NSF INCLUDES DDLP: Diversifying Future Leadership in the Professoriate in Computing at Research Universities

美国国家科学基金会INCLUDES设计和开发启动试点项目FLIP（多元化教授未来领导力）的目标是解决研究型大学计算机专业教授未来领导力多样性的扩大参与挑战，以此作为实现整个领域多样性的一种方式。根据2016年CRA陶尔比调查，在授予博士学位的大学中，只有4.3%的终身教职员工来自代表性不足的少数族裔。应对这一挑战非常重要，因为多元化的教师在以下几个关键方面对学术界做出了贡献：为多元化的研究机构做出了卓越的榜样，为系制定的学生项目和政策带来了多元化的背景，并为研究项目和项目带来了多元化的视角。此外，重点是研究型大学，因为在实践中，关键的国家领导角色，如在影响计算领域的国家委员会任职，往往来自研究型大学。FLIP启动试点项目的共同目标和广阔愿景是，通过增加顶尖计算机学院博士毕业生的多样性，增加研究型大学计算机专业教师的多样性。重点关注计算机领域四个代表性不足的群体：非裔美国人；西班牙裔;美洲原住民和土著人民；以及残疾人。长期目标是通过与那些顶尖的计算机教师和专注于STEM多样化学生的组织建立战略合作伙伴关系，以及共同采用成熟的战略来招聘、毕业和培养多样化的博士生从事学术事业的合作伙伴关系，来实现这一愿景。试点的目的是在不同的合作伙伴之间建立一个统一的方法，该方法将建立在经过验证的战略之上，以开发新的实践，以增加重点机构博士毕业生的多样性，从而增加研究型大学计算机专业教师的多样性。在试点项目中，FLIP将重点关注当前博士生的招聘、录取和专业发展。

The goal of FLIP (Diversifying Future Leadership in the Professoriate), an NSF INCLUDES Design and Development Launch Pilot, is to address the broadening participation challenge of increasing the diversity of the future leadership in the professoriate in computing at research universities as a way to achieve diversity across the field. According to the 2016 CRA Taulbee Survey, only 4.3% of the tenure-track faculty at PhD-granting universities are from underrepresented minorities. This challenge is important to address because diverse faculty contributes to academia in the following critical ways: serve as excellent role models for a diverse study body, bring diverse backgrounds to the student programs and policies developed by the department, and bring diverse perspectives to the research projects and programs. Further, the focus is on research universities, because in practice, key national leadership roles, such as serving on national committees that impact thefield of computing, often come from research universities.The shared purpose and broad vision of the FLIP launch pilot is to increase faculty diversity in computing at research universities by increasing the diversity of PhD graduates from the top producers of computing faculty. The focus is on four underrepresented groups in computing: African Americans; Hispanics; Native Americans and indigenous peoples; and Persons with Disabilities. The long-term goal is to pursue this vision through strategic partnerships with those institutions that are the top producers of computing faculty and organizations that focus on diverse students in STEM, as well as partnerships that collectively adopt proven strategies for recruiting, graduating, and preparing a diverse set of doctoral students for academic careers. The purpose of the pilot is to establish a unified approach across the different partners that will build upon proven strategies to develop novel practices for increasing the diversity of the PhD graduates from key institutions, thereby increasing the faculty diversity in computing at research universities. For the pilot, FLIP will focus on recruitment and admissions and professional development for current PhD students.
