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

该奖项的全部或部分资金来自《2021年美国救援计划法案》(公法117-2)。莫尔豪斯学院、佛罗里达大学、奥本大学和美国研究院将合作扩大非裔美国人计算科学导师研究所(iAAMCS，发音为“I am cs”)。IAAMCS作为计算界的国家资源，强调将指导作为增加非裔美国人参与计算的主要战略。IAAMCS旨在为通过iAAMCS活动相互联系的非裔美国研究人员建立一个生态系统，这些活动包括：奖学金写作训练营、未来教师和研究科学家指导计划、关于高等教育计算中黑人状况的年度报告，以及黑人学生匹配登记。IAAMCS将为非裔美国学生开发和传播计算机课程的指导内容资源和指导方针。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，从而增加学院、政府和行业中非裔美国人的研究人员数量。IAAMCS将进一步发挥其作为非裔美国人在计算领域的国家资源的作用，并为正在考虑获得计算机高级学位或注册参加研究生计算项目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将把导师、顾问和主题专家聚集在一起，努力为其成员提供支持、指导、信息、机会和网络。那些直接受到IAAMCS影响的参与者包括对研究生院感兴趣的非裔美国人计算本科生、非裔美国人计算研究生、CISE PI、CS系、BPC研究人员、非裔美国人CS教师和HBCU CS教师。这一联盟扩展的目标包括：1)增加研究生计算机专业的非裔美国学生；2)增加计算机研究生学位的非裔美国人接受者；3)增加进入教授职位的非裔美国人的人数；4)增加进入利用计算机高级学位的职业生涯的非裔美国人的人数；5)为全国传播的纵向数据收集和评估；6)支持CEISPI和CS部门寻求支持BPC的努力；以及7)支持HBCU和非裔美国计算机科学教师。IAAMCS的活动将全部归入原创节目、核心研究、平台管理和活动参与四个类别。通过使用YouTube和LinkedIn进行重大的创造性整合，IAAMCS计划扩大能够从其项目中受益的学生的范围。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。

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.
