EAGER: BPCnet: A Broadening Participation Resource Portal

计算研究协会（CRA）建议建立一个网站，称为“BPCNet资源门户”，由CRA托管。BPCNet将支持和扩大美国国家科学基金会（NSF）计算机和信息系统与工程（CISE）理事会最近开展的工作，以吸引更多的主要研究人员（PI）参与计算（BPC）活动。BPCNet资源门户网站将为CISE PI提供资源，使他们能够搜索BPC中最好的和有前途的实践。更重要的是，它将允许他们通过提供范例找到并连接到集体影响的努力（1）部门BPC计划，和（2）脚手架，让CISE PI参与现有的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）和BPC程序由一系列组织运行. CRA将参加一系列研讨会，以进一步规划网站的作用，并就其设计和部署征求反馈意见。它将召集两个委员会来维护和管理该门户网站：一个评估委员会，包括研究管道评估中心和国家妇女和信息技术中心的代表;一个指导委员会，包括CRA董事会成员、妇女在计算机研究中的地位小组委员会（CRA-W）的委员会成员以及面向多样性的组织的代表，这将指导门户网站的方向和与社区的接口。最后，CRA的影响力及其在社区中的召集作用将使这一资源可见，利用其工作人员和委员会进行策展，并利用其现有的传播渠道。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。

The Computing Research Association (CRA) proposes to build a website, called the"BPCNet Resource Portal" to be hosted at CRA. BPCNet will support and amplify the efforts that the Computer and Information Systems and Engineering (CISE) Directorate at the National Science Foundation (NSF) has recently undertaken to engage more of its Principal Investigators (PIs) in broadening participation in computing (BPC) activities.The BPCNet Resource Portal will provide resources for CISE PIs, allowing them to search for best and promising practices in BPC. More importantly, it will allow them to find and connect to collective impact efforts by providing exemplars of (1) departmental BPC plans, and (2) scaffolding that lets CISE PIs participate in existing Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and BPC programs run by a range of organizations. CRA will participate in a series of workshops to further plan the role of the website and obtain feedback on its design and deployment. It will convene two committees to maintain and curate the portal: an Evaluation Committee that includes representatives of the Center for Evaluating the Research Pipeline (CERP) and the National Center for Women and Information Technology (NCWIT); a Steering Committee that includes CRA Board members and committee members from its Subcommittee on the Status of Women in Computing Research (CRA-W), and representatives of diversity-oriented organizations, that will guide the direction of the portal and interface with the community. Finally, CRA's reach and its convening role in the community will make this resource visible, leverage its staff and Committees for curation, and exploit its existing dissemination avenues.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.
