CFP: CREU Program
Deadline: July 1, 2004
| Please refer to http://www.cra.org/craw/creu for details on eligibility, evaluation criteria, proposal format, and submission information. |
The Computing Research Association's Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research (CRA-W), in conjunction with the Coalition to Diversify Computing (CDC), is pleased to announce a program that involves undergraduate students in research. The goal of this initiative is to increase the numbers of women and minorities who continue on to graduate school in computer science and engineering.
The program, called Collaborative Research Experience for Undergraduates (CREU), is designed to provid positive research experiences for teams of undergraduates who will work during the academic year at their home institutions. Formerly administered as the CREW program, the program has been expanded to encourage young computer scientists and engineers from all underrepresented groups to consider graduate school, either directly or indirectly.
Students will work with one or two sponsoring faculty members on a project for which monetary support is typically not available. Students will each receive a stipend of $1,000 for their work. Each project will also receive $500, to be used for special equipment, travel, supporting materials, or as an honorarium for the faculty member(s).
At the end of the project, students will be required to submit a one-page summary of their work. These summaries will be posted on the CRA-W web site. In addition, students are also encouraged to submit papers and to present their work to other appropriate journals and conferences.
Teams consisting of all women or all underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged to apply. In order to support the exchange of shared common experiences, individual teams should be homogeneous with respect to minority status or gender.
