CDC and the Committee of the Status of Women in Computing Research (CRA-W) work in collaboration, with funding from NSF, to provide mentoring and support for underrepresented groups at every level of the research and education pipeline.  The following is a list of active joint projects.

• Collaborative Research Experiences for Undergraduates (CREU)
  CREU is an undergraduate research program that provides research stipends to teams of students from underrepresented groups working on research projects under the guidance of a mentor at their home institutions.
• Distributed Research Experiences for Undergraduates (DREU)
  DREU is a highly selective program that matches promising undergraduate underrepresented groups with a faculty mentor for a summer research experience at the faculty mentor’s home institution.
• Discipline-Specific Mentoring Workshops (DSW)
  The DSW workshops provide career mentoring and networking opportunities in the context of a specific research area, including coverage of technical topics.
• Distinguished Lecture Series (DLS)
  The DLS program provides funding to host prominent academic and industrial researchers that can serve as role models and mentors for minorities. The visitors deliver technical talks and participate in graduate recruiting and mentoring events.
• Mentoring Tracks at Grace Hopper
  In these sessions, successful computer scientists provide mentoring and career guidance to undergraduates, graduate students, faculty and researchers in industry and government labs.
• Mentoring Tracks at Tapia
  In these sessions, successful computer scientists provide mentoring and career guidance to undergraduates, graduate students, faculty and researchers in industry and government labs.
