项目摘要

The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) program is a National Science Foundation-wide activity that offers awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education, to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization, and to build a foundation for a lifetime of leadership in integrating education and research. This CAREER project aims to examine and understand factors that contribute to the education and career decisions of Black men in computing. This understanding will inform enhancements to mentoring and other peer support programs designed to increase the retention of individuals from underrepresented groups in computing, informatics, and engineering (CIE) disciplines. The ubiquity of computing and digital information is driving rapid change in the world. Diversity is essential for the United States to maintain a globally competitive CIE workforce.Qualitative methods will be used in this project to examine relationships among individual and environmental influences on Black men studying CIE and their support systems, interest levels, satisfaction, and retention in university degree programs. Utilizing elements of both the Individual Differences Theory of Gender and IT and the Social Cognitive Career Theory, the research will explore the unique, individual characteristics that influence and impact the educational and career decisions of Black men. Increased understanding of these characteristics and their relationships will advance awareness of barriers to retention and success for Black men in computing. The integrated research and education plans include the development of a new course and the establishment of the BLKGENIUS network to engage Black men in computing and match them with role models and mentors in order to promote retention and success. This award is funded by the Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP), which provides awards to strengthen STEM undergraduate education and research at HBCUs.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.

学院早期职业发展(Career)计划是国家科学基金会范围内的一项活动，旨在为有潜力在研究和教育中充当学术榜样的早期教师提供支持，在其部门或组织的使命中领导进步，并为终身领导教育和研究的整合奠定基础。这个职业项目旨在研究和了解影响黑人男性在计算机领域的教育和职业决策的因素。这一理解将有助于加强指导和其他同行支持计划，旨在增加计算、信息学和工程(CIE)学科中代表性不足群体的个人留存率。计算和数字信息的无处不在正在推动世界的快速变化。多样性对于美国保持一支具有全球竞争力的CIE队伍至关重要。本项目将使用定性方法来检验个人和环境对学习CIE的黑人男性及其支持系统、兴趣水平、满意度和大学学位课程保留率之间的关系。利用性别和信息技术的个人差异理论和社会认知职业理论的元素，这项研究将探索影响和影响黑人男性教育和职业决策的独特的个人特征。加深对这些特征及其关系的理解，将提高人们对黑人男性在计算机领域保持和成功的障碍的认识。综合研究和教育计划包括开发一门新课程和建立BLKGENIUS网络，以吸引黑人男子从事计算机工作，并将他们与榜样和导师相匹配，以促进留住和成功。该奖项由历史黑人学院和大学-本科生计划(HBCU-UP)资助，该计划提供奖项以加强HBCU的STEM本科教育和研究。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。
