EAGER: New and Returning Research Scholars: Introducing Research Career Pathways to Women through On-Site Mentoring at GHC

计算机研究协会的女性在计算机研究中的地位委员会（CRA-W）旨在增加女性在计算机科学与工程（CSE）研究事业中的数量和成功。有了这个提议，他们将在2018年格蕾丝·霍珀计算女性庆祝活动（GHC）内开展工作，以(1)增加CSE专业本科女性对研究的参与，鼓励她们对研究生院的兴趣和准备，(2)为在工业界工作并正在考虑以研究为重点的职业转变的女性提供信息，指导和支持。CRA-W将继续发展CRA-W GHC研究学者计划，该计划于2017年试点，将本科生带到格蕾丝·霍珀计算女性庆祝活动（GHC），为她们提供以研究为重点的体验。此外，CRA-W还将试行一项新的GHC回国学者计划，面向有意从工业领域重返研究生院的女性。这两个项目都将利用榜样的可用性和GHC现有的项目。此外，他们将提供(1)指导对研究感兴趣的学生如何在会议上找到大量的产品，(2)为学生提供在小组环境中与志同道合的同龄人、榜样和导师见面和互动的机会，(3)对以研究为重点的职业转变感兴趣的行业专业人士的导师和榜样，以及(4)为追求和成功的研究事业提供有用的建议。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Computing Research Association's Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research (CRA-W) aims to increase the numbers and successes of women in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) research careers. With this proposal, they will work within the 2018 Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC) to (1) increase the engagement of undergraduate women CSE majors in research and encourage their interest in and preparation for graduate school, and (2) provide information, mentorship, and support for women who have worked in industry and are considering a research-focused career change. CRA-W will continue the development the CRA-W GHC Research Scholars Program, piloted in 2017, that brings undergraduates to the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC), providing them with a research-focused experience. In addition, CRA-W will pilot a new GHC Returning Scholars Program for women potentially interested in returning to graduate school from industry. Both programs will capitalize on the availability of role models and existing programming at GHC. In addition, they will provide (1) guidance to research-interested students on how to navigate the vast offerings at the conference, (2) opportunities for students to meet and interact with peers, role models, and mentors with similar interests in small-group settings, (3) mentors and role models for industry professionals interested in a research-focused career change, and (4) useful advice for pursuing and succeeding in a research career.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
