University of Maryland Graduate Rewards Program

行动计划：我们将与一系列附属学院和大学合作，创造一个得到良好支持的途径，使学生从代表性不足的群体中进入数学科学领域。这些分支机构包括我们过去招收学生的机构，他们分享我们强大而完整的学术和专业培训理念。目前，莫尔豪斯学院、鲍伊州立大学、佛罗里达农工大学、北卡罗来纳农工大学、斯佩尔曼学院、华盛顿特区三一学院和泽维尔大学都是附属学院。我们正在积极招募新的附属公司。一年一度的附属机构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。该学院将提供高水平的本科学术课程和研究经验，以加强学生的训练和成熟的研究生学习。研究生奖学金计划将为附属公司的毕业生提供有竞争力的奖学金。作为该项目的研究员，学生将获得作为导师、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水平，提供学术培训，为资格和候选人考试做准备，并与该部门的研究互动团队（RIT）计划整合。研究生助学金将提供给学生，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。一个支持的同伴指导计划将为数学科学的学生提供同伴导师，并将为支持的学生提供指导培训。资助项目包括：参加暑期学院的15名本科生，每年3 - 4个为期4年的研究生奖学金，暑期学院之前和期间的助教支持，同侪指导支持，以及招聘和研讨会旅行支持。

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.
