The University of Texas at Austin proposes to establish an Alliance for Minority Participation in Mathematics (AMPM) with the goal of eliminating the underrepresentation of African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans in mathematics and related disciplines. As part of the Alliance, AMPM will establish (1) an alliance of twenty-five mathematics departments each working to achieve the above aim, (2) expand the capacity of fifty mathematics departments that already have Emerging Scholars Programs. The Emerging Scholars programs are designed to help both freshmen excel mathematics and science. These programs will serve at least 1,500 minority students during the course of the award. AMPM builds on more than ten years of work at Berkeley in creating programs that increase participation in mathematical and physical sciences. These programs have been widely copied and now exist in various forms on more than 50 college and university campuses. AMPM will work with the major professional organizations of mathematicians to make the operations of these and similar programs a legitimate and mainstream activity of mathematics departments. It is the aim of this proposal to assure that the next generation of mathematicians represents the full diversity of American life.

德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校提议建立少数族裔参与数学联盟（AMPM），目标是消除非裔美国人、西班牙裔和美洲原住民在数学及相关学科中代表性不足的问题。 作为联盟的一部分，AMPM 将建立 (1) 由 25 个数学系组成的联盟，每个系都致力于实现上述目标，(2) 扩大已经拥有新兴学者计划的 50 个数学系的能力。 新兴学者计划旨在帮助新生在数学和科学方面取得优异成绩。 这些项目将在获奖期间为至少 1,500 名少数民族学生提供服务。 AMPM 建立在伯克利十多年来创建提高数学和物理科学参与度的项目的基础上。 这些项目已被广泛复制，目前以各种形式存在于 50 多所学院和大学校园。 AMPM将与数学家的主要专业组织合作，使这些项目和类似项目的运作成为数学系的合法和主流活动。 该提案的目的是确保下一代数学家代表美国生活的全部多样性。
