This grant funds the National Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program (NREUP), administered by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), headquartered in Washington, D.C., and held at various locations throughout the United States. The program is designed to provide undergraduates from underrepresented groups majoring in mathematics or a closely related field with challenging research opportunities and will offer these experiences during the summers of 2014, 2015 and 2016. The length of the experiences can vary from location to location but will be a minimum of six weeks. The program will reach minority students at a critical point in their career, midway through their undergraduate program through an undergraduate faculty member with whom they have a strong connection.NREUP will continue its track record of increasing minority students' interest in obtaining advanced degrees in mathematics. NREUP will invite mathematical sciences faculty to host MAA Student Research Programs on their own campuses. The MAA will select the best from competing proposals. NREUP provides key components to encourage students to pursue graduate studies and careers in mathematics: enriching and rewarding mathematical experiences, mentoring by active researchers, and intellectual networking with peers. It also provides an annual full day program to assist the new REU director with management details of the program and the potential REU director with further refinement of his/her concept and proposal writing skills. It also assists attendees in expanding their knowledge of federal and non-federal funding sources and increasing their knowledge of and skills in student mentoring. Moreover, by supporting faculty at a diverse group of institutions to direct summer research experiences, this project supports not only undergraduate students but also the development of a community of skilled faculty mentors who are expected to provide ever-increasing opportunities for undergraduate research. This project is jointly supported by the Workforce and Infrastructure programs within the Division of Mathematical Sciences.

该补助金资助国家研究经验的本科生计划（NREUP），由美国数学协会（MAA），总部设在华盛顿，华盛顿特区，并在美国各地举行。 该计划旨在为来自数学专业或密切相关领域的代表性不足的群体的本科生提供具有挑战性的研究机会，并将在2014年，2015年和2016年夏季提供这些经验。 体验的长度可能因地点而异，但至少为六周。 该计划将达到少数民族学生在他们的职业生涯的关键点，中途通过他们的本科课程通过本科教师与他们有很强的连接.NREUP将继续增加少数民族学生的兴趣在获得数学高级学位的跟踪记录. NREUP将邀请数学科学教师在自己的校园举办MAA学生研究项目。 MAA将从相互竞争的提案中选出最佳提案。 NREUP提供了关键组成部分，鼓励学生追求研究生学习和数学职业：丰富和奖励数学经验，由活跃的研究人员指导，并与同行的智力网络。 它还提供了一个年度全天计划，以协助新的REU主任与该计划的管理细节和潜在的REU主任与他/她的概念和建议书的写作技巧进一步完善。 它还帮助与会者扩大他们对联邦和非联邦资金来源的了解，并增加他们对学生辅导的知识和技能。 此外，通过支持不同机构的教师指导夏季研究经验，该项目不仅支持本科生，而且还支持一个熟练的教师导师社区的发展，他们有望为本科生研究提供不断增加的机会。 该项目由数学科学部内的劳动力和基础设施项目共同支持。
