Expanding the Pipeline: The Context, Importance, and Experience of Writing Departmental BPC Plans

By: Dorian Arnold, Manuel Pérez Quiñones, Michelle Rogers, and Burçin TamerIn: May 2022, Vol. 34/No.5 /

Efforts to increase participation from minoritized communities has been going on in earnest for over a decade. Unfortunately, we have yet to expand the group of faculty and staff engaged in these activities and have only made a marginal difference in who is studying computing. This article discusses BPC Plans as an attempt to supplement and scale-up the computing community’s efforts to address the issue of lack of diversity in computing.

Serve as a Rotator at the National Science Foundation to Influence Computer and Information Science Research and Funding

By: Jim Kurose, Assistant Director of NSF for CISE and Erwin Gianchandani, Deputy Assistant Director of NSF for CISEIn: November 2018, Vol. 30/No.10 /

It is an exciting, impactful, and important time to be in computer science, not only as a researcher or educator, but also as an expert serving the community – and we want to invite you to consider opportunities for service at the National Science Foundation (NSF).

NSF’s Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) provides more than 80 percent of the federal funding for academic computer science research in our country. CISE also supports computing education at all levels (from K-12 through graduate education), as well as advanced research cyberinfrastructure for all areas of science and engineering.

Should NSF CISE Implement a No-Deadlines Approach?

In: May 2018, Vol. 30/No.5 /

Our friends at the National Science Foundation (NSF) have asked for research community input on a proposed policy change to eliminate/reduce deadlines for core programs in the CISE Directorate. Given the increased pressures on securing federal funding and, in some cases, reduced capacity for grant management at computing research institutions, do you think the Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE) Directorate should follow the lead of the BIO and GEO directorates and consider eliminating or reducing deadlines for proposal submissions? What positive or negative impact could such a shift have on our community?

Please fill out this informal, non-scientific survey and let us know. We’ll collect responses through May 15th and then share the collective feedback with NSF.
