About the CCC

The Computing Research Association (CRA) is the parent organization of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) and provides both fiscal and policy oversight to ensure that the CCC activity goes forward with maximum value for the computing research community.

The mission of CRA is to strengthen research and advanced education in the computing fields, expand opportunities for women and minorities, and improve public and policymaker understanding of the importance of computing and computing research in our society.

This mission nicely encompasses the mission of CCC - to foster exciting new research visions in the computing community which attract support.

CRA has created the CCC in cooperation with NSF through a 3-year cooperative agreement.
