The Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research (CRA-W) is pleased to announce the BECA (Borg Early Career Award). The award honors the late Anita Borg, who was an early member of CRA-W and an inspiration for her commitment in increasing the participation of women in computing research.

The annual award will be given to a woman in computer science and/or engineering who has made significant research contributions and who has contributed to her profession, especially in the outreach to women. This award recognizes work in areas of academia and industrial/government research labs that has had a positive and significant impact on advancing women in the computing research community and is targeted at women that are relatively early in their careers (at most 8 years post-PhD1).

Please submit 1 to 3 letters in support of the nomination and a C.V. or bio sketch with information such as education, job history, top 10 publications in the last 5 years and relevant outreach activities (not to exceed two pages).
