这项建议旨在提高研究生在头两年的保留率，增加进入研究生院的学生人数。 我们通过将学生纳入研究和数学社区，并为研究生提供支持计划来做到这一点。主要组成部分是一套相互关联的暑期课程，涉及学生的研究经验和短期课程。 这些都是为了吸引他们，并鼓励他们继续在数学。该提案的几个部分直接针对代表性不足的学生。主要方案包括以下内容。(1)早期研究生研究（REG），旨在维持吸引学生攻读博士学位的合作原创研究的热情。通过在研究生工作的最初几年为他们提供研究经验来提供课程。(2)代表性不足的本科生（REU+）的研究和丰富经验，旨在为代表性不足的学生提供支持性的REU经验，他们通常不会考虑REU计划。一个重要的特点是包括代表性不足的学生的既定导师与该计划和我们一起工作。(3)早期毕业生增强研究计划（REG+），一个为期一年的计划，为谁已经从大学毕业，并没有完全准备在数学研究生学习的学生。该计划针对代表性不足的群体。该计划包括夏季研究经验、一年的补习课程工作和重要的指导。 四个重要的群体包括：代表性不足的本科生，考虑返回数学，准备不足的研究生和早期研究生的学士学位后的学生。特别是，该补助金的特点是NCSU教师与6所历史上黑人学院和大学的数学系之间的合作努力。我们的目标是增加获得数学研究生学位的代表性不足的学生人数。

This proposal aims to improve the retention of graduate students in the first two years and increase the number of students going to graduate school. We do this by incorporating students in research and the mathematical community earlier and providing support programs for pre-graduate students. The main component is a set of interconnected summer programs involving research experiences and short courses for students. These are designed to engage them and encourage them to continue in mathematics. Several parts of this proposal are directly aimed at underrepresented students. The major programs include the following. (1) Research for Early Graduate Students (REG), designed to sustain the enthusiasm for collaborative original research that attracts students to Ph.D. programs by providing them with research experiences during the early years of graduate work. (2) Research and enrichment experiences for under-represented undergraduate students (REU+), designed to provide a supportive REU experience for underrepresented students who may not usually consider an REU program. An important feature is the inclusion of established mentors of underrepresented students to work with the program and us. (3) Enhanced Research Program for Early Graduates (REG+), a one-year program for students who have graduated from college and are not quite prepared for graduate studies in mathematics. This program targets underrepresented groups. The program includes a summer research experience, a year of remedial course work and significant mentoring. Four important groups are included: underrepresented undergraduate students, post-baccalaureate students considering returning to mathematics, under-prepared graduate students, and early graduate students. In particular, this grant features a collaborative effort between faculty at NCSU, and the Mathematics Departments of 6 Historically Black Colleges and Universities. We aim to increase the number of underrepresented students who get graduate degrees in Mathematics.
