The VIGRE program at the University of Utah builds upon the success of activities initiated in the first round of funding, and launches new activities which will further increase the number of students obtaining leading-edge training and research opportunities in the mathematical sciences. Over the long term, the Utah VIGRE program will produce and solidify structural changes which will strengthen and broaden the base of well-trained mathematical scientists in the United States. The program consists of a multifaceted and carefully coordinated set of activities directed at pre-college, undergraduate, and graduate students, as well as postdoctoral instructors. The program provides early research experiences for undergraduates and graduate students, and ensures effective mentoring for students and postdoctoral instructors at critical stages of their careers. The student research programs draw on the strength and breadth of research expertise in the department, and include in many cases interdisciplinary ties to other sciences, engineering, and industry. A new undergraduate research course is designed to transition more students into research experiences. The Utah VIGRE project emphasizes increasing diversity within the Mathematics Department at all levels, and strives to attract a broad range of students into careers in the mathematical sciences. The theme of vertical integration is present in all aspects of the project, with healthy interaction and exchanges of ideas occurring between participants at all levels, from pre-college to faculty. The program is designed to maximize the long-term effectiveness of VIGRE-funded activities, by striving for self-sufficiency and continuation of the main elements of the project beyond the funding cycle. To maximize the impact of our programs, a substantial effort is made to broadly disseminate information about our activities, including video of VIGRE minicourses, and a variety of web-based resources for others interested in emulating our programs.

犹他大学的 VIGRE 项目建立在第一轮资助活动成功的基础上，并推出新的活动，这将进一步增加获得数学科学前沿培训和研究机会的学生数量。 从长远来看，犹他州 VIGRE 计划将产生并巩固结构性变化，从而加强和扩大美国训练有素的数学科学家的基础。 该项目包括一系列多方面且精心协调的活动，针对大学预科生、本科生、研究生以及博士后导师。 该计划为本科生和研究生提供早期研究经验，并确保在学生和博士后导师职业生涯的关键阶段提供有效的指导。 学生研究项目利用了该系研究专业知识的强度和广度，并且在许多情况下包括与其他科学、工程和工业的跨学科联系。 一门新的本科研究课程旨在让更多学生获得研究经验。 犹他州 VIGRE 项目强调增加各级数学系的多样性，并努力吸引广泛的学生进入数学科学领域。 垂直整合的主题存在于该项目的各个方面，从预科到教师的各个级别的参与者之间都发生着健康的互动和思想交流。 该计划旨在通过努力实现自给自足并在资助周期之外继续项目的主要内容，从而最大限度地提高 VIGRE 资助活动的长期有效性。 为了最大限度地发挥我们计划的影响力，我们付出了巨大努力来广泛传播有关我们活动的信息，包括 VIGRE 迷你课程的视频，以及为有兴趣模仿我们计划的其他人提供的各种基于网络的资源。
