The MAA, through its project SUMMA (Strengthening Underrepresented Minority Mathematics Achievement) proposes the development of a national consortium of mathematics-based intervention projects aimed at strengthening the existing 50+ projects and increasing the number of projects by at least 10 each year. The Consortium will provide networking opportunities for mathematicians, mathematics teachers, and mathematics educators, building on the structure of the 33,000 member MAA. Activities include workshops to be held at regional section meetings, the training of undergraduate students as counselors, and dissemination of information through presentations at national meetings and a newsletter. In addition, a handbook on how to start and conduct an intervention project and a directory of existing projects are to be produced and widely distributed. By the third year of the project the Consortium is expected to include 90 or more projects and 7,000 newly recruited minority students with their teachers as participants. The long range goal is to increase the number of minority students reached by mathematics-based intervention projects in the year 2000 to more than 15,000.

人与数学协会通过其项目SUMMA(加强人数不足的少数群体数学成就)建议建立一个全国数学干预项目联盟，旨在加强现有的50多个项目，并每年至少增加10个项目。该联盟将在33,000名MAA成员的基础上，为数学家、数学教师和数学教育工作者提供联网机会。活动包括在区域分部会议上举办讲习班，将本科生培训为辅导员，并通过在全国会议上的发言和时事通讯来传播信息。此外，还将编制和广泛分发关于如何启动和实施干预项目的手册和现有项目名录。到该项目的第三年，预计该联盟将包括90个或更多的项目和7000名新招募的少数族裔学生，他们的老师也是参与者。远期目标是在2000年将以数学为基础的干预项目接触到的少数民族学生人数增加到15,000人以上。
