Plan of action: We will work with a collection of affiliated colleges and universities to create a well-supported pathway to bring students from underrepresented groups to careers in the mathematical sciences. These affiliates include ones from which we have recruited students in the past and who share our philosophy of strong and complete academic and professional training. Currently Morehouse College, Bowie State Univ., Florida A&M, North Carolina A&T, Spelman College, Trinity College of DC, and Xavier Univ. are Affiliates. We are actively recruiting new Affiliates. An annual Affiliates Workshop will strengthen ties among our institutions and guide and maintain the effectiveness of this program. Sophomores and juniors will be recruited to participate in a Summer Institute at the University of Maryland. This Institute will provide both upper level undergraduate academic classes and research experiences to reinforce the students' training and maturity for graduate study. A Graduate Fellowship Program will offer competitive fellowships to graduates from the Affiliates. As Fellows in this program, students will be provided complete career training as mentors, educators and scientists. The Summer Institute will extend to the graduate level, offering academic training in preparation for qualifying and candidacy exams and integration with the department's Research Interaction Team (RIT) program. Graduate Assistantships will be offered to students to support the program. These Graduate Assistants will provide classroom support, tutoring, mentoring and advising for the Summer Institute. A supported Peer Mentoring Program will provide peer mentors to students in the mathematical sciences and will provide supported students with training for mentorship. Funding is for: fifteen undergraduate participants in the Summer Institute, three to four 4-year graduate fellowships per year, TA support both preceding and during the Summer Institute, peer mentoring support, and both recruiting and workshop travel support.

行动计划：我们将与一系列附属学院和大学合作，创建一条得到充分支持的途径，将学生从代表性不足的群体带到数学科学领域。这些附属机构包括我们过去曾从其招收学生，并与我们的理念相同的强大和完整的学术和专业培训。目前，莫尔豪斯学院、鲍伊州立大学、佛罗里达农工学院、北卡罗来纳农工大学、斯佩尔曼学院、三一哥伦比亚特区学院和泽维尔大学。都是联营公司。我们正在积极招募新的附属公司。一年一度的会员研讨会将加强我们机构之间的联系，并指导和保持该计划的有效性。大二和大三的学生将被招募参加马里兰大学的暑期学院。学院将提供高水平的本科生学术班和研究经验，以加强学生的培养和成熟的研究生学习。研究生奖学金计划将为附属机构的毕业生提供有竞争力的奖学金。作为该项目的研究员，学生将接受作为导师、教育工作者和科学家的完整职业培训。暑期学院将扩展到研究生阶段，提供学术培训，为资格考试和候选人考试做准备，并与系的研究互动团队(RIT)计划相结合。将向学生提供研究生助学金，以支持该计划。这些研究生助理将为暑期学院提供课堂支持、辅导、指导和建议。支持的同伴指导计划将为数学科学领域的学生提供同伴指导，并将为受支持的学生提供指导培训。资金用于：夏季学院的15名本科生参与者，每年3至4个4年期研究生奖学金，暑期学院之前和期间的助教支持，同伴指导支持，以及招聘和研讨会旅行支持。
