Abstract: EMSW21-MCTP Mathematical & Theoretical Biology Institute Undergraduate Research Program The Mathematical and Theoretical Biology Institute (MTBI) for undergraduate research was established in 1996. The objectives of the Mathematical & Theoretical Biology Institute (MTBI) Undergraduate Research Program are to encourage and facilitate the access to and the successful completion of graduate studies by mostly under-represented minority students in mathematics and science. The MTBI Summer Program at Arizona State University exposes undergraduates to scientific research by letting them address relevant questions in theoretical biology. The consecutive summer research experiences take place at Arizona State University and lasts 8 weeks. Students receive four weeks of intensive training in mathematical and computational techniques in order to develop and carry out their own research projects during the remainder of the program. The research experience ends with the completion of a formal research paper and public oral and poster presentations of students? findings.Supporting an environment in which high quality undergraduate research is recognized and expected (MTBI technical reports provide the best examples. Since 1996 MTBI students have produced 120 papers some of which have been published in peer reviewed journals (abstracts and last five years of papers available through our website - http://mtbi.asu.edu/Research.html). MTBI students typically present their work at national conferences. MTBI provides its alumni continued academic encouragement and support throughout their graduate studies and afterwards. Since the program?s inception 153 US alumni have pursued advanced degrees, and 110 (87 URM) have or are pursuing PhDs; 79 (68 URM) have received advanced degrees and 25 (21 URM) have received PhD?s. MTBI?s summer research activities have been supported with grants from the National Science Foundation and from grants from the National Security Agency. Substantial additional support comes from Arizona State University and from the Sloan Foundation.

摘要：EMSW 21-MCTP数学理论生物学研究所本科生研究计划 数学和理论生物学研究所（MTBI）成立于1996年。数学理论生物学研究所（MTBI）本科研究计划的目标是鼓励和促进大多数代表性不足的少数民族学生在数学和科学方面获得并成功完成研究生课程。 亚利桑那州立大学的MTBI暑期项目通过让本科生解决理论生物学中的相关问题，使他们接触科学研究。连续的夏季研究经验发生在亚利桑那州州立大学，持续8周。学生接受为期四周的数学和计算技术强化培训，以便在课程的剩余时间内开发和开展自己的研究项目。研究经验结束与正式的研究论文和学生的公开口头和海报演示完成？支持高质量的本科生研究得到认可和期望的环境（MTBI技术报告提供了最好的例子。自1996年以来，MTBI学生已经发表了120篇论文，其中一些已在同行评审期刊上发表（摘要和过去五年的论文可通过我们的网站-http：//mtbi.asu.edu/Research.html）。MTBI学生通常在全国会议上展示他们的工作。MTBI为校友提供持续的学术鼓励和支持，在他们的研究生学习和之后。从节目开始？的成立153美国校友已攻读高级学位，110（87 URM）已经或正在攻读博士学位; 79（68 URM）已获得高级学位，25（21 URM）已获得博士学位？S. MTBI？的夏季研究活动得到了国家科学基金会和国家安全局的赠款。亚利桑那州立大学和斯隆基金会提供了大量额外的支持。
