document: Shortchanging the future of information technology : the untapped resource Building on ideas from a virtual workshop and additional input from the scientific community , the CISE Directorate at the National Science Foundation established the Information Technology Workforce Program -LRB- ITWF -RRB- in March 2000 to support a broad set of scientific research studies focused on the under-representation of women and minorities in the information technology workforce . In this paper , we explore various approaches that the funded researchers are taking to address the problem of women in information technology . We begin with a brief history of the ITWF , and then focus on some of the research projects in terms of their goals , approaches , and expected outcomes
