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

计算机和科技领域还没有看到女性、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充分参与。 该项目的基本问题是为教育、社会提供潜在的好处，并为不同人口群体在计算方面的经验提供证据。计算研究协会的扩大参与委员会（CRA-WP）的指导计划提出了支持教育和计算劳动力的多样性，最终使整个社会受益。计算机教授的职位这些活动在鼓励不同的本科生和研究生方面非常成功。计算研究协会的扩大参与计算研究委员会（CRA-WP）计划发展其指导计划，主要有三个目标：1）指导通过非传统途径重新进入计算研究; 2）通过他们的计划鼓励、跟踪和评估指导途径，以提高保留率;以及3）通过导师指导来培养领导者，以提高他们的规模和影响力。校友跟踪也将有助于表征中期和长期的影响代表性不足。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得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的支持。

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.
