Sustainable Diversity in the Computing Research Pipeline

计算机研究协会？计算研究中的妇女地位委员会（CRA-W）和计算多样化联盟（CDC）扩大参与计算（BPC）联盟将（1）部分支持代表性不足的少数民族和妇女（URM+W）参与者建立和加强联盟计划，并（2）建立CRA评估研究管道中心（CERP）。CRA-W/CDC联盟计划扩大了参与计算，因为他们的目的是让参与者意识到研究生涯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联系起来，并相互联系，以促进他们的成功。CERP将对所有计算机专业本科生和研究生从事研究职业的因素进行有史以来第一次纵向全国性研究;特别是，CERP将评估联盟干预计划是否有效地增加了URM+W在计算机领域的参与度。该联盟的目标是发展URM+W研究社区，并对单个URM+W研究人员的职业发展产生积极影响。这些影响包括为响应联盟的可持续发展努力而进行的机构变革，以及为国家BPC社区和全国提供的资源，以鼓励一般人口中的计算研究。该项目通过CERP进行的评估工作将产生一个国家比较数据库，该数据库将成为CISE社区的一个强大的国家资源，也可能为更广泛的研究社区提供信息。

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.
