This funding renews a highly-successful CISE Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science, headquartered at Rutgers University (DIMACS). The site focuses on research in theoretical computer science, discrete mathematics, and their multidisciplinary applications. It exposes students to a broad range of Computer Science topics, applied in contexts that range from bioinformatics to big data. The site uses mentoring teams to support interdisciplinary research projects. The site has a long-standing collaboration with The DIMATIA Center at Charles University in the Czech Republic, and five students from the Czech Republic will participate in the first 7 weeks of the program each summer.This REU site will allow 10 undergraduate students per year from the United States to experience research in theoretical computer science, discrete mathematics, and their application to multidisciplinary research. These students will be joined by five Czech students each year and will have the opportunity to participate in the full range of scientific activities at DIMACS. The program aims to influence the choices about further education and future careers of the students involved, and to give them the confidence to pursue these choices. The site has a strong record of recruiting students from underrepresented groups and of publication of research results by the participating students.This site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.

这笔资金更新了总部位于罗格斯大学（DIMACS）的离散数学和理论计算机科学中心非常成功的CISE本科生研究经验（REU）网站。 该网站侧重于理论计算机科学，离散数学及其多学科应用的研究。 它使学生接触到广泛的计算机科学主题，应用于从生物信息学到大数据的背景下。 该网站使用指导团队来支持跨学科的研究项目。 该网站与捷克共和国查尔斯大学的DIMATIA中心有着长期的合作关系，每年夏天，来自捷克共和国的5名学生将参加该项目的前7周。该REU网站每年将允许10名来自美国的本科生体验理论计算机科学，离散数学及其在多学科研究中的应用。 这些学生每年将有五名捷克学生加入，并将有机会参加DIMACS的全方位科学活动。 该计划旨在影响有关学生的继续教育和未来职业的选择，并让他们有信心追求这些选择。 该网站在招募代表性不足的群体的学生和发表参与学生的研究成果方面有着良好的记录。该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作共同资助。
