This $1.32 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program will fund the Data Alliance on Persistence and Perception in Computing (DAPPIC). Led by Northeastern University from October 2022 to September 2024, DAPPIC will improve the availability and use of quantitative and qualitative data to support broadening participation in undergraduate computing education.

Specifically, DAPPIC will integrate enrollment, retention, and graduation data from the Computing Research Association's Center for Evaluating the Research Pipeline with dashboards created by Northeastern University's Center for Inclusive Computing. This combined data will provide detailed insights into computing student demographics, barriers to inclusion, and the impact of interventions. Additionally, $150,000 in subawards to the Computing Research Association will support integrating its Data Buddies Survey into the dashboards and developing new topic-specific surveys.

By establishing consistent standards for using broadening participation data, DAPPIC aims to help computing departments and the field overall increase representation among historically underrepresented groups in computing. The quantitative and qualitative insights generated will guide evidence-based approaches to broadening computing education access and outcomes.
