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

该基金支持由美国数学协会（MAA）管理并在美国各地举行的国家本科生研究经验计划（NREUP）。该计划旨在为来自代表性不足的数学专业或密切相关领域的本科生提供具有挑战性的研究机会。该奖项资助了2017年、2018年和2019年夏季的这些经历。体验的时长因地而异，但至少为七周。该项目旨在通过一名与少数民族学生有密切联系的本科教员，帮助处于职业生涯关键阶段的少数民族学生。NREUP将继续其过去的成就，提高少数民族学生获得高等数学学位的兴趣。NREUP将邀请数学科学学院在他们自己的校园里主持学生研究项目。MAA将从竞争方案中选出最佳方案。NREUP提供了鼓励学生追求数学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，由活跃的研究人员指导，以及与同行的智力网络。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，还支持一个由熟练教师导师组成的社区的发展，他们有望为本科生研究提供越来越多的机会。

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.
