Vertically integrated cross-disciplinary research groups (known as PFUGs, an acronym for "Postdoctoral, Faculty, Undergraduate, and Graduate Research Groups") are now proud, shared emblems of the three departments (Computational and Applied Mathematics, Statistics, and Mathematics) that partnered in the Rice VIGRE I project and will continue that partnership in VIGRE II. PFUGs have become a way of life for the departments? existing majors and graduate students and excellent avenues for engaging and recruiting a broad array of talent. Under VIGRE II the three departments will sustain, expand, and leverage these successes as Rice itself enters a phase of rapid growth. Under VIGRE II every undergraduate major in any of the three departments will experience mathematical research. VIGRE II will extend the reach of PFUGs to departments and institutions at further distance from the traditional mathematical sciences departments. In addition, while the project will maintain many of its ongoing research programs, VIGRE II will also annually pursue a single new theme that not only engages all strata of all three mathematics departments but also draws in and significantly impacts a strategic area of application, such as the life sciences, finance, or information technology. Finally, VIGRE II will exploit "Connexions" to improve radically the existing mechanisms for constructing and disseminating findings. "Connexions" is a Rice-based collection of tools to create modules that can be related to each other in multiple ways and that can be organized so as to produce books or courses or short documents or just browsed online. Students, with help from communication professionals, will learn to keep research logs that, with careful editing and design, could evolve into modules. These PFUGal variations will be folded into a narrative on "The Art of the PFUG" that will serve as a national model for vertical integration.

垂直整合的跨学科研究小组（称为PFUGS，是“博士后，教职员工，本科和研究生研究小组”的首字母缩写）现在是自豪的，三个部门的共享标志（计算和应用的数学和应用，统计数据，统计数据和数学），与赖斯·维吉尔I项目合作，并将继续与Vigre II相合作。 Pfugs已成为部门的一种生活方式？现有的专业和研究生以及参与和招募各种才能的优秀途径。 在Vigre II下，三个部门将在赖斯本身进入快速增长的阶段，维持，扩展和利用这些成功。在Vigre II的领导下，三个部门中的任何一个本科专业都会经历数学研究。 Vigre II将在与传统数学科学部门更远处的部门和机构的范围扩展到覆盖范围。此外，尽管该项目将维护其许多正在进行的研究计划，但Vigre II还将每年追求一个新主题，不仅参与了所有三个数学部门的所有阶层，而且还借鉴并显着影响了一个战略性领域，例如生命科学，财务或信息技术。 最后，Vigre II将利用“连接”来从根本上提高现有的构建和传播发现的机制。 “连接”是一种基于大米的工具集合，可以创建可以通过多种方式相互关联的模块，并且可以组织起来，以制作书籍或课程或简短的文档或仅在线浏览。在沟通专业人员的帮助下，学生将学习保持研究日志，通过仔细编辑和设计，可以演变为模块。这些Pfugal变化将折叠成关于“ Pfug艺术”的叙述，该叙述将作为垂直整合的国家模型。
