HBCU Computer Science Workshop

美国国家科学基金会（NSF）计算机与信息科学与工程理事会（CISE）致力于扩大未被充分代表的人群在计算和密切相关学科中的参与。事实上，CISE强烈鼓励采取有意义的行动，解决长期以来各种人群在计算机领域代表性不足的问题，包括妇女、少数民族（非裔美国人/黑人、西班牙裔美国人、美洲印第安人、阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民、太平洋原住民和经济背景不利的人）和残疾人。不幸的是，自2012年以来，只有少数（或没有）历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）参与了提案提交/奖励，以扩大计算机领域的参与。尽管有新的NSF项目，如21世纪的计算机教育（CE21）以及科学、技术、工程和数学-计算（STEM-C）合作伙伴关系，但hbcu提交和授予的提案仍然很少。这次研讨会将使HBCU计算机科学/计算学院能够合作，解决与扩大参与有关的需求，并制定跨机构战略，以提高研究成果。研讨会参与者将参与CS会议的研讨会后会议，以提高与NSF资助相关的问责制水平。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 Science Foundation's (NSF) Directorate for Computer and Information Science andEngineering (CISE) is committed to broadening the participation of underrepresented populations incomputing and closely-related disciplines. Indeed, CISE strongly encourages meaningful actions thataddress the longstanding underrepresentation of various populations including women, minorities(African Americans/Blacks, Hispanic Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians,Native Pacific Islanders, and persons from economically disadvantaged backgrounds), and persons withdisabilities, in the computing field.Unfortunately, only a few (or no) historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have participated in proposal submission/awardees to broadening participation in computing since 2012. Even though there are newer NSF programs, such as Computing Education for 21st Century (CE21) along with Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics-Computing (STEM-C) Partnerships, there are still few proposals submitted by and awarded to HBCUs.This workshop will enable HBCU computer science/computing faculty to collaborate and address the needs associated with broadening participation and create cross-institutional strategies to increase research outcomes. Workshop participants will engage in post-workshop meetings at CS conferences and virtually to increase the level of accountability associated with NSF grantsmanship.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.
