HBCU Computer Science Workshop

国家科学基金会(NSF)计算机和信息科学与工程理事会(CEISE)致力于扩大未被充分代表的人群对计算和密切相关学科的参与。事实上，CISE强烈鼓励采取有意义的行动，解决计算机领域各种人群长期代表性不足的问题，包括妇女、少数族裔(非洲裔美国人/黑人、西班牙裔美国人、美国印第安人、阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民、太平洋原住民和经济困难背景的人)和残疾人。不幸的是，自2012年以来，只有少数(或没有)历史上的黑人学院和大学(HBCU)参与了扩大对计算机的参与的提案提交/获奖者。尽管有较新的NSF计划，如21世纪计算教育(CE21)以及科学、技术、工程和数学计算(STEM-C)合作伙伴关系，但HBCU提交并授予HBCU的提案仍然很少。这次研讨会将使HBCU计算机科学/计算教师能够协作并解决与扩大参与相关的需求，并创建跨机构战略以提高研究成果。研讨会参与者将在CS会议上参加研讨会后的会议，实际上是为了提高与NSF授予奖学金相关的责任水平。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Directorate for Computer and Information Science andEngineering (CISE) is committed to broadening the participation of underrepresented populations incomputing and closely-related disciplines. Indeed, CISE strongly encourages meaningful actions thataddress the longstanding underrepresentation of various populations including women, minorities(African Americans/Blacks, Hispanic Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians,Native Pacific Islanders, and persons from economically disadvantaged backgrounds), and persons withdisabilities, in the computing field.Unfortunately, only a few (or no) historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have participated in proposal submission/awardees to broadening participation in computing since 2012. Even though there are newer NSF programs, such as Computing Education for 21st Century (CE21) along with Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics-Computing (STEM-C) Partnerships, there are still few proposals submitted by and awarded to HBCUs.This workshop will enable HBCU computer science/computing faculty to collaborate and address the needs associated with broadening participation and create cross-institutional strategies to increase research outcomes. Workshop participants will engage in post-workshop meetings at CS conferences and virtually to increase the level of accountability associated with NSF grantsmanship.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.
