The project aims to create a digital archive of the "networked ecosystem" that documents the social capital of Black women in computing to provide resources, information, and access to potential mentors to increase the representation of Black women in this field. The research study will help develop strategies to leverage the social capital of successful Black women in computing to encourage aspiring Black women to pursue and thrive in this profession. The digital archive entitled: Building a Sisterhood in Computing (BaSiC) will serve as a resource for this population. To support the effort to carry out this research program, the investigator will engage in structured professional development activities that include summer courses in quantitative methods at the University of Michigan and qualitative methods at the University of North Carolina. In addition, the investigator will receive guidance from a research advisory board comprised of individuals who have expertise studying underrepresentation of women in STEM and socio-cultural factors that have affected them. The long-term goal of the combined research and professional development plan is to position the investigator to contribute knowledge that could increase retention of African American women in computing.The investigator will collect and qualitatively and quantitatively analyze personal narratives of 60 Black women in computing to determine positive and negative influences on their careers. This will include a mix of undergraduate students, graduate students, early career, and seasoned professionals. Questions will include memberships in professional societies, use of technology, and other factors that have shaped their experiences, behaviors, and attitudes. An additional 350 Black women in various stages of their computing career journeys will be surveyed to analyze and document parameters that influenced their career pathways. The rationale is that evidence-based retention strategies based on social factors will be identified. The BaSiC platform will help foster a sense of community and solidarity among a diverse group of Black women who are currently involved in computing and further provide social capital for Black women interested in pursuing careers in computing. The project is supported through the EHR Core Research Building Capacity in STEM Education Research competition that is designed to build individuals? capacity to carry out high quality fundamental STEM education research in STEM learning and learning environments, broadening participation in STEM fields, and STEM workforce development.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.

该项目旨在创建一个“网络生态系统”的数字档案，记录黑人女性在计算机领域的社会资本，以提供资源、信息和接触潜在导师的机会，以增加黑人女性在该领域的代表性。这项研究将有助于制定战略，利用成功的黑人女性在计算机领域的社会资本，鼓励有抱负的黑人女性在这一职业中追求并蓬勃发展。题为：建立计算姐妹关系(BASIC)的数字档案馆将为这一群体提供资源。为了支持开展这一研究计划的努力，研究人员将参与有组织的专业发展活动，包括密歇根大学的暑期定量方法课程和北卡罗来纳大学的定性方法课程。此外，调查员将接受一个研究咨询委员会的指导，该委员会由专门研究STEM中妇女代表性不足和影响她们的社会文化因素的个人组成。这项联合研究和职业发展计划的长期目标是让研究人员贡献知识，增加非裔美国女性在计算机领域的留存率。调查人员将收集60名黑人女性在计算机领域的个人叙述，并对其进行定性和定量分析，以确定对她们职业生涯的积极和消极影响。这将包括本科生、研究生、早期职业生涯和经验丰富的专业人士。问题将包括专业协会的成员资格，技术的使用，以及塑造他们的经验、行为和态度的其他因素。另外350名处于计算机职业生涯不同阶段的黑人女性将接受调查，以分析和记录影响她们职业生涯的参数。其基本原理是，将确定基于社会因素的循证保留战略。该基本平台将有助于在目前从事计算机工作的不同黑人妇女群体中培养社区意识和团结，并进一步为有兴趣从事计算机职业的黑人妇女提供社会资本。该项目通过旨在培养个人的STEM教育研究竞赛中的EHR核心研究能力建设得到支持。在STEM学习和学习环境中开展高质量基础STEM教育研究的能力，扩大在STEM领域的参与，以及STEM劳动力发展。该奖项反映了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。
