The three-year Program Enhancing the Mathematical Sciences Workforce in 21st Century Mentoring Through Critical Transition Points (MCTP) at Arizona State University (ASU) will establish a learning through research community in the mathematical sciences that relies on mentorship, academic support and summer research opportunities for at least 25 undergraduate students each year. The Mathematical and Theoretical Biology Institute (MTBI)- devoted to the training of undergraduate and graduate students in the application of mathematics will: (1) recruit and select summer REU students; (2) guarantee sequential research summer opportunities for undergraduates; (3) keep track of their academic status after leaving the program for three years; and (4) prepare the students for graduate school and/or future employment. The program is part of a systemic effort that will insure the successful transition of selected students from community college and colleges will enroll in a graduate graduate program in the mathematical sciences. The MTBI long-term overarching goal is to build a large community of researchers from which additional Ph.D.'s in the mathematical sciences primarily from underrepresented groups will emerge. It is anticipated that this project, like our previous REU (MTBI) projects, will succeed in increasing the enrollment and the graduation of students from groups that have traditionally been underrepresented in the mathematical sciences or in fields that demand strong mathematical training. For example, MTBI has served 220 undergraduate students over nine years-with many participating in two or more sequential summer research experiences selecting between 23 and 36 undergraduate participants each summer. The success of MTBI's programs is evident from the number of its alumni who continue on to graduate school. Specifically, the total percentage of underrepresented minority alumni of MTBI in graduate school is 62.5% (87 out of 139); the percentage pursuing Ph.D.'s is 34.5% (48 out of 139); the percentage of women in graduate school is 64% (64 out of 100); the percentage of women pursuing Ph.D.'s is 29% (29 out of 100). Participation in MTBI provided the research experience, mentorship and support needed to successfully continue their studies in mathematics. The proposed program will establish a model for education through research in a collaborative setting that focuses on actions at critical transition points from college to the Ph.D. level. The goal is that this model will instigate systemic and large-scale educational and mentorship changes at ASU and other emergent urban universities.

为期三年的计划加强数学科学劳动力在21世纪世纪指导通过关键的过渡点（MCTP）在亚利桑那州州立大学（ASU）将建立一个学习通过研究社区在数学科学，依靠导师，学术支持和夏季研究机会，每年至少25名本科生。数学和理论生物学研究所（MTBI）-致力于培养本科生和研究生的数学应用将：（1）招募和选择夏季REU学生;（2）保证本科生连续的夏季研究机会;（3）在离开该计划三年后跟踪他们的学术状态;（4）确保他们的学术水平。以及（4）为学生进入研究生院和/或未来就业做好准备。该计划是一个系统性的努力，将确保选定的学生从社区学院和学院的成功过渡将在数学科学研究生课程招收的一部分。MTBI的长期总体目标是建立一个大型的研究人员社区，从中增加博士学位。在数学科学中，主要来自代表性不足的群体的人将出现。预计这个项目，像我们以前的REU（MTBI）项目，将成功地增加招生和学生从传统上在数学科学或需要强大的数学训练的领域代表性不足的群体毕业。例如，MTBI在九年多的时间里为220名本科生提供了服务，其中许多人参加了两个或两个以上连续的夏季研究经验，每个夏季选择23至36名本科生参与者。MTBI课程的成功从其继续攻读研究生的校友人数中可以看出。具体来说，在研究生院中，MTBI的少数民族校友的代表性不足的总百分比为62.5%（139人中的87人）;攻读博士学位的百分比。研究生院中的女性比例为64%（100人中有64人）;攻读博士学位的女性比例为34.5%（139人中有48人）。的是29%（100人中有29人）。参加MTBI提供了成功继续数学学习所需的研究经验，指导和支持。拟议的计划将建立一个教育模式，通过研究在一个合作的环境，重点是在关键的过渡点，从大学到博士的行动。水平 我们的目标是，这种模式将在亚利桑那州立大学和其他新兴的城市大学煽动系统和大规模的教育和指导变化。
