| Description: | This alliance is an ambitious 9-institution collaboration that will result in significant, sustained increase in enrollment and graduation of African Americans in graduate level computing degree programs and entry into research-oriented careers. The program, based on the combined experience of committed partners, will strengthen undergraduate computing programs, create and maintain research experiences for undergraduates, and support ongoing research and teaching partnerships among faculty members. These activities will increase African Americans’ entry into computing research careers, support new faculty in maximizing their career potential, and produce a steady progression of role models for undergraduate students, indirectly increasing the participation of African Americans in computing research professions through provision of those who have the greatest effect on entry: African-American faculty. |
