This award funds an innovative collaboration between the University of Maryland and Prince George’s Community College. Their partnership will focus on building a research participation pathway for students transferring from community college to a four-year institution. The goal is to attract a wider range of students to consider careers in economics research. UMD already hosts a program designed to involve academically-talented undergraduate economics students in faculty research projects. This program also provides the participating students with mentoring, academic support, and professional development opportunities. The award will extend this program to a community college campus and will also fund additional research experiences for recent graduates who are considering pursuing graduate studies.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.

该奖项为马里兰州大学和乔治王子社区学院之间的创新合作提供资金。他们的合作伙伴关系将侧重于为从社区学院转入四年制大学的学生建立一个研究参与途径。目标是吸引更广泛的学生考虑从事经济学研究。UMD已经举办了一个项目，旨在让有学术天赋的本科经济学学生参与教师的研究项目。该计划还为参与的学生提供指导，学术支持和专业发展机会。该奖项将把该项目扩展到社区大学校园，并将为考虑攻读研究生课程的应届毕业生提供额外的研究经验。该奖项反映了NSF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。
