The University of Washington (UW) proposes an extension for the Alliance for Access to Computing Careers (AccessComputing). AccessComputing is the cornerstone of the national effort to broaden the participation of persons and students with disabilities in computing. Through an array of institutional partnerships and research on universal design for inclusion of students with disabilities, AccessComputing is directly aligned with NSF goals of broadening participation. AccessComputing focuses on students with disabilities who are a critically underserved group in STEM fields.AccessComputing engages individuals with disabilities as well as those who support, serve, guide, educate, and employ them in transformational efforts to make the computing disciplines more welcoming and accessible to individuals with disabilities, including post-9/11 veterans. AccessComputing is a combined effort of UW's Department of Computer Science and Engineering and DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology) Center, in partnership with diverse set of postsecondary institutions, Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) Alliances, and computing organizations. The Alliance aims to (1) increase the capacity of postsecondary institutions, precollege educators, BPC Alliances, and industry to fully include individuals with disabilities in computing fields; (2) provide direct services to individuals using evidence-based practices that support those individuals as they move through critical junctures on the way to computing careers; (3) build synergistic and lasting relationships among stakeholders to promote systemic changes toward inclusiveness in computing education and careers; and (4) expand an online resource center to share research and successful practices worldwide. Applying methods grounded in knowledge management, collaboration, and social network theory and practice, this extension to the AccessComputing award will formalize earlier and new relationships into a multitier organizational structure of partners, collaborators, and affiliates. Outcomes for individuals with disabilities will be documented by tracking the progress of student participants as well as institutional enrollment and graduation data; and results will be compared to local, regional, and national data with respect to the academic and career success of people with disabilities.

华盛顿大学 (UW) 提议扩展计算职业联盟 (AccessComputing)。 AccessComputing 是国家扩大残疾人和学生参与计算的努力的基石。 通过一系列机构合作伙伴关系以及针对包容残疾学生的通用设计的研究，AccessComputing 与 NSF 扩大参与的目标直接保持一致。 AccessComputing 重点关注残疾学生，他们是 STEM 领域服务严重不足的群体。AccessComputing 让残疾人以及支持、服务、指导、教育和雇用他们的人员参与变革性工作，使计算学科更受残疾人（包括 9/11 后退伍军人）欢迎和使用。 AccessComputing 是威斯康辛大学计算机科学与工程系和 DO-IT（残疾、机会、互联网工作和技术）中心与各种高等教育机构、扩大计算参与 (BPC) 联盟和计算组织合作的成果。该联盟的目标是 (1) 提高高等教育机构、大学预科教育工作者、BPC 联盟和行业的能力，让残疾人充分参与计算领域； (2) 使用基于证据的实践为个人提供直接服务，为这些个人在计算机职业道路上度过关键时刻提供支持； (3) 在利益相关者之间建立协同和持久的关系，以促进计算机教育和职业包容性的系统性变革； (4) 扩大在线资源中心，以在全球范围内分享研究成果和成功实践。 AccessComputing 奖项的扩展应用基于知识管理、协作以及社交网络理论和实践的方法，将早期和新的关系正式形成合作伙伴、合作者和附属机构的多层组织结构。将通过跟踪学生参与者的进度以及机构入学和毕业数据来记录残疾人的成果；结果将与有关残疾人学业和职业成功的地方、区域和国家数据进行比较。
