The National Science Foundation (NSF) is providing a $299,181 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program to the University of Colorado to study the mechanisms that lead to a lack of diversity in computer science (CS) research subfields. The three-part study includes in-depth interviews, textual analysis of subfield discourse, and a large-scale survey to quantify participation of domestic racial minorities in CS subfields. The goal is to develop a knowledge base to inform interventions for overcoming CS subfield segregation and broadening participation in computing research. This work aims to address critical issues around innovation, economic competitiveness, and social justice within the CS field. The award period runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2027, and no sub-awards are planned.
