项目摘要

This HRD-1834620 is co-funded by NSF INCLUDES, which focuses on catalyzing the STEM enterprise to collaboratively work for inclusive change. This NSF INCLUDES Alliance is co-funded by the NSF Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) program, which targets The CREST provides support to enhance the research capabilities of minority serving institutions and promotes the development of new knowledge and an expanded presence of students historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines. This NSF INCLUDES Alliance is co-funded by the NSF Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) program, which seeks to increase the retention and graduation rates of students pursuing associate or baccalaureate degrees in STEM. A nationally recognized alliance established in 2006, the Computing Alliance of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (CAHSI) serves as the lead partner and backbone of the CAHSI INCLUDES Alliance for broadening participation of Hispanics in computing. The Alliance aligns with the five characteristics of an INCLUDES Alliance Program for achieving impact and fostering collaboration: vision; partnerships; goals and metrics; leadership and communication; and the potential for expansion, sustainability, and scale. The vision of the Alliance is: By 2030, Hispanics will represent 20% or more of those who earn credentials in computing. Credentials are defined as degrees and certifications that lead to gainful employment and advancement in the field. Its mission is to grow and sustain a networked community committed to recruiting, retaining, and accelerating the progress of Hispanics in computing. The established Alliance partnerships (academia, industry, non-profits, and governmental entities), which share the Alliance's vision and commitment to transformative change, are located in the following regions: Southwest (Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico), West (California), Southeast (Florida and Puerto Rico), and North (Illinois, New Jersey, and New York). Other partnerships are with some of the most impactful Hispanic organizations in the country (Excelencia in Education, Great Minds in STEM, and SACNAS). It is these vested partnerships that have helped position CAHSI onto a national platform that recognizes the Alliance's record for increasing the number of Hispanics who are competitive in the computing workforce and academia. In order to grow as a national alliance, while at the same time maintaining quality services and staying laser-focused on a shared vision, the Alliance goals are to: expand its infrastructure; create 'on-the-ground' regional leads and connectors to keep members engaged; focus on reinforcing activities that address local, regional, and cultural needs; and foster a culture of results-based accountability. The data management and evaluation teams will collect and share three levels of evaluative data as metrics for progress and improvement: institutional and individual student data; alliance and regional data; and comparisons of alliance data to national data. A key component of leadership and communication is the relevant and meaningful interactions within regions, across regions, and nationally. To expand, sustain, and scale, the Alliance leadership will build partnerships at the national level to advance Alliance partners' reach, resources, and impact on Hispanic students and faculty. Building trust and shared vision through regional leadership, fostering collective impact, maintaining effective communication channels, and cultivating a culture of continuous improvement are essential for sustainability.To accelerate change, CAHSI aims to support institutions committed to advancing Hispanic students in computing; provide on-ramps for other alliances, non-governmental organizations, and partners; and prepare the next generation of CAHSI leaders. By creating distributed on-the-ground support through geographically-distributed regional leadership, Alliance institutions will deeply engage with partners to learn what works well and what can be improved within their specific contexts. Led by a nationally renowned scholar, the CAHSI INCLUDES Alliance research investigation will contribute knowledge on what organizational conditions build capacity to transform development of culturally relevant and engaging educational strategies that support Hispanic students in computing. The investigation will provide valuable insight into institutional and pedagogical mechanisms to better serve Hispanic students in computing disciplines and in other STEM disciplines. Alliance efforts have the potential to scale organizational capacity-building efforts in a wider range of contexts.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.

该 HRD-1834620 由 NSF INCLUDES 共同资助，该机构致力于促进 STEM 企业协作实现包容性变革。该 NSF 包括联盟由 NSF 科学技术卓越研究中心 (CREST) 计划共同资助，其目标是 CREST 提供支持，以增强少数族裔服务机构的研究能力，并促进新知识的开发和扩大影响力历史上 STEM 学科中代表性不足的学生。该 NSF INCLUDES 联盟由 NSF 西班牙裔服务机构 (HSI) 计划共同资助，该计划旨在提高攻读 STEM 副学士学位或学士学位的学生的保留率和毕业率。西班牙裔服务机构计算联盟 (CAHSI) 是一个全国公认的联盟，成立于 2006 年，是 CAHSI INCLUDES 联盟的主要合作伙伴和支柱，旨在扩大西班牙裔美国人在计算领域的参与。该联盟符合联盟计划的五个特征，包括实现影响力和促进合作：愿景；伙伴关系；目标和指标；领导力和沟通；以及扩张、可持续性和规模的潜力。该联盟的愿景是：到 2030 年，西班牙裔将占获得计算机证书的人数的 20% 或更多。证书被定义为在该领域带来有酬就业和进步的学位和认证。其使命是发展和维持一个致力于招募、保留和加速西班牙裔计算机领域进步的网络社区。已建立的联盟合作伙伴关系（学术界、工业界、非营利组织和政府实体）位于以下地区：西南地区（亚利桑那州、德克萨斯州和新墨西哥州）、西部地区（加利福尼亚州），它们与联盟有着共同的愿景和对变革的承诺。）、东南部（佛罗里达州和波多黎各）和北部（伊利诺伊州、新泽西州和纽约州）。其他合作伙伴包括该国一些最具影响力的西班牙裔组织（Excelencia in Education、Great Minds in STEM 和 SACNAS）。正是这些既定的合作伙伴关系帮助 CAHSI 进入了一个国家平台，该平台承认该联盟在增加在计算劳动力和学术界具有竞争力的西班牙裔数量方面的记录。为了发展成为一个全国性联盟，同时保持优质服务并专注于共同愿景，联盟的目标是：扩大其基础设施；创建“实地”区域领导和联络人以保持会员参与；重点加强满足当地、区域和文化需求的活动；并培育基于结果的问责文化。数据管理和评估团队将收集和共享三个级别的评估数据作为进步和改进的指标：机构和个人学生数据；联盟和区域数据；以及联盟数据与国家数据的比较。领导力和沟通的一个关键组成部分是区域内、区域间和国家范围内相关且有意义的互动。为了扩大、维持和扩大规模，联盟领导层将在国家层面建立合作伙伴关系，以扩大联盟合作伙伴的影响力、资源和对西班牙裔学生和教师的影响。通过区域领导建立信任和共同愿景、培养集体影响力、维持有效的沟通渠道以及培养持续改进的文化对于可持续发展至关重要。为了加速变革，CAHSI 旨在支持致力于提高西班牙裔学生计算能力的机构；为其他联盟、非政府组织和合作伙伴提供入口；并培养下一代 CAHSI 领导人。通过地理上分散的区域领导层建立分布式的实地支持，联盟机构将与合作伙伴深入接触，以了解在其具体情况下哪些行之有效以及哪些可以改进。由一位全国知名学者领导的 CAHSI INCLUDES 联盟研究调查将提供有关哪些组织条件可以构建能力的知识，以转变文化相关且有吸引力的教育策略的发展，从而支持西班牙裔学生的计算机学习。该调查将为机构和教学机制提供宝贵的见解，以更好地为计算机学科和其他 STEM 学科的西班牙裔学生提供服务。联盟的努力有可能在更广泛的背景下扩大组织能力建设工作。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
