People with disabilities are underrepresented in computing fields, yet their perspectives and expertise can benefit these fields greatly. The goals of the AccessComputing Fourth Extension are to (1) increase the participation of people with disabilities in computing careers and (2) serve as a catalyst and national resource to help make computing educational and career opportunities more welcoming and accessible to people with disabilities. AccessComputing is one of a family of Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) Alliances that are working with other BPC projects to benefit computing fields in terms of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. These benefits to computing fields translate to benefits to the nation by helping to improve the ability of its technology workforce to respond to national needs that depend, more and more, on computing technology. AccessComputing, although centered at the University of Washington, partners with over 75 academic institutions, computing organizations, and tech companies to achieve its common goals. The AccessComputing leadership team represents the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering, Information School, and DO-IT Center at the University of Washington; University of California, Irvine; Gallaudet University; and Tufts University. In order to meet the project goals, AccessComputing has four objectives: (1) Individual engagement in computing: implement evidence-based practices to increase the number of individuals with disabilities moving through critical junctures through their pathways to education to computing careers; (2) Organizational capacity development and collaboration: increase the capacity of postsecondary institutions, BPC alliances and projects, organizations, and industry to fully include individuals with disabilities in computing fields and promote accessible, inclusive, universal design practices; (3) Curriculum development: develop the capacity of faculty to integrate accessibility and disability content into computing courses to increase knowledge and skills of future computing professionals; and (4) Alliance impact and sustainability: foster relationships among stakeholders to promote systemic changes, expand online resources, develop the next generation of leaders in BPC and accessibility, and develop sustainable products and initiatives. Several initiatives are new to AccessComputing Fourth Extension. They include: (1) Expanding the AccessComputing leadership beyond the University of Washington to include emerging leaders from three new institutions; (2) Expanding the academic partners to include more community and technical colleges; (3) Expanding the AccessComputing students and the services available to them; (4) Joining the new BPC-A Accelerator that will help coordinate and synergize BPC efforts related to gender, race, ethnicity, and disability; (5) Expanding the industry partners and interactions with them; (6) Expanding the organizational partners to include more subdisciplines in computing fields; and (7) Developing a comprehensive and adaptable e-book for teaching accessibility and disability topics in computing courses.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.

残疾人在计算领域的代表性不足，但他们的观点和专业知识可以使这些领域受益匪浅。 AccessComputing 第四次扩展的目标是 (1) 增加残疾人对计算机职业的参与，以及 (2) 作为催化剂和国家资源，帮助残疾人获得更受欢迎和更容易获得的计算机教育和职业机会。 AccessComputing 是扩大计算参与 (BPC) 联盟家族之一，该联盟正在与其他 BPC 项目合作，在多样性、公平性、包容性和可访问性方面使计算领域受益。这些对计算领域的好处转化为对国家的好处，帮助提高技术人员的能力，满足越来越依赖计算技术的国家需求。 AccessComputing 虽然以华盛顿大学为中心，但与超过 75 个学术机构、计算组织和科技公司合作以实现其共同目标。 AccessComputing 领导团队代表华盛顿大学 Paul G. Allen 计算机科学与工程学院、信息学院和 DO-IT 中心；加州大学欧文分校；加劳德大学；和塔夫茨大学。为了实现项目目标，AccessComputing 有四个目标： (1) 个人参与计算：实施基于证据的实践，以增加在教育和计算职业道路上度过关键时刻的残疾人数量； (2) 组织能力发展和协作：提高高等教育机构、BPC 联盟和项目、组织和行业的能力，将残疾人充分纳入计算领域，并促进无障碍、包容性和通用设计实践； (3) 课程开发：培养教师将无障碍和残疾内容融入计算机课程的能力，以增加未来计算机专业人员的知识和技能； (4) 联盟影响力和可持续性：培养利益相关者之间的关系，以促进系统性变革，扩大在线资源，培养 BPC 和可访问性方面的下一代领导者，并开发可持续产品和举措。 AccessComputing Fourth Extension 中有多项新举措。它们包括： (1) 将 AccessComputing 的领导力扩展到华盛顿大学以外，以包括来自三个新机构的新兴领导者； (2) 扩大学术合作伙伴，包括更多的社区和技术学院； (3) 扩大 AccessComputing 学生及其可获得的服务； (4) 加入新的 BPC-A 加速器，这将有助于协调和协同 BPC 在性别、种族、民族和残疾方面的努力； （五）扩大行业合作伙伴及其互动； （6）扩大组织合作伙伴，纳入更多计算领域的分支学科； (7) 开发一本全面且适应性强的电子书，用于教授计算机课程中的无障碍和残疾主题。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
