The Computing Research Association's Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research (CRA-W) proposes a project to pilot mechanisms that allow individual computer science and engineering (CSE) researchers to partner with its most successful flagship programs: Distributed Research Experiences for Undergraduates (DREU), Collaborative Research Experiences for Undergraduates (CREU), and Discipline-Specific Workshops (DSWs). These programs have helped to increase the numbers and successes of women and members of underrepresented groups who earn advanced degrees and pursue CSE research careers in academia, industry, or national labs. To date, they have been run with a relatively small group of dedicated volunteers from the CSE research community. Now CRA-W aims to expand the reach of those programs by involving more CSE researchers as partners. The proposal is in response to and in alignment with the effort undertaken by the Computer and Information Systems and Engineering (CISE) Directorate to increase and support the broadening participation in computing (BPC) activities among more of its awardees (NSF DCL 17-110).CRA-W's DREU, CREU and DSW programs have operated successfully and at-scale for many years. This work will engage a broader set of CISE-funded researchers in their operation. A researcher on a CISE-funded project , for example, could partner to send and/or receive a DREU student for a summer research project, or to support a CREU research team from their own university or a neighboring university, college or community college, or to host or contribute in some substantive way to the organization of a new DSW. This project will prepare the programs and their operational infrastructure (e.g. applications and management software) for the greater scale (both operationally and in terms of evaluation) that the new CISE effort is expected to require.This award is co-funded by NSF INCLUDES, which focuses on catalyzing the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) enterprise to collaboratively work for inclusive change.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.

计算机研究协会的计算机研究中女性地位委员会 (CRA-W) 提出了一个试点机制项目，允许个人计算机科学与工程 (CSE) 研究人员与其最成功的旗舰项目合作：本科生分布式研究经验 (CRA-W) DREU）、本科生合作研究经验（CREU）和特定学科研讨会（DSW）。这些计划帮助增加了女性和代表性不足群体成员的数量和成功，她们获得了高级学位并在学术界、工业界或国家实验室从事 CSE 研究职业。 迄今为止，它们是由来自 CSE 研究界的一小群专注的志愿者运行的。现在，CRA-W 的目标是通过让更多 CSE 研究人员作为合作伙伴来扩大这些项目的影响范围。该提案是对计算机和信息系统与工程 (CISE) 理事会为增加和支持更多获奖者扩大对计算 (BPC) 活动的参与而做出的努力的回应和配合 (NSF DCL 17-110) .CRA-W 的 DREU、CREU 和 DSW 项目已成功大规模运行多年。这项工作将让更广泛的 CISE 资助的研究人员参与其运作。例如，CISE 资助项目的研究人员可以合作派遣和/或接收 DREU 学生参加夏季研究项目，或者支持来自自己大学或邻近大学、学院或社区学院的 CREU 研究团队，或主办新的 DSW 或以某种实质性方式为组织做出贡献。该项目将准备项目及其运营基础设施（例如应用程序和管理软件），以实现新的 CISE 工作预期所需的更大规模（运营上和评估方面）。该奖项由 NSF 共同资助，包括：该奖项专注于促进科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 企业共同努力实现包容性变革。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力评估进行评估，认为值得支持优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
