Morehouse and Spelman Colleges will plan and design a collaborative center in Socially Relevant Computing. The center will provide interdisciplinary education, research, and workforce development for African American undergraduate computer science students, particularly those who are at risk for degree completion. In addition, the center will create an ecosystem of partners to conduct research that leads to innovations to address critical societal problems of national priority and demonstrated interventions to increase the representation of African Americans in graduate school and the STEM workforce. The principal investigators will implement the proposed project in multiple stages that include an internal assessment of capability and infrastructure requirements, an external assessment of relevant existing computer science centers for benchmarking, curriculum enhancements, and a pilot education research project to test an evidence-based socially relevant computing intervention concept. The project will help articulate strategies for developing degree pathways to increase persistence in computing for African Americans.

Morehouse和Spelman学院将计划和设计与社会相关计算的协作中心。 该中心将为非裔美国人本科计算机科学专业的学生，​​尤其是那些有学位填补风险的人提供跨学科的教育，研究和劳动力发展。 此外，该中心将创建一个合作伙伴的生态系统，以进行研究，从而导致创新解决国家优先事项的关键社会问题，并展示干预措施，以增加非裔美国人在研究生院和STEM劳动力中的代表性。首席研究人员将在多个阶段实施拟议项目，包括对能力和基础设施要求的内部评估，对现有的现有计算机科学中心的外部评估，用于基准测试，课程增强功能以​​及试验教育研究项目，以测试基于证据的社会相关计算干预概念。 该项目将有助于阐明制定学位途径以增加非洲裔美国人计算的持久性的策略。
