EAGER: CRA-W Programs for Partnerships in the BPCnet Pilot

计算机研究协会的妇女在计算机研究中的地位委员会（CRA-W）提出了一个试点机制的项目，该机制允许个人计算机科学和工程（CSE）研究人员与其最成功的旗舰计划合作：本科生分布式研究经验（DREU），本科生合作研究经验（CREU）和计算机特定研讨会（DSWs）。这些计划有助于增加妇女和代表性不足的群体成员的数量和成功，他们获得高级学位，并在学术界，工业界或国家实验室从事CSE研究事业。 到目前为止，他们已经运行了一个相对较小的一组专门的志愿者从CSE研究社区。现在CRA-W的目标是通过让更多的CSE研究人员作为合作伙伴来扩大这些项目的覆盖范围。该提案是为了响应并与计算机和信息系统与工程（CISE）理事会所做的努力保持一致，以增加和支持更多获奖者（NSF DCL 17-110）在计算（BPC）活动中的广泛参与。CRA-W的DREU，CREU和DSW计划已经成功地大规模运作多年。这项工作将吸引更广泛的CISE资助的研究人员参与其运作。例如，CISE资助项目的研究人员可以合作发送和/或接收一名DREU学生进行夏季研究项目，或支持来自自己大学或邻近大学，学院或社区学院的CREU研究团队，或以某种实质性方式主持或促进新DSW的组织。该项目将准备方案及其运作基础设施（例如应用程序和管理软件），（在操作和评估方面），新的CISE的努力预计需要。这个奖项是由NSF共同资助的包括，重点是催化科学，技术，工程，数学（STEM）该奖项反映了NSF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进行评估，被认为值得支持审查标准。

The Computing Research Association's Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research (CRA-W) proposes a project to pilot mechanisms that allow individual computer science and engineering (CSE) researchers to partner with its most successful flagship programs: Distributed Research Experiences for Undergraduates (DREU), Collaborative Research Experiences for Undergraduates (CREU), and Discipline-Specific Workshops (DSWs). These programs have helped to increase the numbers and successes of women and members of underrepresented groups who earn advanced degrees and pursue CSE research careers in academia, industry, or national labs. To date, they have been run with a relatively small group of dedicated volunteers from the CSE research community. Now CRA-W aims to expand the reach of those programs by involving more CSE researchers as partners. The proposal is in response to and in alignment with the effort undertaken by the Computer and Information Systems and Engineering (CISE) Directorate to increase and support the broadening participation in computing (BPC) activities among more of its awardees (NSF DCL 17-110).CRA-W's DREU, CREU and DSW programs have operated successfully and at-scale for many years. This work will engage a broader set of CISE-funded researchers in their operation. A researcher on a CISE-funded project , for example, could partner to send and/or receive a DREU student for a summer research project, or to support a CREU research team from their own university or a neighboring university, college or community college, or to host or contribute in some substantive way to the organization of a new DSW. This project will prepare the programs and their operational infrastructure (e.g. applications and management software) for the greater scale (both operationally and in terms of evaluation) that the new CISE effort is expected to require.This award is co-funded by NSF INCLUDES, which focuses on catalyzing the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) enterprise to collaboratively work for inclusive change.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.
