Special Project: Computing Research Association's Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research

9907001Cuny, JaniceAspray， william计算机研究协会特别项目：计算研究协会的妇女在计算研究中的地位委员会该奖项授予计算研究协会（CRA），为支持妇女地位委员会（CRA- w）的活动提供资金。CRA-W成立于1991年，其目标是采取积极行动，增加女性在计算机科学和工程研究领域的数量和成功，目前她们在该领域的代表性明显不足。CRA-W发起了一系列广泛的项目，从高中水平，到本科和研究生水平，为新教员开发了讲习班，管理“系统学术”电子邮件列表，并在《计算研究新闻》上编辑定期专栏。此外，CRA-W提供了一个论坛，用于解决在妇女领域中不成比例的问题，并寻求对计算机科学和工程（CS&amp；E）中其他代表性不足的群体产生积极影响。正在考虑的新项目包括：举办一次由专业组织组成的委员会会议，以解决女性代表性不足的问题；建立一个基于网络的本科生研究展示平台；扩大他们的教师指导研讨会；为拥有cs&e领域博士学位的女性提供基于网络的简历服务；以及为有可能进入校园或国家领导职位的女性开发一个领导力研讨会。大多数CRA-W项目都是单独资助的。但是，该奖项提供资金支持委员会的基本活动，包括每年一次指导委员会和一次全体委员会会议的旅费支助以及最低限度的工作人员支助。

9907001Cuny, JaniceAspray, WilliamComputer Research AssociationSpecial Project: Computing Research Association's Committee on the Status of Women in Computing ResearchThis award to the Computing Research Association (CRA) provides funds to support activities of the Committee on the Status of Women (CRA-W). The CRA-W was established in 1991 with the goal of taking positive action to increase the number and success of women in Computer Science and Engineering Research, where they are currently significantly underrepresented. CRA-W has initiated a broad range of projects, from the high-school level, through the undergraduate and graduate levels, developed workshops for new faculty, moderates the "systers-academia" electronic mailing list and edits a regular column in the Computing Research News. In addition, CRA-W provides a forum for addressing problems that fall disproportionately within women's domains and seeks to have a positive impact for other underrepresented groups within Computer Science and Engineering (CS&E).New projects under consideration include hosting a meeting of committees from professional organizations that address underrepresention of women, establishing a web-based undergraduate research showcase, expanding their faculty mentoring workshops, maintaining a web-based resume service for women with Ph.D. degrees in CS&E fields, and developing a leadership workshop for women who could potentially move into leadership positions either on their campuses or at the national level.Most CRA-W projects are funded individually. However, this award provides funds to support the basic activities of the committee including travel support for one steering committee and one full committee meeting each year and a minimal amount of staff support.
