NSF INCLUDES DDLP: Diversifying Future Leadership in the Professoriate in Computing at Research Universities

Flip(多元化未来领导力在教授中)是一项NSF包括设计和开发启动试点的项目，其目标是解决日益扩大的参与挑战，即增加研究型大学计算教授未来领导力的多样性，以此作为实现整个领域多样性的一种方式。根据2016年CRA陶尔比调查，在授予博士学位的大学中，只有4.3%的终身教职员工来自代表性不足的少数族裔。解决这一挑战很重要，因为不同的教师在以下关键方面为学术界做出了贡献：为不同的研究机构树立了优秀的榜样；为系制定的学生计划和政策带来了不同的背景；为研究项目和计划带来了不同的视角。此外，重点放在研究型大学上，因为在实践中，关键的国家领导角色，如在影响计算领域的国家委员会任职，往往来自研究型大学。Flip Launch试点的共同目的和广泛愿景是，通过增加顶尖计算教师队伍的博士毕业生的多样性，增加研究型大学计算教师的多样性。重点关注在计算机领域代表性不足的四个群体：非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美洲原住民和土著人民以及残疾人。长期目标是通过与那些拥有顶尖计算教师的机构和专注于STEM不同学生的组织建立战略伙伴关系来实现这一愿景，以及通过合作伙伴关系共同采用经过验证的战略来招聘、毕业和为学术生涯培养不同的博士生。试点的目的是在不同的合作伙伴之间建立一个统一的方法，该方法将建立在经过验证的战略的基础上，以开发新的做法，以增加重点机构的博士毕业生的多样性，从而增加研究型大学计算方面的教师多样性。在试点中，Flip将专注于现有博士生的招聘和录取以及专业发展。

The goal of FLIP (Diversifying Future Leadership in the Professoriate), an NSF INCLUDES Design and Development Launch Pilot, is to address the broadening participation challenge of increasing the diversity of the future leadership in the professoriate in computing at research universities as a way to achieve diversity across the field. According to the 2016 CRA Taulbee Survey, only 4.3% of the tenure-track faculty at PhD-granting universities are from underrepresented minorities. This challenge is important to address because diverse faculty contributes to academia in the following critical ways: serve as excellent role models for a diverse study body, bring diverse backgrounds to the student programs and policies developed by the department, and bring diverse perspectives to the research projects and programs. Further, the focus is on research universities, because in practice, key national leadership roles, such as serving on national committees that impact thefield of computing, often come from research universities.The shared purpose and broad vision of the FLIP launch pilot is to increase faculty diversity in computing at research universities by increasing the diversity of PhD graduates from the top producers of computing faculty. The focus is on four underrepresented groups in computing: African Americans; Hispanics; Native Americans and indigenous peoples; and Persons with Disabilities. The long-term goal is to pursue this vision through strategic partnerships with those institutions that are the top producers of computing faculty and organizations that focus on diverse students in STEM, as well as partnerships that collectively adopt proven strategies for recruiting, graduating, and preparing a diverse set of doctoral students for academic careers. The purpose of the pilot is to establish a unified approach across the different partners that will build upon proven strategies to develop novel practices for increasing the diversity of the PhD graduates from key institutions, thereby increasing the faculty diversity in computing at research universities. For the pilot, FLIP will focus on recruitment and admissions and professional development for current PhD students.
