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.

In spring 2023, the CIC is welcoming applications from partnerships of non-profit community colleges and non-profit four-year bachelor degree granting institutions across which there is an existing pathway for students to earn computing degrees, and where the partners have identified specific opportunities to broaden participation in that pathway.The spirit of the grant is to support community colleges and four-year institutions working together to improve their computing transfer student pipelines, with an emphasis on women.
Here, you will find a document detailing the funding opportunity, application process, key dates, and eligibility requirements. If you are interested in applying, your first step is to fill out a Letter of Interest form and schedule a call with the CIC Portfolio Managers to walk through the letter together. We request that one member from each team (4-year and community college) be present on the call.
Applicants can define the number and mix of partners applying together as they see fit (i.e., it is up to you whether the partnership is one community college and one four-year, two community colleges and one four-year, etc).
Note that the CIC uses the IPEDS CIP code 11 classification to track and measure long-term success in Bachelor’s graduation rates. We recommend that you talk with your university’s registrar before applying to understand your schools’ data given that CIP 11 does not include Computer Engineering and may/may not include Data Science. If you have any questions about CIP code 11, email us at khoury-cic@northeastern.edu.
Please reach out to us at khoury-cic@northeastern.edu if you have any questions and feel free to forward this to anyone you think might be interested.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
Partnerships must meet all of the following criteria:
APPLICATION DATES AND PROCESS
May 2, 2023: Funding round officially opens.
June 15, 2023: LOI form submission deadline.
August 1, 2023: Applications for Transfer Pathways are due. Note that applications submitted before August 1 will be reviewed at time of submission.
August – September 2023: Application review period
September – October 2023: In-person site visits
October 2023: Decision release
The CIC anticipates making up to 3 awards of up to $500,000 per partnership award. We anticipate that grants will take place over a 2-3 year implementation period.
Please note there is a 15% limit on indirect cost recovery on total direct costs.
Funding can be used to cover costs associated with making curricular and co-curricular changes to the computing transfer pathway, including:
Partner schools will participate in the CIC’s Data Collection Initiative. Schools collect and submit historic and current persistence, retention, and graduation data through our Data Collection Portal:
Please note that the CIC includes funding to support data collection as part of each award.
Incremental support for projects is dependent on future fundraising efforts. The CIC works with partner schools to identify changes that can be implemented and then sustainably maintained after the award period. Many schools that we have worked with previously use CIC funding to prove out new approached that can then be incorporated into school budgets.
