项目摘要

Only 5.3% of the faculty at PhD-granting universities are from the following underrepresented communities: Black or African-American, Hispanic, or American Indian/Alaska Native. Diversifying the computing professoriate is critical for providing excellent role models, shaping departmental programs and policies, and bringing diverse perspectives into research projects and programs. The LEAP Alliance aims to increase the diversity of leadership in the computing professoriate by intentionally bringing together four cohorts of universities, each with common strengths and a common agenda. This work builds upon the lessons learned from a first cohort comprised of institutions producing a large percentage of computing faculty and adds three additional cohorts to further strengthen the pipeline to the computing professoriate.The goal of the LEAP Alliance is to address the broadening participation challenge of increasing the diversity of the future leadership in the computing professoriate at research universities as a way to increase diversity across the field. Key national leadership roles, such as serving on national committees that impact the field of computing, often come from research universities, making these institutions a critical point of focus. The Alliance has previously piloted this effort in an initial cohort of 11 research universities who were found to produce over 50% of the faculty at the top 55 research institutions. They will continue to bring together similar institutions in a second cohort, as well as cohorts that focus on institutions graduate a large percentage of computing PhDs and computing undergraduates, respectively. Ultimately, the Alliance aims to increase the diversity of PhD graduates from the institutions that are the top producers of computing faculty, increase the exposure of academic careers at the institutions that already have good diversity in their PhD graduates, and increase the retention of diverse undergraduate students at the institutions who send students to graduate school that go on to be faculty.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.

博士学位授予大学的教师中只有5.3％来自以下代表性不足的社区：黑人或非裔美国人，西班牙裔或美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加人。多样化计算教授对于提供出色的榜样，塑造部门计划和政策以及将各种观点带入研究项目和计划至关重要。飞跃联盟旨在通过有意将四个大学的同伙组合在一起，每种大学都有共同的优势和共同的议程来提高计算教授中领导力的多样性。这项工作是基于从一个由机构组成的第一个队列中学到的经验教训的基础，该机构产生了很大一部分的计算教师，并增加了三个额外的同类群体，以进一步加强了计算教授的管道。飞跃联盟的目的是解决扩大参与挑战的挑战，即在研究中提高研究领域的计算领导力多样性，以增加一项领域的多样性，从而使多样化的多样性变得多样化，从而增加了各种各样的多样性。主要的国家领导角色，例如在影响计算领域的国家委员会中任职，通常来自研究型大学，使这些机构成为关注点的关键点。该联盟以前曾在最初的11个研究型大学组成的最初队列中试行了这项工作，他们被发现在前55家研究机构中生产了超过50％的教职员工。他们将继续在第二个队列中汇集类似的机构，并分别专注于机构分别毕业的计算博士学位和计算本科生的同类人群。最终，该联盟旨在提高来自机构的博士学位毕业生的多样性，这些机构是计算教师的顶级生产者，增加已经在其博士学位毕业生中拥有良好多样性的机构的学术职业的曝光率，并增加了向毕业生授予毕业生的机构的多样化学生的保留。值得通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来通过评估来支持。
