The Computer Science and Mathematics for Scientists (CSMS) project is providing scholarships to encourage and enable students who are majoring in mathematical, computer, biological, physical, or geo- science to take computer science or mathematics as their second major.Intellectual Merit: The increasing use of computational mathematics in science provides a demand for scientists trained in computer science or mathematics. The project has an organized structure from recruitment of potential recipients, through the educational process to placement in employment or graduate education. Students are being recruited via advertising outside and within the university. Students are selected based on financial need, potential for successful completion, and distribution of first majors. Project-specific advising, mentoring, and progress monitoring support them. Students interact with an industry liaison group that brings potential employers into direct contact with scholarship recipients.Broader Impacts: There is a developing need in society for computer science and mathematics skills across the sciences. The project addresses that need by going beyond the boundaries of a single discipline, promoting the use of computer science and mathematics in the study and application of science. The project also provides specific plans to increase numbers in underrepresented groups in computer science and mathematics. By providing a broad range scientists with computer science and mathematics skills, misconceptions about these disciplines are being diminished, thus encouraging more students to seek computer science and mathematics education on their own accord.

科学家计算机科学和数学(CSMS)项目提供奖学金，鼓励和使数学、计算机、生物、物理或地球科学专业的学生将计算机科学或数学作为他们的第二专业。智力优势：计算数学在科学中的应用越来越多，对受过计算机科学或数学培训的科学家提出了需求。该项目有一个有组织的结构，从招募潜在的受助者，到教育过程，再到就业或研究生教育。学校内外都在通过广告招收学生。学生是根据经济需要、成功完成学业的潜力和第一专业的分布来选择的。特定于项目的建议、指导和进度监控为他们提供支持。学生与一个行业联络小组互动，使潜在雇主与奖学金获得者直接接触。更广泛的影响：社会对计算机科学和跨科学的数学技能的需求不断发展。该项目超越了单一学科的界限，促进了计算机科学和数学在科学研究和应用中的应用，从而满足了这一需求。该项目还提供了具体计划，以增加在计算机科学和数学领域任职人数不足的群体的人数。通过向广泛的科学家提供计算机科学和数学技能，对这些学科的误解正在减少，从而鼓励更多的学生主动寻求计算机科学和数学教育。
