CRA-W/CDC Alliance Broadens Participation in Computing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since 1994, the Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research (CRA-W) has offered the Distributed Research Experience for Undergraduates (DREU) program to increase gender diversity in the computing research community. DREU gives undergraduate women the experience of conducting summer research with a professor of computer science or computer engineering (CSE). In 2006, CRA-W joined with the Coalition to Diversify Computing (CDC) to form an alliance with the goal of increasing participation of underrepresented minority women and men in CSE doctoral programs. This paper documents the CRA-W/CDC Alliance’s progress toward that goal in the DREU program. We find that deliberate efforts to recruit underrepresented minorities into the DREU program are meeting with success.

BACKGROUND Screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) and precancerous colorectal adenoma (CRA) can detect curable disease. However, participation in colonoscopy and sensitivity of fecal heme for CRA are low. METHODS Microbiota metrics were determined by Illumina sequencing of 16S rRNA genes amplified from DNA extracted from feces self-collected in RNAlater. Among fecal immunochemical test-positiv...

متن کاملDo Cra Agreements Influence Lending Patterns ?
An increasingly common method for lending institutions to demonstrate their commitment to and compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (CRA) and fair lending laws has been to enter into agreements with community groups and other entities to help ensure the flow of credit throughout their service area. Table 1 shows that the volume of loan pledges associated with these agreements, ...
