BPC-AE: Collaborative: Evolution of the Institute for African Americans in Computing Sciences (IAAMCS)

该奖项全部或部分由《2021年美国救援计划法案》（公法117-2）资助。莫尔豪斯学院（Morehouse College）、佛罗里达大学（University of Florida）、奥本大学（Auburn University）和美国研究院（American Institutes for Research）将合作扩展“非裔美国人计算机科学指导研究所”（iAAMCS，发音为“i am cs”）。iAAMCS是计算机社区的全国性资源，并强调将指导作为增加非裔美国人参与计算机的主要策略。iAAMCS旨在为非裔美国研究人员建立一个生态系统，这些研究人员通过iAAMCS的活动相互联系，包括：奖学金写作训练营、未来教师和研究科学家指导计划、高等教育中黑人计算状况年度报告和黑人学生匹配登记处。iAAMCS将为计算机专业的非裔美国学生开发和传播指导内容资源和指南。iAAMCS的首要目标是增加获得计算机研究生学位的非裔美国人的数量，从而增加在学术界、政府和工业界的非裔美国研究人员的数量。IAAMCS将进一步发挥其作为非裔美国人在计算机领域的全国性资源的作用，并为正在考虑获得计算机高级学位或参加计算机研究生课程的非裔美国人提供信息、通信、网络和评估社区。作为一个联盟，iAAMCS将汇集导师、顾问和主题专家，努力为其成员提供支持、指导、信息、机会和网络。受IAAMCS直接影响的参与者包括对研究生院感兴趣的非裔美国计算机本科生、非裔美国计算机研究生、CISE pi、计算机系、BPC研究人员、非裔美国计算机教师和HBCU计算机教师。这次联盟扩展的目标包括：1)增加非裔美国学生在研究生计算机专业的学习；2)非裔美国人获得计算机研究生学位的人数增加；3)增加非裔美国人进入教授行列的人数；4)增加非裔美国人进入利用计算机高级学位的职业的人数；5)纵向数据收集和评价，以便在全国传播；支持CISE pi和CS部门支持BPC工作；7)支持HBCU和非裔美国计算机科学教师。iAAMCS活动将分为原创节目、核心研究、平台管理和活动参与。通过对YouTube和LinkedIn的创造性整合，IAAMCS计划扩大学生的覆盖面，让他们从其节目中受益。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).Morehouse College, University of Florida, Auburn University, and the American Institutes for Research will collaborate to extend the Institute for African-American Mentoring in Computing Sciences (iAAMCS, pronounced "i am cs"). iAAMCS serves as a national resource for the computing community and emphasizes mentoring as a primary strategy for increasing the participation of African-Americans in computing. iAAMCS seeks to build an ecosystem for African American researchers that have connected to each other through iAAMCS activities including: Fellowship Writing Bootcamp, Future Faculty and Research Scientist Mentoring Program, Annual Report on the State of Blacks in Computing in Higher Education, and the Black Student Matching Registry. iAAMCS will develop and disseminate mentoring content resources and guidelines for African American students in computing programs. The overarching goal of the iAAMCS is to increase the number of African-Americans obtaining graduate computing degrees leading to an increase in the number of African-American researchers in the academy, government, and industry. IAAMCS will further its role as a national resource for African Americans in computing and serve as an information, communication, networking, and evaluation community for African Americans who are either considering an advanced degree in computing or enrolled in a graduate computing program. As an alliance, iAAMCS will bring together mentors, advisors, and subject matter experts in an effort to provide support, mentoring, information, opportunities, and networking to its members. Those participants directly impacted by IAAMCS include African American computing undergraduates who are interested in graduate school, African American computing graduate students, CISE PIs, CS departments, BPC researchers, African American CS faculty, and HBCU CS faculty. The goals for this alliance extension include: 1) Increase in African American students in graduate computing programs; 2) Increase in African American recipients of graduate degrees in computing; 3) Increase the number of African Americans who enter the professoriate; 4) Increase the number of African Americans who enter careers that utilize an advanced degree in computing; 5) Longitudinal data collection and evaluation for national dissemination; 6) Support CISE PIs and CS Departments looking to support BPC efforts; and 7) Support HBCU and African American computer science faculty. iAAMCS activities will all fall in the categories of Original Programming, Core Research, Platform Management, and Event Participation. Through significant, creative integrations using YouTube and LinkedIn, IAAMCS plans to expand the reach of students who can benefit from its programming.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.
