EAGER: New and Returning Research Scholars: Introducing Research Career Pathways to Women through On-Site Mentoring at GHC

计算研究协会的女性在计算研究中的地位委员会(CRA-W)旨在增加女性在计算机科学与工程(CSE)研究职业中的数量和成功。根据这项提议，她们将在2018年Grace Hopper计算女性庆典(GHC)范围内工作，以(1)增加CSE专业本科生对研究的参与度，并鼓励她们对研究生的兴趣和准备，以及(2)为曾在行业工作并正在考虑以研究为重点的职业转变的女性提供信息、指导和支持。CRA-W将继续发展CRA-W GHC研究学者计划，该计划于2017年试行，该计划将本科生带到Grace Hopper计算女性庆典(GHC)，为他们提供专注于研究的体验。此外，CRA-W将试行一项新的GHC返校学者计划，面向可能有兴趣从行业返回研究生院的女性。这两个方案都将利用GHC提供的榜样和现有的方案。此外，他们还将提供(1)指导对研究感兴趣的学生如何驾驭会议上的大量产品，(2)为学生提供在小组环境中与具有相似兴趣的同行、榜样和导师见面和互动的机会，(3)为对专注于研究的职业转变感兴趣的行业专业人员提供导师和榜样，以及(4)为追求和成功的研究事业提供有用的建议。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Computing Research Association's Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research (CRA-W) aims to increase the numbers and successes of women in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) research careers. With this proposal, they will work within the 2018 Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC) to (1) increase the engagement of undergraduate women CSE majors in research and encourage their interest in and preparation for graduate school, and (2) provide information, mentorship, and support for women who have worked in industry and are considering a research-focused career change. CRA-W will continue the development the CRA-W GHC Research Scholars Program, piloted in 2017, that brings undergraduates to the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC), providing them with a research-focused experience. In addition, CRA-W will pilot a new GHC Returning Scholars Program for women potentially interested in returning to graduate school from industry. Both programs will capitalize on the availability of role models and existing programming at GHC. In addition, they will provide (1) guidance to research-interested students on how to navigate the vast offerings at the conference, (2) opportunities for students to meet and interact with peers, role models, and mentors with similar interests in small-group settings, (3) mentors and role models for industry professionals interested in a research-focused career change, and (4) useful advice for pursuing and succeeding in a research career.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.
