What Does CAPP Stand For?

o Originally...Cohort of Associate Professors Program

o When expanded from research universities to teaching institutions:

CAPP-R: Research UniversityCAPP-E: Education

o Have now added research labs...Cohort of Advanced Professionals

ProgramCAPP-L: Research Labs (industry & gov’t)

2

CAPP Organizationo 2008 is the

– 4th Year of CAPP-R– 2nd Year of CAPP-E– 1st Year of CAPP-L

o All groups have similar needs, but also differenceso Organized as three tracks o Important for groups to interact

o Funded by NSF ADVANCE Grant, IBM, private foundation

o One workshop every two yearso Follow up activities 3

Assessment of CAPPo CRA-W wants to have your feedback and

suggestionso Assessment of funded programs is

required as part of current NSF grant o Assessment data needed for future

proposalso Have you completed the pre-survey?

– Yes: Thank you! (By 11/13, 4pm EST: 40/47)– No: you have 30 minutes

o Please complete the post survey!4

Why are there so many women in Molecular

Biology?“There were great female founders in the field in

the early 20th century who inspired generations of women, creating opportunities for women to thrive and reach National Academy of Sciences status. These were role models, catalysts."

-- Shirley M. Tilghman, President of Princeton

Where is the "female factor” in CS?

It’s here! It’s us!

5

CAPP Goal

o Today women hold 26% of all (non-tenure track) instructor positions but only 11% of the full professorships ! (Taulbee Survey 2007)

o CAPP GOAL: Increase the number of women who are promoted to full professor and/or reach the top of the technical ladder and serve in leadership roles in the CS community.

Where do new PH.D.s go?

o From Taulbee, employment of new PhDs 2005-2007

o % female by sector (number)– Tenure-track in PhD-granting: 20% (131)– Teaching in PhD-granting: 26% (28)– Non-PhD granting CS/CE dept: 25% (58)– Other than a CS/CE dept: 27% (17)– Industry: 15% (288)– Government: 16% (20)

9

What about women in teaching institutions?

o Believed similar, but data less available

10

Research Labs

o What are the stats at research labs?– Anecdotally, about the same.– But, we don’t have hard numbers.

o Unclear how to get them.
