Document Actions
Through the CISE Pathways to Revitalized Undergraduate Computing Education (CPATH) program, NSF's Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) is challenging its partners - colleges, universities, and other stakeholders committed to advancing the field of computing and its impact - to transform undergraduate computing education on a national scale, to meet the challenges and opportunities of a world where computing is essential to U.S. leadership.
The CPATH vision is of a U.S. workforce with the computing competencies and skills crucial to the United States' health, security, and prosperity in the 21st century. This workforce includes a cadre of professionals with the computing depth and breadth needed for sustained leadership in a wide range of application domains and career fields, and a broader professional workforce with deep knowledge and understanding of critical computing concepts, computational thinking methodologies and techniques.
To achieve this vision, CISE is calling for colleges and universities to work together and with other stakeholders to formulate and implement plans to revitalize undergraduate computing education in the United States. The full engagement of faculty and other individuals in CISE disciplines will be critical to success. Successful CPATH projects will be systemic in nature and will demonstrate significant potential to contribute to the transformation and revitalization of undergraduate computing education on a national scale.
CPATH will support three types of projects in two major track categories, Community Building and Institutional Transformation. In the Community Building Track, the Community Building (CB) Grants are available. In the Institutional Transformation Track, the Conceptual Development and Planning (CDP) Grants and the Transformative Implementation (TI) Grant are available.
