ON-LINE DATABASE ON MINORITY ENGINEERING
AND COMPUTER & INFORMATION SCIENCES DOCTORAL RECIPIENTS AND
GRADUATE STUDENTS (INFLOW)
The Quality
Education for Minorities (QEM) Network received a grant from
the National Science Foundation to develop and maintain an on-line
database of information on minority doctoral engineers and computer
scientists and students pursuing graduate degrees in all fields
of engineering and computer & information sciences. The QEM database (INFLOW)
will provide easy access to a comprehensive source of minority engineering
and computer science professionals in academia, industry, and government
that can be regularly updated by participants via QEM’s website.
INFLOW incorporates doctoral engineering and computer
science professionals from a variety of professional organizations
and a diverse array of employment venues as well as offer links
to (discipline-specific and cross-discipline) scholarly development
opportunities. Existing databases contain limited information on
underrepresented minority engineers, computer scientists, and graduate
students and tend to focus on institutions rather than individuals.
The inclusion of minority engineering graduate students will be
very useful to institutions, organizations, and program officers
seeking access to individuals new to the field with fresh research
interests.
Having a database with this information available on-line and regularly
updated will allow users easy access to information that can help
to broaden the pool of minority professionals from which potential
NSF proposal reviewers, panelists, rotators, and/or advisory
committee members are identified. The database serves to increase
awareness among the registrants of other minority professionals
in their respective fields, which, in turn, can lead to greater
collegiality and collaborative research efforts among these professionals.
Access to the database will be limited to “user” agencies,
individual registrants, STEM-focused partner organizations, and
QEM staff.
If you would like more information on INFLOW, please contact Shirley McBay, Project Director, via email at smmcbay1@qem.org or Laura-Lee Davidson at inflow@qem.org. Either can be reached via telephone at 202/659-1818. You may also view our INFLOW brochure here.
