This award provides support to the American Economics Association for an REU Site program housed at the University of Texas at Austin. A primary objective of the program is to increase the number of minority students in the economics profession. Ten students will be selected for an eight week training program to strengthen their analytic skills and to demonstrate the relevance and excitement of economics as a profession. Hands-on empirical research experiences and honors level coursework will be central features of the program. Students will be given ten broad topic areas from which to design projects, and appropriate data sets will be made available for each area. Weekly workshops or seminars by outside speakers will familiarize students with policy issues and career options. This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences.

该奖项为美国经济学协会在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的REU网站计划提供支持。 该计划的主要目标是增加经济专业少数民族学生的数量。 十名学生将被选中进行为期八周的培训计划，以加强他们的分析技能，并展示经济学作为一种职业的相关性和兴奋性。 实践经验的实证研究经验和荣誉水平的课程将是该计划的核心特点。 学生将获得10个广泛的主题领域，从中设计项目，并为每个领域提供适当的数据集。 由外部演讲者每周举办的讲习班或研讨会将使学生熟悉政策问题和职业选择。 该奖项有助于基金会通过积极的本科研究经验，继续努力吸引有才华的学生进入科学职业。
