The National Center for Women and Information Technology (NCWIT) is running a series of "Knowledge Exchange Workshops" to build capacity in the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) community for broadening participation in computing (BPC). The workshops will bring together a range of stakeholders -- CISE Principal Investigators (PIs), department chairs, the CISE BPC Alliances, and other national organizations that focus on inclusion in science and engineering -- to support the PI community in planning for meaningful broadening activities as introduced in the recently issued Dear Colleague Letter (NSF 17-110).CISE has long supported work in broadening participation BPC with targeted programs and specific requirements in some solicitations. The pilot discussed in the Dear Colleague Letter aims to expand that work by encouraging involvement of the larger PI community. The workshops will promote a "Knowledge Exchange," giving the PIs and department chairs the chance to discuss their current BPC efforts, needs and concerns, and giving the Alliances and the other organizations the chance to describe their existing resources and programs, and the communities they serve. The expected outcomes include a wider understanding of the BPC efforts currently underway, the creation of new partnerships that will increase the availability of community efforts that individual PIs could join in fulfilling their own BPC goals, and facilitation of the development of departmental BPC plans that provide new opportunities for faculty involvement. These workshops will lead to an expansion of the community of CISE change leaders poised to implement reform efforts.

国家妇女和信息技术中心 (NCWIT) 正在举办一系列“知识交流研讨会”，以培养计算机和信息科学与工程 (CISE) 社区的能力，从而扩大对计算 (BPC) 的参与。这些研讨会将汇集一系列利益相关者——CISE 首席研究员 (PI)、系主任、CISE BPC 联盟以及其他专注于科学和工程包容性的国家组织——以支持 PI 社区规划有意义的扩展最近发布的《亲爱的同事信》(NSF 17-110) 中介绍的活动。CISE 长期以来一直通过有针对性的计划和一些招标中的具体要求来支持扩大参与 BPC 的工作。亲爱的同事信中讨论的试点旨在通过鼓励更大的 PI 社区的参与来扩大这项工作。这些研讨会将促进“知识交流”，让 PI 和部门主席有机会讨论他们当前的 BPC 工作、需求和关注点，并让联盟和其他组织有机会描述他们现有的资源和计划以及社区他们服务。预期成果包括对当前正在进行的 BPC 工作有更广泛的了解，建立新的合作伙伴关系，以增加社区工作的可用性，个人 PI 可以加入其中以实现自己的 BPC 目标，以及促进部门 BPC 计划的制定，以提供教师参与的新机会。这些研讨会将扩大准备实施改革工作的 CISE 变革领导者群体。
