BPC-AE: Widening Participation in Computing Research via Deepening Mentoring Programs

在计算和技术领域，认为女性、黑人/非裔美国人、西班牙裔/拉丁裔、美洲原住民、夏威夷人、阿拉斯加人、亚太岛民和残疾人的人没有足够的参与。该项目的基本问题是，该项目为教育、社会提供了潜在的好处，并为不同人口群体在计算方面的经验提供了证据。计算研究协会的扩大参与委员会(CRA-WP)的指导计划建议支持教育和计算劳动力的多样性，最终使整个社会受益。计算机系教授。过去，这些活动非常成功地鼓励了不同的本科生和研究生。计算研究协会的扩大计算研究参与委员会(CRA-WP)计划扩大其指导计划，主要有三个目标：1)通过非传统途径为重新进入计算研究提供指导；2)通过他们的计划鼓励、跟踪和评估指导途径，以提高留存率；3)通过指导指导来扩大领导者的人才库，以提高他们的规模和覆盖范围。校友追踪也将有助于确定对代表不足的中长期影响的特征。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。

The computing and tech fields have not seen adequate participation from people who identify as female, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native American, Hawaiian, Alaskan, Asian Pacific Islander, and people with disabilities. The fundamental issues the project offers potential benefits to education, society and establishing evidence for the experience of different demographic groups in computing. The Computing Research Association’s Committee on Widening Participation’s (CRA-WP) mentoring programs proposed support education and diversity of the computing workforce which ultimately benefit society as a whole. of the computing professoriate. These activities have been very successful at encouraging diverse undergraduate and graduate students in the past.The Computing Research Association's Committee on Widening Participation in Computing Research (CRA-WP) plans to grow its mentoring programs with three main goals:1) Mentoring for re-entry into computing research through non-traditional pathways; 2) Encouraging, tracking, and evaluating mentoring pathways through their programs to improve retention; and 3) Growing a pool of leaders through mentor mentoring to improve their scale and reach. Alumni tracking will also help characterize medium and long term impacts on underrepresentation.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.
