The lack of progress in broadening the participation of African American women in the academy, industry and tech entrepreneurship remains at the margins despite years of interventions and initiatives frequently intended for women and minorities. Innovative approaches are warranted to address seemingly intractable issues and ensure progress. This project combines data collection, quantitative analysis, social and behavioral sciences and simulations to elucidate factors that underlie the career trajectories of African American women. These findings can, then, provide insights for the development of meaningful strategies and interventions to increase the participation and career success of African American women in engineering and computing.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.

尽管多年来经常针对妇女和少数族裔的干预措施和倡议，但在扩大非裔美国妇女在学院、工业和科技创业方面的参与方面仍然缺乏进展。有必要采取创新办法来解决看似棘手的问题并确保取得进展。该项目结合了数据收集、定量分析、社会和行为科学以及模拟，以阐明构成非裔美国女性职业轨迹的因素。这些发现可以为制定有意义的战略和干预措施提供见解，以增加非裔美国女性在工程和计算机领域的参与和职业成功。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。
