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项目在第一轮资助活动取得成功的基础上，推出了新的活动，将进一步增加在数学科学方面获得前沿培训和研究机会的学生数量。从长远来看，犹他州维格雷计划将产生和巩固结构性变化，这将加强和扩大美国训练有素的数学科学家的基础。该计划包括针对大学预科、本科生和研究生以及博士后导师的多方面和精心协调的一系列活动。该计划为本科生和研究生提供早期研究经验，并确保为处于职业生涯关键阶段的学生和博士后导师提供有效的指导。学生研究项目利用系中研究专业的优势和广度，在许多情况下包括与其他科学、工程和工业的跨学科联系。一门新的本科生研究课程旨在让更多的学生进入研究体验。犹他州Vigre项目强调在各级数学系内部增加多样性，并努力吸引广泛的学生进入数学科学的职业生涯。垂直融合的主题体现在项目的所有方面，从大学预科到教职员工，各级参与者之间都进行了健康的互动和思想交流。该方案旨在通过努力实现自给自足，并在供资周期后继续保持项目的主要要素，最大限度地提高Vigre资助活动的长期有效性。为了最大限度地扩大我们计划的影响，我们做出了大量努力，广泛传播有关我们活动的信息，包括Vigre迷你课程的视频，以及为其他有兴趣效仿我们计划的人提供的各种基于网络的资源。
