The Computing Research Association will extend the work of the BPCnet resource to conduct a series of four workshops to involve more departments in the development of meaningful Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) plans. These workshops enable participants to develop departmental BPC plans while receiving real time feedback from BPC experts. These workshops will employ a combination of content delivery, hands-on plan development, and realtime feedback. Once each workshop concludes, participants will have the opportunity to receive additional feedback for refinement of their plans developed during the workshop. Each workshop will be evaluated to assess their efficacy. This project brings together experts who have extensive experience in broadening participation and faculty to help the faculty create plans that will have a meaningful impact on increasing diversity in computing. With the resulting plans, departments and faculty will be able to implement activities that will facilitate pathways for a diverse range of students to careers in computing.To support computing departments and faculty’s efforts for broadening participation, this project will run a series of four workshops on developing Departmental BPC Plans. These interactive workshops will bring together academic faculty at various levels within a department to learn about the CISE requirements for BPC and give them the space to develop their Departmental BPC Plan. These workshops will be recorded professionally and will be provided as a resource to the broader community. Attending departments of these workshops will be tracked over time using follow-up surveys in an effort to facilitate the continued development and implementation of the Departmental BPC Plans. A network of BPC plan consultants will be available to support the departments and faculty during the plan development process outside of the workshops. Consultants working with departments (or individual PIs) will provide a sustained connection for continued support. Departmental BPC Plans that have been refined and reviewed with a consultant will be approved by the consultant and the BPC Plan Workshops Steering Committee for final upload to BPCnet.org, a resource portal supporting this initiative. By combining the workshops and consultancy activities with the generation of resources for the BPCnet portal, the project will be able to have lasting impact beyond the duration of this award. Effectiveness of the workshops will be evaluated through data collected from the faculty using feedback and follow-up surveys as well as focus groups aimed at measuring the progress made towards creating meaningful BPC plans.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.

计算研究协会将扩展BPCNET资源的工作，以进行一系列四个研讨会，以使更多部门参与有意义的扩大计算计划（BPC）计划。这些研讨会使参与者能够制定部门BPC计划，同时收到BPC专家的实时反馈。这些研讨会将结合内容交付，动手计划开发和实时反馈。每次研讨会结束后，参与者将有机会收到其他反馈，以完善他们在研讨会期间制定的计划。每个研讨会将进行评估以评估其有效性。该项目汇集了在扩大参与和教师方面具有丰富经验的专家，以帮助教师制定计划，这些计划将对增加计算的多样性产生有意义的影响。通过由此产生的计划，部门和教职员工将能够实施活动，这些活动将促进潜水员范围的学生从事计算机的职业。为了支持计算部门和教职员工扩大参与的努力，该项目将开展四个有关制定部门BPC计划的研讨会。这些互动式研讨会将使部门内各个层次的学术教师汇集在一起​​，以了解BPC的CISE要求，并为他们提供制定部门BPC计划的空间。这些研讨会将专业记录，并将作为更广泛的社区提供资源。参加这些研讨会的部门将随着时间的推移跟踪，以支持持续开发和实施BPC计划的持续发展和实施。 BPC计划顾问网络将在研讨会以外的计划发展过程中为部门和教师提供支持。与部门（或单个PIS）合作的顾问将提供持续的联系以持续支持。已与顾问进行了完善和审查的部门BPC计划将获得顾问和BPC计划讲习班指导委员会的批准，以最终上传到BPCNET.org，这是一个支持该计划的资源门户网站。通过将研讨会和便利活动与BPCNET门户的资源相结合，该项目将能够超过本奖项的持久影响。研讨会的有效性将通过使用反馈和后续调查从教师收集的数据以及旨在衡量创建有意义的BPC计划取得的进展的焦点小组进行评估。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估基金会的知识和更广泛的影响来诚实地认为，通过评估诚实的支持。
