William F. Aspray · IEEE Technology and Society Magazine · 2003
The Computing Research Association (CRA) is an educational non-profit organization headquartered in Washington, DC. Its mission is to promote research and advanced education in computing. It members include computing research-oriented academic departments and government and industrial laboratories in the United States and Canada. Many of the major computing professional societies are affiliates of CRA and support CRA's activities. CRA supports programs to promote diversity in the computing research community through all four of its mission areas: community building, human resources, information gathering and dissemination, and public policy.
