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

FLIP（Diversifying Future Leadership in the Professoriate）是一个NSF INCLUDES设计和开发启动试点项目，其目标是解决在研究型大学增加计算领域未来教授领导力多样性的参与挑战，以实现该领域的多样性。根据2016年CRA Taulbee调查，只有4.3%的博士授予大学的终身教职教师来自代表性不足的少数民族。这一挑战是很重要的，因为多样化的教师有助于学术界在以下关键方式：作为一个多元化的学习机构的优秀榜样，带来不同的背景，以学生的计划和部门制定的政策，并带来不同的观点的研究项目和方案。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中任职，通常来自研究型大学。FLIP启动试点的共同目的和广泛愿景是通过增加来自顶级计算教师的博士毕业生的多样性来增加研究型大学计算教师的多样性。重点是在计算方面代表性不足的四个群体：非裔美国人;西班牙裔美国人;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专注于STEM多样化学生的计算机教师和组织的顶级生产者的机构建立战略伙伴关系，以及共同采用经过验证的招聘，毕业和准备多样化博士生的策略的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，该方法将建立在行之有效的战略基础上，开发新的实践，以增加来自主要机构的博士毕业生的多样性，从而增加研究型大学计算教师的多样性。对于试点项目，FLIP将专注于招聘和招生以及当前博士生的专业发展。

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.
