This Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) award funds the collaborative project between thenComputing Research Association's Committee on the Status of Women in Research (CRA-W) and the Coalition to Diversify Computing (CDC) to increase the participation of women and underrepresented minorities in computing research on a national level. This BPC Alliance plans to accomplish their goal by providing mentoring, networking, community building, and highly visible role models to women and underrepresented minorities in computing. The alliance addresses all stages of the CISE research pipeline from undergraduates to senior faculty and researcher levels. With this extension, the CRA-W/CDC Alliance proposes to improve, extend and evaluate its programs in the following ways: The highly effective Distributed Research Experiences for Undergraduates (DREU) program will continue and be expanded to include students with disabilities in partnership with AccessComputing. The Community Research Experiences for Undergraduates (CREU) will become more flexible and open to new ways of creating a community of undergraduate researchers. Undergraduate Research Mentoring Workshops (URMW) will be offered in various formats, including the Distinguished Lecture Series (DLS), CRA-W sessions at the Grace Hopper Celebrations, and increasingly, to regional conferences such as the STARS Celebrations and with the new partnership with the ABI/ACM-W Grace Hopper Regional Consortium. By developing a portable package of materials and services, the CRA-W/CDC Alliance will enable other groups to incorporate research mentoring workshops into their events. The materials will be disseminated on the CRA-W website and with its partner, NCWIT, as "Programs-in-a-box". The Discipline-Specific Workshops (DSW) will continue to provide graduate students and young researchers with skills and networking opportunities tailored for a successful research career in their particular subfield of CS&E. Career Mentoring Workshops (CMW) aimed at fresh PhDs and new Assistant Professors will be expanded to provide meaningful new content for the emerging postdoc population. Materials for CISE PIs will be designed to facilitate incorporating CRA-W/CDC programs as broader impacts of their research proposals. The alliance will emphasize mechanisms for program sustainability and institutional change, such as increased mentor funding of DREUs and ownership of DSWs by professional organizations. Extensive evaluation of programs will include the goal of answering the specific question of how women and minorities that participate in the programs of the CRA-W/CDC Alliance fare with respect to those who do not. The CRA-W/CDC Alliance will continue its existing partnerships with the STARS Alliance and the Anita Borg Institute and will establish new partnerships with ACM-W and the AccessComputing Alliance.Intellectual Merit: The proposed programs facilitate a broad range of research activities in computer and information science and engineering. These efforts will increase our understanding of the issues and remedies for underrepresentation in computing, and possibly more broadly, across STEM. In particular it will provide information on the extent to which programs that have already proven successful for women can be adapted for other underrepresented groups. Broader Impacts: The proposed programs provide mentoring and networking opportunities and increase awareness of diversity issues across the computing disciplines. They address every rung of the ladder of computing research, from undergraduates to full professors and senior researchers. They have the potential to give many members of underrepresented groups the knowledge, skills and confidence to succeed in the existing world of computer science.

这项扩大了计算奖（BPC）奖的资金为thencomputing研究协会的研究妇女地位（CRA-W）（CRA-W）与多元化计算联盟（CDC）之间的合作项目提供了资金，以增加妇女的参与与代表性不足的少数群体在国家一级的计算研究中的参与。 这个BPC联盟计划通过向妇女和代表性不足的计算少数民族提供指导，网络，社区建设和高度可见的榜样来实现其目标。 该联盟介绍了CISE研究管道的所有阶段，从本科生到高级教师和研究人员级别。通过此扩展，CRA-W/CDC联盟提议通过以下方式改进，扩展和评估其计划：本科生（DREU）计划的高效分布式研究经验将继续并扩展到包括与访问计算合作的残疾学生。本科生（CREU）的社区研究经验将变得更加灵活，并开放创建本科研究人员社区的新方法。本科生研究指导研讨会（URMW）将以各种格式提供，包括杰出的讲座系列（DLS），Grace Hopper庆祝活动的CRA-W会议，以及越来越多的与ABI/ACM-W Grace Hopper Regial Inalium Inalium the Stars Celebrations以及与新的合作伙伴关系的区域会议。通过开发便携式材料和服务包装，CRA-W/CDC联盟将使其他团体能够将研究指导研讨会纳入其活动。这些材料将在CRA-W网站上传播，并与其合作伙伴NCWIT为“ a-a-box”。特定学科的讲习班（DSW）将继续为研究生和年轻的研究人员提供针对CS＆E特定研究职业的成功研究职业量身定制的技能和网络机会。针对新的博士学位和新助理教授的职业指导研讨会（CMW）将被扩展，为新兴的博士后人口提供有意义的新内容。 Cise PIS的材料将旨在促进将CRA-W/CDC程序纳入其研究建议的更广泛影响。该联盟将强调针对计划可持续性和机构变革的机制，例如，专业组织对Dreus的导师资金增加以及DSW的所有权。对计划的广泛评估将包括回答一个具体问题，即如何参与CRA-W/CDC联盟票价方案的妇女和少数民族如何相对于那些不这样做的人。 CRA-W/CDC联盟将继续与星际联盟和Anita Borg Institute建立现有的合作伙伴关系，并将与ACM-W建立新的合作伙伴关系和AccessComputing Alliance。Intlectual Feriortual：拟议的计划促进了计算机和信息科学和工程领域的广泛研究活动。这些努力将增加我们对计算中代表性不足的问题和补救措施的理解，并且可能更广泛地跨过STEM。特别是，它将提供有关妇女已证明成功的计划的程度的信息，可以适应其他代表性不足的群体。 更广泛的影响：拟议的计划提供指导和网络机会，并提高对计算学科多样性问题的认识。他们解决了计算研究阶梯的每个舞台，从本科生到完整的教授和高级研究人员。他们有潜力使许多人数不足的团体成员在现有的计算机科学世界中取得成功的知识，技能和信心。
