HRD-9552987 Hawkins, William The Mathematical Association of America, through its Strengthening Underrepresented Minority Mathematics Achievement (SUMMA) Program, will develop a second phase of its national SUMMA Consortium (SUMMAC) of mathematics-based pre-college intervention projects in order to strengthen the known projects directed by mathematicians which reach more than 15,000 minority students each year. This three-year project will increase these 157 projects by at least 75 by 1998. This network of mathematicians (collegiate faculty, school teachers, and others) who conduct projects which focus on minority students will engage in activities which include workshops, conferences, publications, visits to each others' projects, technical assistance, sharing curricula and mentoring. The mechanisms used to develop SUMMAC are intricately connected to the structure of the 30,000-member MAA: regional workshops; minority graduate students from MAA student chapters as counselors; presentations at the Joint Mathematics Meetings. Utilizing the leadership that developed in SUMMAC during the first phase (1992-1995), regional coordinators who SUMMA grantees will lead the workshops in their area of the country and make site visits to new projects after receiving training from the SUMMA staff. The publications that were begun during the first phase will continue: the Project Director's Handbook; an annual Directory of Mathematics-based Intervention Projects; and a quarterly SUMMAC Forum newsletter. Two invitational conferences will be held each year: one is for both experienced and novice directors. The second, supported through cost-sharing, will help novice directors design projects and learn proposal writing techniques. ***

HRD-9552987 Hawkins，William 美国数学协会将通过其加强代表性不足的少数民族数学成就（SUMMA）计划，制定其国家SUMMA联盟（SUMAC）的第二阶段，以数学为基础的大学预科干预项目，以加强由数学家指导的已知项目，每年有15，000多名少数民族学生参加。 这个为期三年的项目将使这157个项目到1998年至少增加75个。 这一数学家网络（大学教师、学校教师和其他人）开展的项目以少数群体学生为重点，他们将参与各种活动，包括讲习班、会议、出版物、参观彼此的项目、技术援助、分享课程和指导。 用于开发SUMMAC的机制与拥有30 000名成员的MAA的结构有着错综复杂的联系：区域讲习班; MAA学生分会的少数民族研究生担任顾问;在联合数学会议上发表演讲。 利用在第一阶段（1992-1995年）期间在SUMMAC发展起来的领导能力，作为SUMMAC赠款接受者的区域协调员将在其所在地区领导讲习班，并在接受SUMMAC工作人员的培训后对新项目进行实地访问。 在第一阶段开始的出版物将继续出版：项目主任手册;每年一次的数学干预项目目录;和SUMMAC论坛通讯季刊。 每年将举办两次邀请会议：一次是为经验丰富的和新的导演。 第二个项目将通过费用分摊提供支助，帮助新主任设计项目和学习编写提案的技巧。 ***
