The University of Wisconsin will evaluate the impact of the Alliance for the Advancement of African American Researchers in Computing (A4RC). A4RC was formed in Spring 2006 with the goal of increasing the number of African Americans obtaining advanced degrees in computing, particularly at the Ph.D. level, by establishing student pipelines from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to Research Universities that offer advanced degrees in computing. A4RC collaborations are centered around research pods that link students and faculty from HBCUs and research institutions on a particular area of computer science research. The A4RC Evaluation Team will examine the five years of A4RC evaluation data to determine what program attributes are best suited to serve as national models for creating a computing education pathway for African Americans. The project staff will utilize existing data and original data collection to assess the effectiveness of past and current A4RC initiatives. The PI will disseminate best practices and research results on increasing the participation of African Americans in computing.

威斯康星州大学将评估非裔美国人计算机研究人员促进联盟（A4RC）的影响。A4RC成立于2006年春天，目标是增加获得计算机高级学位的非洲裔美国人的数量，特别是在博士学位。通过建立从历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）到提供计算机高级学位的研究型大学的学生管道。A4RC合作围绕研究吊舱，将HBCU的学生和教师与计算机科学研究特定领域的研究机构联系起来。A4RC评估小组将审查五年的A4RC评估数据，以确定哪些项目属性最适合作为为非洲裔美国人创建计算教育途径的国家模型。项目工作人员将利用现有数据和原始数据收集，评估过去和目前A4RC倡议的有效性。PI将传播关于增加非裔美国人参与计算的最佳做法和研究成果。
