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

数学科学研究所本科课程（MSRI-UP）不仅仅是传统的REU课程。MSRI-UP发现有才华的本科生——特别是在数学领域代表性不足的种族和族裔群体中——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，以及追求研究生学位和数学科学事业所需的长期指导和支持。该项目提供：(1)为期六周的暑期研究体验，(2)学术讨论会和专业发展研讨会，(3)在国家会议上发表演讲的机会，(4)向广泛的同行和导师社区介绍；(5)长期随访指导。通过与数学科学研究所的独特合作伙伴关系，MSRI-UP为学生提供了优秀的研究设施，充满活力的科学氛围，在职业生涯的各个阶段与国际公认的数学家不断互动，并在该国顶级数学机构之一居住六周。MSRI-UP为增加美国学生，特别是服务不足社区成员获得数学研究生学位的数量做出了重大贡献。在活动的头十年里，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%来自女性。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。这对于一个针对以前没有研究经验的学生的项目来说是非常重要的，这些学生可能因为缺乏渠道、信息或鼓励而没有认真考虑研究生项目。五位首席主任在创造严谨和支持性的研究环境方面有着丰富的经验，强调合作和沟通，并确保每个学生的积极参与和成功。每年，数学活动由一位不同的研究主任指导，他是一位成熟的研究人员和导师；这确保了MSRI-UP涉及许多不同数学领域的多样性。该计划的结构确保了来自轮换导师的新观点的不断涌入，并为培养数学界未来的领导者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.
