WiGRAPH’s mission is to increase the number of women pursuing cutting-edge research in computer graphics, which despite some progress in recent years, remains distressingly low. To this end, the group creates online resources for women in the field through the wigraph.org website and social media (e.g., online discussion forums). In addition, it hosts events during the main computer graphics conferences that provide environments where women researchers can interact with one another and seek role models, mentorship, and encouragement. In 2022 the plan is to host three such networking events at the premier graphics conferences: SIGGRAPH, SIGGRAPH ASIA, and the Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP), and also to launch a new Rising Stars in Computer Graphics program whose goal is to provide mentorship at a time when students have sufficient research maturity, but are still making decisions about future career directions. WiGRAPH activities are always centered around issues relating to research, such as sharing advice about how to pick research topics, pursue research questions, and navigate the industry/academic markets. Statistics are gathered from event registrations and participant testimonials to help generate clear demographic data about the population being served by and to evaluate the impact of sponsored events.Although all the organization work is done with volunteered time, the events program comes at a substantial cost. Due to COVID-19, all 2020 and 2021 events were held online and therefore required only minimal funding, but moving forward it is estimated that the basic program will cost roughly $49,600 for 2022, as described in detail in the proposal, and the organizers hope to augment the program, for example by increasing the number of participants, if they are able to raise additional funds with industry sponsorship. HCC PDs discussed this proposal and agreed that the goals are both laudable and timely, and that the planned activities are likely to have broad impact.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.

威格拉普的任务是增加从事计算机图形技术领域的尖端研究的女性数量，这些妇女近年来一直在进行一些进展，但仍然令人沮丧。为此，该小组通过Wigraph.org网站和社交媒体（例如在线讨论论坛）为现场为妇女创建在线资源。此外，它在主要的计算机图形会议上举办了活动，这些活动提供了女性研究人员可以相互互动并寻求榜样，精神训练和鼓励的环境。在2022年，该计划是在主要图形会议上举办三个这样的网络活动：Siggraph，Siggraph Asia和几何处理研讨会（SGP），并在计算机图形计划中启动新的后起之秀的明星，其目标是在学生有足够的研究中提供足够的研究成果，但仍在做出未来的职业生涯，但仍在提供精力研究。维格拉普活动始终集中在与研究有关的问题上，例如分享有关如何挑选研究主题，购买研究问题以及导航行业/学术市场的建议。统计数据是从活动注册和参与的推荐书中收集的，以帮助产生有关人口所服务并评估赞助事件的影响的清晰人口统计数据。尽管所有组织工作都是在志愿时间内完成的，但事件计划的成本很高。由于Covid-19，所有2020年和2021年的活动均在线举行，因此仅需要最少的资金，但是前进的估计，基本计划将花费大约2022年的基本计划，如该提案中的详细描述，并且组织者希望通过增加参与者的数量来增强该计划，以增加该计划，以增加额外的供应商，以增加参与者的数量。 HCC PDS讨论了这一建议，并同意这些目标既值得称赞又及时，并且计划的活动可能会产生广泛的影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用该基金会的知识分子的优点和更广泛的影响来审查标准，认为通过评估来获得珍贵的支持。
