At the Computing Research Association’s Committee on Widening Participation (CRA-WP), our mission is to expand access, opportunity, and support for all individuals pursuing careers in computing research. For over three decades, CRA-WP has been dedicated to advancing the success of individuals in computing research, from undergraduate students to faculty and industry researchers.
Through a range of targeted programs, CRA-WP provides vital mentoring and professional development at every stage of the research talent pipeline. Our work plays a crucial role in shaping student paths and strengthening the field, ensuring that pathways into computing research are open and accessible to all.
In a time when public funding is increasingly uncertain, sustaining this essential work relies more on the commitment of private partners. Your sponsorship or individual donation helps us expand programs that prepare the next generation of computing researchers, ensuring the innovations of tomorrow reflect the full potential of our society.
We invite you to join us in supporting this critical mission. Learn more about our programs and their impact in our Program Sponsorship Prospectus.
