The Summer Undergraduate Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (SUMSRI) is a program conducted by the Department of Mathematics at Miami University. Each year, SUMSRI prepares about 15 students, recruited from institutions across the nation, for graduate programs in the mathematical sciences by providing them with intensive exposure to research and graduate-level mathematics. At the core of this experience is a seminar in which students conduct research under the guidance of a faculty member; each year, three different seminars are offered and students are placed in seminars according to their interests. The program is supplemented by short courses in Real Analysis, Algebra, Mathematical Writing, and GRE Preparation and a colloquium series featuring (primarily) female and minority mathematical scientists. In the year following their participation in the program, participants are asked to present their research at regional and national meetings, with financial support from SUMSRI. African Americans and Hispanics, who now comprise over 25% of the U.S. population, together received less than 6% of the 500 mathematics PhDs awarded to U.S. citizens in 2009. The percentage of PhDs earned by female U.S. Citizens was slightly over 30% of the total. Because of the shortage of minority and female mathematicians, SUMSRI is especially interested in, but not limited to, underrepresented minorities and women, with the goal of exposing them to research and graduate education in the mathematical sciences. In the past twelve years, SUMSRI has proven its effectiveness in preparing students for the challenges of graduate education. Of the 205 graduates of the program from 1999-2012, 44.9% are from underrepresented minority groups; among these, 67.4% are either in a graduate program or have completed a graduate degree, while 14.1% are still undergraduates. Women comprise 74.1% of program graduates, of whom 69.7% are either in a graduate program or have completed a graduate degree, while 11.2% are still undergraduates. SUMSRI can now count 26 graduates who have received the Ph.D. degree; of these, 21 are women and 8 are from underrepresented ethnic groups. Twelve of these have found employment in mathematical science departments within academia, 2 in non-mathematical science departments, and 10 in industry / government.

夏季本科数学科学研究所（SUMSRI）是由迈阿密大学数学系进行的一个项目。每年，SUMSRI准备约15名学生，从全国各地的机构招募，在数学科学的研究生课程，为他们提供密集的接触研究和研究生水平的数学。在这种经验的核心是一个研讨会，其中学生在教师的指导下进行研究;每年，提供三个不同的研讨会，并根据他们的兴趣将学生放在研讨会。该计划是由短期课程补充真实的分析，代数，数学写作和GRE准备和座谈会系列具有（主要）女性和少数民族数学科学家。在他们参与该计划后的一年里，参与者被要求在区域和国家会议上介绍他们的研究，并得到SUMSRI的财政支持。非裔美国人和西班牙裔美国人现在占美国人口的25%以上，但在2009年授予美国公民的500名数学博士学位中，他们总共获得的比例不到6%。美国女性公民获得博士学位的比例略高于30%。由于少数民族和女性数学家的短缺，SUMSRI特别感兴趣，但不限于，代表性不足的少数民族和妇女，其目标是让他们接触到数学科学的研究和研究生教育。 在过去的12年里，SUMSRI已经证明了它在为学生准备研究生教育的挑战的有效性。在1999-2012年该计划的205名毕业生中，44.9%来自代表性不足的少数民族;其中，67.4%正在攻读研究生课程或已完成研究生学位，而14.1%仍是本科生。妇女占课程毕业生的74.1%，其中69.7%在读研究生课程或已完成研究生学位，11.2%仍在读本科。SUMSRI现在有26名毕业生获得了博士学位。其中21人为妇女，8人来自代表性不足的族裔群体。其中12人在学术界的数学科学部门就业，2人在非数学科学部门就业，10人在工业/政府部门就业。
