NCWIT Participation in BPCNet (Broading Participation in Computing Network)

国家妇女和信息技术中心（NCWIT）提出了一个项目，为扩大计算（BPC）网络资源门户（BPCNet）的设计和人口做出贡献，BPCNet是一套在线资源，将计算研究人员与参与BPC活动的资源和机会联系起来。NCWIT将与计算研究协会（CRA）合作设计和实施BPCNet，提供项目框架、资源和建议，并在其管理和领导中发挥关键作用。此外，NCWIT将扩展其最成功和可扩展的项目的活动，包括计算机和信息科学与工程（CISE）的研究人员。这些项目包括“计算机抱负”、“AspireIT”、“计算机顾问”和“本科项目扩展服务”，以及其他已被评估并打包为易于使用的程序的资源。NCWIT的大型联盟包括公司、初创公司、学术机构、政府机构和非营利组织，在旨在提高女性在计算机领域的参与度的项目中取得了成功。例如，“计算机抱负”项目通过提供奖学金、实习和工作机会，在整个学术和职业生涯中为妇女和女孩提供支持。NCWIT的所有项目都涉及多个利益相关者的参与，因此提供了一个广泛的网络，这将是为BPCNet计划制定战略和基础设施的关键。该奖项由美国国家科学基金会（NSF） INCLUDES共同资助，该组织专注于促进科学、技术、工程和数学企业协同工作，以实现包容性变革。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。

The National Center for Women and Information Technology (NCWIT) proposes a project to contribute to the design and population of the Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) Network Resource Portal (BPCNet), an online set of resources to connect computing researchers with resources and opportunities to participate in BPC activities. NCWIT will collaborate with the Computing Research Association (CRA) in the design and implementation of BPCNet, providing program scaffolding, resources and advice, and playing a key role in its management and leadership. In addition, NCWIT will extend the activities of its most successful and scalable programs to include Computer and Information Sciences and Engineering (CISE) researchers. These include Aspirations in Computing, AspireIT, Counselors for Computing, and Extension Services for Undergraduate Programs, as well as other resources that have been evaluated and packaged as easy to use programs. NCWIT's large coalition of corporations, startups, academic institutions, government agencies, and non-profit organizations have a proven track record of successful programs that aim to increase the participation of women in computing. The Aspirations in Computing program, for example, supports women and girls throughout their entire academic and career pipeline by providing access to scholarships, internships, and job opportunities. All of NCWIT's programs involve participation of multiple stakeholders, and thus provide an extensive network that will be key in developing the strategy and infrastructure for the BPCNet initiative.This award is co-funded by NSF INCLUDES, which focuses on catalyzing the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics enterprise to collaboratively work for inclusive change.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.
