Florida International University proposes to explore the pathways and experiences of Black and Hispanic women in computer science (CS). Despite the growth in undergraduate CS enrollment nationally, the participation of women continues to be quite low. Research around their low participation has largely focused on the experiences of White women, and while its findings have resulted in a range of interventions aimed at increasing female participation in CS, those interventions have had little to no impact on engaging women of color. This research aims to develop an understanding of the experiences of Black and Hispanic women so that the CS community can begin to develop initiatives that are accessible and impactful for them. Based on an existing pilot, this research will explore the experiences of Black and Hispanic women in computing using the following theoretical frameworks as guide posts: social identity theory, intersectionality, and community cultural wealth. The exploratory sequential mixed methods design expands the Principal Investigator's preliminary qualitative work, with a rigorous mixed-methods inquiry. The first phase will gather exploratory, qualitative narratives and the second will collect quantitative date from a broader sample in order to explain the relationships found in the first phase for more generalizable results.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.

佛罗里达国际大学建议探索黑人和西班牙裔妇女在计算机科学（CS）的途径和经验。尽管全国的本科CS入学率有所增长，但女性的参与率仍然很低。围绕他们的低参与度的研究主要集中在白色妇女的经验，虽然其研究结果导致了一系列旨在增加女性参与CS的干预措施，但这些干预措施对有色人种妇女的参与几乎没有影响。这项研究旨在了解黑人和西班牙裔妇女的经历，以便CS社区能够开始制定对她们有影响力的举措。基于现有的试点，本研究将探讨黑人和西班牙裔妇女在计算使用以下理论框架作为指导职位的经验：社会认同理论，交叉性，和社区文化财富。探索性序贯混合方法设计扩展了主要研究者的初步定性工作，具有严格的混合方法调查。第一阶段将收集探索性的定性叙述，第二阶段将从更广泛的样本中收集定量数据，以解释第一阶段中发现的关系，从而获得更普遍的结果。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。
