Accelerating Puerto Rican Students into the National Research Effort in Mathematics and Computer Science

该项目每年为13名成绩优异、经济困难的计算机科学或数学本科生和10名从数学硕士和博士课程或计算机、信息科学和工程博士课程中选出的研究生提供奖学金。智力优势：奖学金的目标是本科生（过渡到第三年的学习，以完成学位）和研究生（准备资格考试和开始研究）的高消耗期。该项目扩大了以前CSEMS奖的范围，以强调质量和研究。该计划的总体目标是提高招聘，保留和就业或研究生院的准备。一个正式的队列系统和奖学金获得者的指导由同学和教师提供支持，以帮助学生取得成功。正在向奖学金获得者提供严格的跨学科培训。更广泛的影响：波多黎各学生进入两个高需求学科的科学职业管道有助于满足对这些专业人员及其在国家和地方各部门相关观点多样性的不断扩大的需求。

This project is providing scholarships each year for 13 high-achieving, financially needy computer science or mathematics undergraduate students and 10 graduate students selected from masters and doctoral programs in mathematics or from the doctoral programs in computer, information science, and engineering. Intellectual Merit: The scholarships target a period of high attrition for undergraduate students (transition to the third year of study to completion of degree) and for graduate students (preparation for qualifying exams and beginning of research). This project expands the scope of a previous CSEMS award to emphasize quality and research. The overall goals of the program are to improve recruitment, retention, and preparation for employment or graduate school. A formal system of cohorts and mentoring of scholarship recipients by fellow students and faculty provide support to help students succeed. Rigorous interdisciplinary training is being imparted to scholarship recipients. Broader Impact: The entry of Puerto Rican students into the pipeline for scientific careers for two disciplines in high demand helps to meet the ever-expanding need for these professionals and their associated diversity of viewpoints in various sectors nationally and locally.
