CRA's Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research

摘要特殊项目计划- FY04CNS 0434310， PI的Carla S. Ellis（杜克大学），Andrew Bernat （CRA）和Mary J. Harrold（佐治亚理工学院），由计算研究协会（CRA）提交标题：计算研究协会妇女地位委员会这个特别项目奖授予计算研究协会妇女地位委员会（CRA- w），将为CRA- w扩大和加强其活动提供支持。提供的资金用于维持CRA-W委员会，并支持新的倡议，如研究生群体的长期跟踪，职业指导迷你研讨会，CRA-W的本科研究指导计划的前参与者的团聚，工业实验室的女性研究人员的新项目，与多样化计算联盟的共同努力，一个名为CRA-W之友的服务，帮助主要研究人员实施有意义的多样性计划。以及为高级女性举办的领导力峰会。自1991年以来，计算机研究协会的妇女地位委员会（CRA-W）一直在积极努力增加女性在计算机科学与工程（CS&amp；E）研究中的数量和成功方面处于全国领先地位。它是一个以行动为基础的委员会，执行旨在消除妇女充分参与研究管道所有阶段的障碍的项目。CRA-W对计算机科学和工程（CS&amp；E）社区产生了重大影响，直接影响了2000多名妇女，间接影响了数千名其他人。这个项目的智力价值在于CRA-W促进了CS&amp；E的广泛研究活动。CRA-W对项目评估的承诺将为其他对启动类似项目感兴趣的人提供重要的数据，说明什么有效，什么无效。这一努力的更广泛的影响在于提供指导机会和社区建设，以鼓励妇女参与cs&e研究，并提高整个cs&e学科对性别问题的认识。CRA-W项目涉及加州高等教育阶梯的每一个梯级。妇女权利倡议在各机构建立的妇女辅导网络在改善妇女的孤立状态方面发挥了重要作用。CRA-W项目对机构及其将女性纳入研究企业的方法产生了重大影响。

ABSTRACTSpecial Projects Program - FY04CNS 0434310, PI's Carla S. Ellis (Duke University), Andrew Bernat (CRA) and Mary J. Harrold (Georgia Tech.), submitted by the Computing Research Association (CRA)Title: CRA's Committee on the Status of Women in Computing ResearchThis Special Project award to the Computing Research Association's Committee on the status of women (CRA-W) will provide support to CRA-W to expand and enhance its activities. Funding is provided to maintain the CRA-W committee and to support new initiative's such as the long-term tracking of graduate student cohorts, career mentoring mini-workshops, a reunion of former participants of CRA-W's programs for undergraduate research mentoring, new projects for women researchers in industrial labs, joint efforts with the Coalition to Diversifying Computing, a service called Friends of CRA-W to help principal investigators implement meaningful diversity plans, and a leadership summit for senior women.The Computing Research Association's Committee on the status of women (CRA-W) has been a national leader since 1991 in positive efforts to increase the number and success of women in Computer Science and Engineering (CS&E) research. It is an action-based committee, implementing projects aimed at eliminating barriers to the full participation of women at all stages of the research pipeline. CRA-W has had a significant impact on the Computer Science & Engineering (CS&E) community, directly impacting over 2000 women and indirectly influencing thousands of others.The intellectual merit of this project lies in CRA-W facilitating a broad range of research activities in CS&E. CRA-W's commitment to program evaluation will provides important data on what works and what doesn't work for others interested in starting similar programs.The broader impact of this effort lies in CRA-W providing mentoring opportunities and community building to encourage women in CS&E research, and to increase the awareness of gender issues across the CS&E discipline. CRA-W programs address every rung of the ladder of higher education in CS&E. The networks of women mentoring women that CRA-W builds across institutions serve an essential function in ameliorating their isolation. CRA-W programs have a significant impact on institutions and their approach to including women in the research enterprise.
