Fall 2025 Request for Proposals

cs.ed:remove(barriers)

The CIC @ Northeastern works with computing departments and colleges to improve access to their computing programs. We work with schools to diagnose institutional barriers that prevent students from discovering, majoring, and graduating in computing and identify the specific systemic changes they can make based on their institutional context. You can review the interventions we believe have the most impact on inclusive computing environments, both at the undergraduate and graduate level.

We invite you to express interest in new (or expanded) partnership between your department/college and the CIC.

For the first time the CIC will consider funding interventions specifically related to Artificial Intelligence degrees/programs. AI related interventions will be considered in addition to traditional CIC interventions, but not stand alone (i.e., a school does not need to indicate any interest in AI interventions, but they should not consider only AI interventions).

Please see below for the full details of this RFP, including a link to the Interest Form. You can download this file by clicking here.
