REU Site: National Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program in the Mathematical Sciences (NREUP)

这笔赠款支持由美国数学协会(MAA)管理的全国本科生研究经验计划(NREUP)，该计划在全美各地举行。该项目旨在为来自数学专业或密切相关领域的代表性不足群体的本科生提供具有挑战性的研究机会。该奖项为2017、2018和2019年夏季的这些体验提供资金。体验的时间长短因地点而异，但至少为七周。该计划旨在通过与少数族裔学生有密切联系的本科教职人员，在他们职业生涯的关键时刻接触到他们。NREUP将继续其过去的成就，提高少数族裔学生获得数学高级学位的兴趣。NREUP将邀请数学科学教员在他们自己的校园里主持学生研究项目。MAA将从相互竞争的提案中选出最好的。NREUP提供了鼓励学生在数学方面继续研究生学习和职业生涯的关键组成部分：丰富和奖励数学经验，由活跃的研究人员提供指导，以及与同行建立智力网络。此外，通过支持不同机构的教师指导暑期研究经验，该项目不仅支持本科生，还支持发展一个熟练的教师导师社区，他们有望为本科生提供越来越多的研究机会。

This grant supports the National Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program (NREUP), administered by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) 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. This award funds these experiences during the summers of 2017, 2018, and 2019. The length of the experiences can vary from location to location but will be a minimum of seven weeks. The program aims to reach minority students at a critical point in their careers, midway through the undergraduate program, through an undergraduate faculty member with whom they have a strong connection.NREUP will continue its past achievements in increasing minority students' interest in obtaining advanced degrees in mathematics. NREUP will invite mathematical sciences faculty to host 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. 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.
