳州农业和技术州立大学，以及合作机构克莱姆森大学、草原景观农工大学、科罗拉多大学、威斯康星大学、奥本大学、印第安纳大学、诺福克州立大学、弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学、谷堡州立大学和杰克逊州立大学，提议扩大已经取得成功的非裔美国计算机研究人员发展联盟（A4RC，发音为“A-Force”）。A4RC旨在增加非裔美国人获得计算机高级学位的人数，特别是博士学位。A4RC建立并发展了从HBCUs到提供计算机高级学位的大学的学生管道。A4RC已经积累了大量的知识和经验，包括如何建立有效的HBCU/R1教师合作，发展包括研究生和本科生在内的富有成效的HBCU/R1研究团队，以及为本科生和硕士生准备博士水平的研究。A4RC使用“研究舱”概念，在HBCU/R1研究合作方面高效、灵活、有效。通过这次扩展，A4RC计划扩大联盟，包括更多的HBCU/R1研究合作，并建立新的伙伴关系。一个新的合作伙伴类别——附属合作伙伴——将与更多的hbcu和国家实验室合作，A4RC将成为非常有效的BPC示范项目——非裔美国人计算科学研究人员（AARCS）的正式合作伙伴。A4RC将与BPC STARS和赋权领导联盟以及ADMI：少数族裔机构计算机研讨会建立合作关系。
