Academic departments across the United States and Canada volunteer to distribute DBS to students in their degree program, while CERP also directly connects with other students and professionals in the field to complete the survey. DBS is an annual survey that collects data from individuals in computing and technology fields. The Data Buddies Survey (DBS) is the means by which this project collects data. Data collected via this project provide useful insights into student attrition and retention, factors that support the successful matriculation into graduate school and research careers, and means by which the field can broaden participation from individuals who identify with groups considered underrepresented in computing (includes all women, persons with disabilities, and people who are Black, Hispanic, Native American/Indigenous, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander). This project serves as an important resource for the computing community. Knowledge production from this project is demonstrated through our publications, monthly infographics through CRN, and reporting to departments. First started as a survey for intervention programs through a BPC-Alliance award to the CRA-WP (CNS-1246649), this project has grown to collect multi-level and longitudinal data. The Data Buddies Project is a long-standing project of CERP and CRA.
