REU Site: The Mathematical Sciences Research Institute Undergraduate Program (MSRI-UP)

数学科学研究所本科项目(MSRI-UP)不仅仅是传统的REU项目。MSRI-UP发现了有才华的本科生--特别是在数学方面代表性较低的种族和民族群体中--他们表现出巨大的潜力和动力，尽管他们的机会和专业知识往往有限。然后，它为他们提供研究经验、培训和资源，以及在数学科学领域攻读研究生学位和从事职业所需的长期指导和支持。该计划提供：(1)为期六周的紧张暑期研究体验；(2)座谈和职业发展研讨会；(3)在全国会议上发言的机会；(4)介绍广泛的同行和导师社区；以及(5)长期跟踪和指导。通过与数学科学研究所的独特合作关系，MSRI-UP为其学生提供了接触到一流的研究设施、充满活力的科学氛围、在他们职业生涯的各个阶段与国际公认的数学家不断互动，以及在美国顶尖数学机构之一居住六周的机会。MSRI-UP极大地促进了美国学生，特别是服务不足社区的成员获得数学研究生学位的数量。在头10年的活动中，由169名学生开展了57个研究项目，其中85%来自代表性不足的群体，46%是女性。在已经从大学毕业的MSRI-UP校友中，79%的人继续攻读研究生课程，几乎所有人都在数学科学领域。对于一个以没有研究经验的学生为目标的项目来说，这是非常重要的，这些学生可能因为缺乏机会、信息或鼓励而没有认真考虑研究生项目。五位首席主任有丰富的经验，创造了一个严谨和支持性的研究环境，强调合作和交流，并确保每个学生的积极参与和成功。每年，数学活动都由不同的研究主任指导，他是一位公认的研究员和导师；这确保了MSRI-UP涉及许多不同数学领域的多样性。该项目的结构确保了来自一组轮流导师的新观点的不断涌入，并为数学界未来领导者的培训建立了一个自然循环。

The Mathematical Sciences Research Institute Undergraduate Program (MSRI-UP) is more than a traditional REU program. MSRI-UP identifies talented undergraduates - particularly among racial and ethnic groups underrepresented in mathematics - who display great potential and motivation despite often having had limited opportunities and expertise. It then offers them the research experience, the training and resources, and the long-term mentorship and support necessary to pursue a graduate degree and a career in the mathematical sciences. The program provides: (1) an intense six-week summer research experience, (2) colloquia and professional development workshops, (3) the opportunity to present at national conferences, (4) an introduction to a wide community of peers and mentors; and (5) long-term follow-up and mentorship. Through its unique partnership with the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, MSRI-UP offers its students access to excellent research facilities, a dynamic scientific atmosphere, constant interaction with internationally recognized mathematicians at all stages of their careers, and a six-week residence at one of the country's top mathematics institutions.MSRI-UP contributes significantly to increasing the number of graduate degrees in mathematics earned by U.S. students, and by members of underserved communities in particular. In the first 10 years of activity, 57 research projects have been conducted by 169 students, 85% from underrepresented groups and 46% women. Of the MSRI-UP alumni who have already graduated from college, 79% went on to graduate programs, almost all of them in the mathematical sciences. This is tremendously significant for a program that targets students with no previous research experience, who may not have seriously considered graduate programs due to lack of access, information, or encouragement. The five Lead Directors have substantial experience creating a rigorous and supportive research environment that emphasizes collaboration and communication, and ensures the active participation and success of every student. Each year, the mathematical activities are directed by a different Research Director who is an established researcher and mentor; this ensures that MSRI-UP engages the diversity of many different fields of mathematics. The structure of the program ensures a constant influx of new perspectives from a rotating set of mentors, and establishes a natural cycle for the training of future leaders in the mathematics community.
