The Mathematical and Theoretical Biology Institute (MTBI) was founded in 1997 at Cornell University and is currently housed at Arizona State University (ASU). MTBI's main objective is to increase the representation of U.S. underrepresented minority students earning Ph.D.s in the mathematical sciences. MTBI focuses on a pool of participants primarily composed of students from "nonselective" institutions and students who typically do not consider the possibility of graduate school in the mathematical sciences. Over the course of 15 summers, participants have generated 146 technical reports and a large number of refereed publications while having a direct impact on the research programs of ASU's graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, visiting professors, and regular faculty. MTBI has enrolled a total of 328 first-time undergraduate students and 69 returning students in its summer program. Over this timeframe an additional 114 graduate mentors have participated. Sixty-eight participants to date have earned Ph.D.s.

数学和理论生物学研究所（MTBI）成立于1997年，在康奈尔大学，目前设在亚利桑那州州立大学（ASU）。MTBI的主要目标是增加美国代表性不足的少数民族学生获得数学科学博士学位的代表性。MTBI关注的参与者主要由来自“非选择性”机构的学生和通常不考虑数学科学研究生院可能性的学生组成。在15个夏天的过程中，参与者产生了146个技术报告和大量的参考出版物，同时对亚利桑那州立大学的研究生，博士后研究员，客座教授和普通教师的研究计划产生了直接影响。MTBI共招收了328名首次本科生和69名返回学生在其夏季计划。在此期间，又有114名研究生导师参加。迄今为止，已有68名参与者获得了博士学位。
