Institutions must have nonprofit status and graduate 200 or more computing majors annually, as defined by category 11 from the National Center for Education Statistics’ Classification for Instructional Programs (CIP). Applicants must demonstrate commitment to the Center’s mission and Project Leads should be computing faculty with the seniority to manage the grant and oversee the necessary changes. Proposals should include meaningful curricular and/or pedagogical changes based on evidence-based best practices.
Please do not propose scholarships, travel stipends for undergraduates, or initiatives focused on recruiting from high school. While these are important aspects of broadening participation, they do not immediately translate to significantly more women with degrees in computing. The interventions we support center on large-scale, sustainable changes.
We seek partners who demonstrate a combination of three factors:
The Center accepts grant applications twice per year and anticipates funding as many as 30 different colleges and universities over the next four years. Our next round opens on September 4, 2020. The deadline to apply is October 23, 2020.

Implementation Grants support the implementation of evidence-based approaches that quickly and significantly increase the representation of women in undergraduate computing.
If awarded funding, you will receive support from Technical Advisors, nationally recognized computing faculty who have participated in designing and implementing best practices to broaden undergraduate student representation. We are committed to providing the financial and technical expertise needed to make lasting cultural and pedagogical change at your institution.
Schools must graduate 200 or more computing majors annually, as defined by category 11 from the National Center for Education Statistics’ Classification for Instructional Programs (CIP).
Project Leads should be computing faculty with the seniority to manage the grant and oversee the necessary changes.
For the purposes of this grant, please refer to the IPEDS CIP code 11 classification.
Using CIP code 11 allows us to utilize consistent data that we can study and measure success. Please note that Computer Engineering is not included, and Data Science may not count as computing by this definition.

$500,000 – $2 million over two to four years.
Please note there is a 15% limit on indirect cost recovery on total direct costs.
Proposals should include meaningful curricular and/or pedagogical changes based on evidence-based practices. Examples include but are not limited to:
Every partner school must also participate in our Data Collection Initiative. Schools collect and submit historic and current persistence, retention, and graduation data to our Data Collection Portal. Specifically:
Each term, you receive reports on persistence, retention, and graduation, for both quasi-cohorts and overall computing population. These reports provide a deeper understanding of where you may be losing or gaining students and shine a light on where your school may need to dig deeper into the data.
| Stage One | Stage Two | Stage Three |
| Application | Site Visit | Action Plan |
| Applicants submit three years of institutional data and a letter of intent.
Letters of intent are evaluated based on the level of buy-in and commitment from leadership and faculty and the potential impact of the interventions proposed. |
If the application is advanced to the next round, we conduct a site visit.
This is a one-day, virtual meeting during which Center staff and Technical Advisors meet with the members of the project team, students, staff, and university leaders. |
If selected, the Center’s team collaborates with the Project Lead to create a detailed action plan.
If awarded funding, there is a 15% limit on indirect cost recovery on total direct costs. In addition, recipients will need to provide data several times a year. |
We are not currently accepting applications. A new round of funding will open in early 2023.
