Sustainable Diversity in the Computing Research Pipeline

计算研究协会？S关于妇女在计算研究中的地位委员会(CRA-W)和多元化计算联盟(CDC)扩大计算参与(BPC)联盟将(1)部分支持代表不足的少数群体和妇女(URM+W)参与者建立和加强联盟计划，(2)建立CRA中心以评估研究管道(CERP)。CRA-W/CDC联盟项目旨在让参与者意识到研究事业的回报和博士学位的价值，帮助参与者通过增加知识、技能和信心来发展自我效能，并将参与者与研究社区和彼此联系起来，以促进他们的成功，从而扩大对计算机的参与。CERP将首次对导致所有本科生和研究生从事计算研究的因素进行纵向和全国性的研究；特别是，CERP将评估联盟干预计划是否有效地增加URM+W在计算方面的参与。联盟的目标是发展URM+W研究社区，并对URM+W研究人员的个人职业发展产生积极影响。这些影响包括响应联盟的可持续发展努力的体制变化，以及为全国BPC社区和整个国家提供的资源，以鼓励一般人口中的计算研究。该项目通过CERP进行的评价工作将产生一个国家比较数据库，该数据库将成为CEISE社区强大的国家资源，并可能为更广泛的研究界提供信息。

The Computing Research Association?s Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research (CRA-W) and the Coalition to Diversify Computing (CDC) Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) Alliance will (1) partially support under-represented minorities and women (URM+W) participants in established and enhanced Alliance programs and (2) establish the CRA Center for Evaluating the Research Pipeline (CERP). CRA-W/CDC Alliance programs broaden participation in computing as they aim to make participants aware of the rewards of a research career and the value of a PhD; to help participants develop self-efficacy through increased knowledge, skills, and confidence; and to connect participants to the research community and to each other to further their success. CERP will conduct the first ever, longitudinal and national study of the factors that lead to research careers for all undergraduate and graduate students in computing; in particular, CERP will evaluate whether the Alliance intervention programs are effective at increasing participation of URM+W in computing.The alliance's goal is to grow the URM+W research community and positively impacting the career development of individual URM+W researchers. These impacts include institutional change in response to the Alliance's sustainability efforts and resources for the national BPC community and for the nation in general for similar programs to encourage computing research among the population in general. The project's evaluation efforts through CERP will yield a national comparison database that will become a powerful national resource for the CISE community and may also inform the wider research community.
