This award is a one-year extension of the STARS Computing Corps Alliance for Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC). The primary research aim of extension is to investigate research questions around the impact of the STARS Computing Corps Alliance on its past and current efforts to broaden participation in computing. This longitudinal evaluation has the potential to elucidate successful components of BPC Alliances and their role as national resources on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in computing. Further, the results of this study could further extend knowledge about practices designed to increase persistence and support career advancement in computing for undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty, particularly for those from underrepresented groups. The conferences, communities, and networks supported through STARS will continue to create significant institutional and human resources that could increase the reach of BPC research to a larger audience of researchers, educators, administrators, CS departments, and K-20 students.In addition to understanding the longitudinal impact of the STARS Computing Corps on computing persistence and career advancement for underrepresented students and faculty, the work also aims to 1) formalize existing STARS efforts for propagating best-practices for BPC; 2) expand STARS online resources designed to build capacity for engaging in BPC evaluation and research; 3) develop a virtual STARS alumni community; and 4) continue to support an academic community for BPC through STARS Celebration and RESPECT.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.

该奖项是恒星计算军团联盟的一年延长，用于扩大计算参与（BPC）。扩展的主要研究目的是调查有关恒星计算兵联盟对其过去和当前范围扩大计算参与的努力的研究问题。这种纵向评估有可能阐明BPC联盟的成功组成部分及其在计算中多样性，公平和包容性问题上作为国家资源的作用。此外，这项研究的结果可以进一步扩展有关旨在提高持久性和支持职业发展的实践的知识，并在本科生，研究生和教职员工的计算方面，尤其是对人数不足的群体的实践。通过恒星支持的会议，社区和网络将继续创造重要的机构和人力资源，可以将BPC研究的覆盖范围扩大到更多的受众群体，教育者，教育工作者，管理人员，CS部门和K-20学生的范围内。除了理解恒星对现有恒星的纵向影响，还针对一名未来的学生和培养的学生的纵向影响，并将其努力计算为1），这是对1个正式的努力，并旨在使学生对1次培训，并旨在使学生培养一项工作，并旨在使一名未来的学生努力训练。传播BPC的最佳实践； 2）扩大旨在建立BPC评估和研究能力的在线资源； 3）发展一个虚拟星校友社区； 4）继续通过明星庆祝和尊重来支持BPC的学术界。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评论标准来评估值得支持的。
