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.

美国国家科学基金会（NSF）的计算机和信息科学与工程理事会（CISE）致力于扩大在计算和密切相关的学科中代表性不足的人群的参与。事实上，CISE强烈鼓励采取有意义的行动，解决包括妇女、少数民族在内的各种人群长期代表性不足的问题。（非裔美国人/黑人、西班牙裔美国人、美洲印第安人、阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民、太平洋岛民原住民和经济上处于不利地位的人）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）参与了提案提交/获奖者，以扩大对计算的参与。尽管有较新的NSF项目，如21世纪世纪计算教育（CE 21）沿着科学，技术，工程和数学计算（STEM-C）伙伴关系，HBCU提交和获得的提案仍然很少。这次研讨会将使HBCU计算机科学/计算教师能够合作并解决与扩大参与相关的需求，并创建交叉-提高研究成果的体制战略。研讨会的参与者将在CS会议上参加研讨会后的会议，并实际上提高与NSF granitarian相关的问责制水平。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。
