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

计算机研究协会妇女在计算机研究中的地位委员会（CRA-W）提出了一个试点项目，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项目合作：本科生分布式研究经验（DREU），本科生合作研究经验（CREU）和特定学科研讨会（dsw）。这些项目帮助增加了获得高等学位并在学术界、工业界或国家实验室从事CSE研究工作的妇女和未被充分代表的群体成员的数量和成功。到目前为止，它们一直是由来自CSE研究界的一个相对较小的专门志愿者小组运行的。现在，CRA-W的目标是通过让更多的CSE研究人员成为合作伙伴来扩大这些项目的范围。该提案是对计算机和信息系统与工程（CISE）理事会所做的努力的回应和一致，以增加和支持更多的获奖者扩大参与计算（BPC）活动（NSF DCL 17-110）。CRA-W的DREU、CREU和DSW项目已经成功运行多年。这项工作将吸引更广泛的cise资助的研究人员参与其操作。例如，cise资助项目的研究人员可以合作发送和/或接收DREU学生进行夏季研究项目，或者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，或者以某种实质性的方式主持或为组织新的DSW做出贡献。该项目将为新的CISE工作预计需要的更大规模（操作和评估方面）准备程序及其操作基础设施（例如应用程序和管理软件）。该奖项由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）资助，致力于促进科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）企业协同工作，实现包容性变革。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) 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.
