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.

在数学科学博士课程的参与人数不足的学生是一个国家关注的问题。更多：数学-在研究和教育的机会是一个新的，每年一度的研讨会，旨在增加这些学生谁追求数学研究生学位的数量;发展一个支持继续教育和职业目标的同行网络;并为参与者提供战略，以增加那些谁进入数学科学研究生课程的保留。这是通过一个独特的积极的研讨会形式，让学生在高度相关的数学联系到解决社会需求的应用程序来实现。更具体地说，目标和优先考虑女性，少数民族，和/或第一代大学生的参与，涉及他们的数学通过体验式学习在协作环境中，建立一个同行/导师社区，并为他们提供洞察力和支持数学研究生的经验。MORE研讨会以移动的方式为参与者提供了数字上的力量，从而实现了他们在数学方面的集体承诺，从而导致了更高质量和更多样化的劳动力。MORE：数学-研究和教育机会会议为本科数学科学专业提供了早期专业发展和社区建设的机会。 讲习班的目标受众包括妇女、第一代大学生和传统上在数学科学中代表性不足的学生。除了帮助学生建立一个同伴指导网络，研讨会将向学生介绍由两个专题全体发言人介绍当前的研究问题。 这些演讲之后将是工作组会议，学生通过指导讨论和研究生领导的探索推进研究问题。选择的主题是根据其及时性和可访问性。小组和其他活动的安排，以揭开神秘的研究生院的经验。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Get MORE页面向更多受众提供材料，该页面突出了即将到来的感兴趣的机会，以及SEGS：成功和丰富的研究生院页面，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的评估来支持。影响审查标准。
