A Diagnostic Grant allows you to look deeply into persistence and retention data to assess how your undergraduate institution is doing, specifically where you are losing or gaining students. This funding supports collecting and analyzing demographic data to understand how women are faring and to determine where interventions are necessary. We’re committed to working with you to use this data to make cultural and institutional change.Â
To do so, we designed a straightforward, simple process to apply for this funding.Â
Schools must graduate 100 or more computing undergraduates annually, as defined by category 11 from the National Center for Education Statistics’ Classification for Instructional Programs (CIP).Â
For the purposes of this grant, please refer to the IPEDS CIP code 11 classification.
Using CIP code 11 allows us to utilize consistent data that we can study and measure success. Please note that Computer Engineering is not included, and Data Science may not count as computing by this definition.

$60,000 over two years.
Please note there is a 15% limit on indirect cost recovery on total direct costs.
Schools collect and submit historic and current persistence, retention, and graduation data to our Data Collection Portal. Specifically:
Each term, you receive reports on persistence, retention, and graduation, for both quasi-cohorts and overall computing population. These reports provide a deeper understanding of where you may be losing or gaining students and shine a light on where your school may need to dig deeper into the data.
Schools use the funding to support the data collection and submission, such as release time or budget relief.Â
At the end of the two years, you are welcome to continue to collect, submit, and analyze data through the Center. Eligible schools are encouraged to apply for a Best Practice Grant.
Diagnostic Grants do not provide all the answers. They help you ask the right questions and spot where improvements can be made.
The application is quick and simple, including a few questions on why your school would benefit from the grant and how you plan to use it.
Detailed instructions can be found here.
We accept grant applications year-round and anticipate supporting as many as 40 schools over the next three years.
