The objective of this project is to broaden participation of women and underrepresented groups in visualization. The PI proposes to establish an annual two-day workshop and other activities designed to increase the participation of women and underrepresented groups in visualization.Visualization plays a significant role in the exploration and understanding of data across all disciplines with a universal goal: gaining insight into the complex relationships that exist within the data. The need to diversify a field with such far reaching influences by providing career mentoring advice, overviews of past accomplishments, and future research directions in visualization is important. The proposed workshops will inform, inspire and encourage participants to engage in the multidisciplinary dynamics of visualization.The first supported workshop is scheduled for February 10-11, 2014, and will be hosted at Clemson University in South Carolina. A total of 20 participants at the undergraduate, graduate, post-graduate, and early career faculty level will be invited to participate in the workshop. The workshop will be organized as a series of presentations, panels with networking opportunities, and mentoring activities. To encourage collaborations, participants will present their work and explore the work of others during a poster session. Participants will be recruited via a number of different venues including, but not limited to: The Anita Borge Institute/Grace Hopper listserv, association listservs (CRA, CRA-W, CDC, AAPHDCS, Hispanics in Computing, and Women in Machine Learning), Broadening Participation Communities (A4RC, EL Alliance) and discipline-specific mailing lists (IEEE-Vis). Undergraduates will be recruited by on-campus organizations (Women in Science and Engineering and The Charles H. Houston Center). The inclusion of undergraduates will ensure the level of interest in visualization spans across academic and professional domains. Outcomes of the workshops will be assessed by surveying participants at the start and at the end of the workshop.

该项目的目标是扩大妇女和代表性不足的群体对可视化的参与。PI建议每年举办一次为期两天的研讨会和其他活动，旨在提高妇女和代表性不足的群体对可视化的参与。可视化在探索和理解所有学科的数据方面发挥着重要作用，其共同目标是：深入了解数据中存在的复杂关系。通过提供职业指导建议，过去成就的概述和可视化的未来研究方向，需要使具有如此深远影响的领域多样化是很重要的。拟议的研讨会将通知，启发和鼓励参与者从事可视化的多学科动态。第一次支持研讨会定于2014年2月10日至11日，并将在南卡罗来纳州的克莱姆森大学举办。共有20名参与者在本科生，研究生，研究生和早期职业教师的水平将被邀请参加研讨会。讲习班将以一系列演讲、小组讨论和辅导活动的形式组织。为了鼓励合作，参与者将在海报会议期间展示他们的工作并探索其他人的工作。参与者将通过许多不同的场所招募，包括但不限于：Anita Borge Institute/Grace Hopper listserv，协会listserv（CRA，CRA-W，CDC，AAPHDCS，计算中的西班牙裔和机器学习中的女性），扩大参与社区（A4 RC，EL Alliance）和特定学科的邮件列表（IEEE-Vis）。本科生将被校园组织（妇女在科学和工程和查尔斯H。休斯顿中心）。包括本科生将确保跨学术和专业领域的可视化的兴趣水平。将在讲习班开始和结束时通过对参加者进行调查来评估讲习班的成果。
