(CUA) has an affiliation with the local high schools in the Washington DC area whose goal is to stimulate interest in engineering among high school students. There are currently 14 participating high schools, many of which include a student population with high minority and female enrollment (two of the schools are all-girls). As part of this initiative, CUA is currently funded by the National Science Foundation on a 4 year project called "The Connections Program". Through this program, the affiliated high schools have access to the computing facilities of the University. This includes Internet access, use of CUA's scientific applications (e.g., math and science related applications such as Matlab and Mathematica), and on-line library catalog access. A crucial part of the project is multi-tiered training. An ethics statement and fair usage policy has been drafted to ensure that the provided resources will be used in the appropriate fashion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
