9633159埃申，维维安菲斯克大学 CISE少数民族机构基础设施赠款提案：扩大少数民族管道：C.S.在菲斯克大学 菲斯克大学，一个小HBCU-MI与69.8%的女性学生有生产高素质的毕业生在许多科学学科的杰出声誉。 因此，菲斯克非常适合在国家努力增加非裔美国人和妇女在计算机科学的数量。 该项目的目的是制定一项五年计划，发展菲斯克成为吸引和留住计算机科学专业女学生和非裔美国学生的全国典范所需的人力和技术基础设施。 为了实现这一目标，北卡罗来纳州农业技术州立大学的贝林和门罗建议解决三个主要项目组成部分：招聘、指导和研究生学习（《计算研究新闻》，1995年1月）。 而不是针对学生经验的孤立方面，提出了一个广泛的战略，管理学生从高中到职业生涯的所有阶段的进展。 招聘是通过推广和桥梁计划，并扩大计算机科学的具体招聘工作。 留住人才的战略包括在各级提供奖学金和指导。 设立研究生学位课程和本科生研究课程是该计划的一个组成部分。 增强的基础设施支持教师研究计划的扩展，这是学生研究活动的基础。

9633159 Eschen, Elaine Fielder, Vivian Fisk University Proposal for CISE Minority Institutions Infrastructure Grant: Expanding the Minority Pipeline: C.S. at Fisk University Fisk University, a small HBCU-MI with 69.8% female students has an outstanding reputation of producing highly qualified graduates in many scientific disciplines. As such, Fisk is excellently situated to be instrumental in the national effort to increase the numbers of African-Americans and women in computer science. The purpose of this project is to design a five-year plan for the development of the human and technological infrastructure necessary for Fisk to be a national model for the attraction and retention of female and African-American computer science students. To attain this goal Bellin and Monroe of North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University recommend that three main program components be addressed: recruiting, mentoring and graduate study (Computing Research News, Jan. 95). Instead of targeting isolated aspects of the student experience, a broad strategy that manages all stages of student progress from high school to professional career is proposed. Recruitment is addressed by outreach and bridge programs, and expanded computer science specific recruitment efforts. Retention strategies include scholarships and mentoring at all levels. The establishment of a graduate degree program and under-graduate research programs is an integral part of the plan. The enhanced infrastructure supports the expansion of faculty research programs which are the basis for student research activities.
