The participation of underrepresented students in mathematical sciences doctoral programs is an issue of national concern. MORE: Mathematics - Opportunities in Research and Education is a new, annual workshop designed to increase the number of these students who pursue graduate degrees in mathematics; develop a peer network for support in continuing education and career goals; and equip participants with strategies to increase retention among those who enter graduate programs in the mathematical sciences. This is achieved through a unique active workshop format engaging students in highly relevant mathematics tied to applications that address societal needs. MORE specifically targets and prioritizes the participation of female, minoritized, and/or first-generation college students, involves them mathematics via experiential learning in a collaborative setting, establishes a peer/mentor community, and provides them with insight on and support for mathematical graduate experiences. The MORE workshop gives participants strength in numbers in ways that mobile their collective promise in mathematics, thus leading to a better qualified and more diverse workforce.The MORE: Mathematics - Opportunities in Research and Education conference serves as an early professional development and community-building opportunity for undergraduate mathematical sciences majors. The target audience for the workshop includes women, first-generation college students, and students traditionally under-represented in the mathematical sciences. In addition to helping students build a peer mentoring network, the workshop will introduce students to current research questions introduced by two topical plenary speakers. These presentations will be followed by working group sessions, where students advance the research question through guided discussion and exploration led by graduate students. Topics are selected for their timeliness and accessibility. Panels and other activities are arranged to demystify the graduate school experience. Graduate students assisting in cooperative breakout sessions will receive mentor training, providing them with translational skills. MORE also provides materials to a larger audience through its Get MORE page, which highlights upcoming opportunities of interest, and the SEGS: Success and Enrichment in Graduate School page, which focuses on topics that are tied to documented barriers to success for the target group of participants.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

数学科学博士课程中代表性不足的学生的参与是一个国家关注的问题。更多：数学-研究和教育的机会是一个新的年度研讨会，旨在增加攻读数学研究生学位的学生人数；发展同侪网络，以支持继续教育和职业目标；并为参与者提供策略，以提高那些进入数学科学研究生课程的人的保留率。这是通过一种独特的积极的研讨会形式来实现的，让学生参与与解决社会需求的应用相关的高度相关的数学。更具体地针对并优先考虑女性，少数族裔和/或第一代大学生的参与，通过合作环境中的体验式学习让他们参与数学，建立同伴/导师社区，并为他们提供对数学研究生经验的见解和支持。MORE讲习班以调动他们在数学方面的集体承诺的方式为参与者提供人数优势，从而形成更合格、更多样化的劳动力队伍。“更多：数学-研究和教育中的机会”会议为本科数学科学专业的学生提供了早期专业发展和社区建设的机会。研讨会的目标受众包括女性、第一代大学生和传统上在数学科学领域代表性不足的学生。除了帮助学生建立同伴指导网络外，研讨会还将向学生介绍两位专题全体演讲者介绍的当前研究问题。这些报告之后将是工作组会议，学生通过研究生领导的指导讨论和探索来推进研究问题。主题是根据其时效性和可访问性来选择的。研讨会和其他活动被安排来揭开研究生院经历的神秘面纱。协助合作分组会议的研究生将接受导师培训，为他们提供翻译技能。MORE还通过其“获取更多”页面向更多的受众提供材料，该页面突出了即将到来的兴趣机会，以及SEGS：研究生院的成功和充实页面，该页面侧重于与目标参与者群体成功的记录障碍相关的主题。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
