[ACM-W] Fwd: CRAW DMP Application deadline extended to March 1, 2007

[Bettina Bair]

Please consider applying for this, especially if you don't have an
internship already lined up for the summer.  It's excellent experience,
looks great on your resume and puts $6000 in your pocket.

Hello Everyone,

We have extended the application deadline for the CRA-W DMP and CDC DMP
programs to March 1, 2007 - we needed to because we opened applications
quite late this year.

We would appreciate it if you could help us get the word out to students
and faculty mentors. The attached ad notes the extended deadline.

Thanks,
       -Nancy

CRA-W DMP & CDC DMP SUMMER 2007 RESEARCH INTERNSHIPS
Application Deadline **Extended** to March 1, 2007

The CRA-W Distributed Mentor Program (CRA DMP) and the CDC Distributed
Mentor Program (CDC DMP) are highly selective programs that match
promising undergraduates with a faculty mentor for a summer research
experience at the faculty member's home institution.  This experience
is invaluable for students who are considering graduate school, providing
them with a close-up view of what graduate school is really like and
also increasing their competitiveness as an applicant for graduate
admissions and fellowships. With the CDC DMP, an option exists for
the research to take place remotely, using collaborative technologies
such that the student can remain at his or her home institution
with local and remote mentors.

The CRA-W DMP (operating since 1994) seeks to increase the number of
women entering graduate studies in the fields of CS & CE while the
CDC DMP (launched in 2007) seeks to increase the number of men and
women from underrepresented groups entering graduate studies in
the fields of CS & CE.

Funding for the student consists of $6000 for the summer (10 weeks),
plus relocation travel assistance when appropriate.  Additional funds
may be available to support student conference travel, either during
the summer or afterward, and for outreach activities promoting the DMP.

A common On-line Application for the CRA-W DMP and CDC DMP (students
and faculty mentors can apply to one or both programs), more information
about the programs, and webpages authored by previous participants are
available at:
   http://parasol.tamu.edu/dmp/
Application Deadline Extended to March 1, 2007
Awards Announced: mid-March 2007

Note regarding cost sharing by faculty mentors:
The number of students interested in the DMP program has increased
substantially over the last several years and many qualified students
have not been selected due to lack of funding. To enable more students
to participate, faculty are now encouraged to provide funds to support
(partially or fully) students; the DMP will provide travel support
for all students.

Note for faculty mentors regarding the CRA-W DMP Program:
Male faculty are encouraged to apply as mentors - men have been serving
as CRA-W DMP mentors since summer 2004. Based on the number of mentor
applications typically received from female faculty, and the documented
benefits of female role models for female undergraduates, most DMP funds
will be allocated to female mentors. Hence, it is anticipated that male
mentors will provide full funding for their students' stipends (the
program will provide travel support).

Note for faculty mentors regarding the CDC DMP Program:
All interested faculty are encouraged to apply as mentors. However,
based on the documented benefits of role models from similar demographic
groups, it is anticipated that most CDC DMP funds will be used to
support students matched with mentors from underrepresented groups.
Hence, it is anticipated that other mentors will provide full funding
for their students' stipends (the program will provide travel support).

is a joint organization of the ACM, CRA, and IEEE-CS.  Please note that
CDC is in the process of overhauling the website.  The overhaul, with
