The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign proposes to host and facilitate a Workshop on Department Plans for Broadening Participation in Computing. Broadening participation in computing (BPC) is an important priority for the National Science Foundation's Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) and, in furtherance of that priority, CISE, for some of its programs, is piloting a requirement that proposers include a BPC Plan with their proposal. As part of that effort, CISE is encouraging departments to create Department BPC Plans that their researchers can leverage in their individual proposals. This workshop will assist departments in developing those plans. The workshop will host teams of 2-3 representatives, including the department chair, from 20-25 departments. The workshop will allow participants to share their own experiences with BPC activities, inform participants about the components of a BPC plan, let them know about ongoing and successful BPC activities that they can partner with, and assist them in developing and refining their own departmental BPC plan. After the workshop, a small team will spend additional time developing a white paper to provide guidance to departments in developing their BPC plans. Once the participants' plans are completed, they will be encouraged to post them on BPCnet.org as exemplars.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.

伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校提议主办并促进关于扩大计算机参与的部门计划研讨会。扩大对计算的参与 (BPC) 是美国国家科学基金会计算机和信息科学与工程理事会 (CISE) 的一个重要优先事项，为了促进这一优先事项，CISE 正在针对其某些项目试行一项要求，提案者包括BPC 计划及其提案。作为这项工作的一部分，CISE 鼓励各部门制定部门 BPC 计划，其研究人员可以在其个人提案中利用这些计划。该研讨会将协助各部门制定这些计划。研讨会将由来自 20-25 个部门的 2-3 名代表组成，其中包括系主任。该研讨会将让参与者分享他们自己的 BPC 活动经验，向参与者介绍 BPC 计划的组成部分，让他们了解他们可以合作的持续且成功的 BPC 活动，并协助他们开发和完善自己的部门 BPC计划。研讨会结束后，一个小团队将花费额外的时间编写白皮书，为各部门制定 BPC 计划提供指导。一旦参与者的计划完成，我们将鼓励他们将其作为范例发布在 BPCnet.org 上。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
