The National Center for Women and Information Technology (NCWIT) is running a series of "Knowledge Exchange Workshops" to build capacity in the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) community for broadening participation in computing (BPC). The workshops will bring together a range of stakeholders -- CISE Principal Investigators (PIs), department chairs, the CISE BPC Alliances, and other national organizations that focus on inclusion in science and engineering -- to support the PI community in planning for meaningful broadening activities as introduced in the recently issued Dear Colleague Letter (NSF 17-110).CISE has long supported work in broadening participation BPC with targeted programs and specific requirements in some solicitations. The pilot discussed in the Dear Colleague Letter aims to expand that work by encouraging involvement of the larger PI community. The workshops will promote a "Knowledge Exchange," giving the PIs and department chairs the chance to discuss their current BPC efforts, needs and concerns, and giving the Alliances and the other organizations the chance to describe their existing resources and programs, and the communities they serve. The expected outcomes include a wider understanding of the BPC efforts currently underway, the creation of new partnerships that will increase the availability of community efforts that individual PIs could join in fulfilling their own BPC goals, and facilitation of the development of departmental BPC plans that provide new opportunities for faculty involvement. These workshops will lead to an expansion of the community of CISE change leaders poised to implement reform efforts.

国家妇女和信息技术中心正在举办一系列“知识交流讲习班”，以建设计算机和信息科学与工程界的能力，扩大对计算的参与。研讨会将汇集一系列利益相关者- CISE主要研究者（PI），部门主席，CISE BPC联盟，以及其他专注于科学和工程包容性的国家组织-支持PI社区规划有意义的扩展活动，如最近发布的亲爱的同事信中所介绍的（NSF 17-110）。CISE长期以来一直支持扩大参与BPC的工作，在一些招标中有针对性的方案和具体要求。亲爱的同事信中讨论的试点旨在通过鼓励更大的PI社区的参与来扩大这项工作。研讨会将促进“知识交流”，让PI和部门主席有机会讨论他们当前的BPC工作，需求和关注点，并让联盟和其他组织有机会描述他们现有的资源和计划，以及他们所服务的社区。预期成果包括对目前正在进行的BPC工作有更广泛的了解，建立新的合作伙伴关系，这将增加社区努力的可用性，个人PI可以加入实现自己的BPC目标，并促进部门BPC计划的发展，为教师参与提供新的机会。这些讲习班将导致CISE变革领导人社区的扩大，以实施改革努力。
