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 summer 2022, 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.
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).
If you are interested in applying, we encourage you to reach out to us at khoury-cic@northeastern.edu to schedule time to discuss your ideas. Please do not hesitate to email us your questions – we are happy to help.
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.

The CIC is earmarking $3.7M for this RFP and anticipates making up to 7 awards of up to $500,000 per partnership award. Fundraising is ongoing in hopes of expanding the number of partnerships and/or making larger awards. 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.
| Stage One | Stage Two | Stage Three |
| Application | Site Visit | Action Plan |
| The CIC reviews the application and be in touch with any clarifying questions | The CIC selects some applicants to proceed to the next stage, which is an all day site visit. We will work with you to schedule the visit and develop the agenda. | The CIC selects applicants for funding, working in partnership to define the project milestones and budget. |
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.
