This REU award provides funding for the Summer Program Advancing Techniques in the Applied Learning of Statistics (SPATIAL-Stats) at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. This program aims to provide a mentoring structure for students that promotes active engagement in the mathematical sciences and encourages intercultural understanding and educational excellence. The program is geared toward raising the level of mathematical and statistical understanding for undergraduate students and engaging them in creative activities, thereby keeping them in the mathematics and statistics pipeline and helping to increase the percentage of minorities and women who obtain advanced degrees in the mathematical sciences. In this way, the program will help provide the foundations for the next generation of mathematical science researchers to conduct state of the art scientific research and to effectively communicate mathematics and statistics research to a wide audience. Talented students from across the country will be trained by prominent researchers on how to conduct scientific research for publication. The program begins with an intensive three-weeks of lectures in the fields of statistics and mathematics. The students will then spend five weeks actively engaged in research while also participating in networking activities to meet leading researchers across the country. By participating in SPATIAL-Stats, students in the program will interact with other students with different racial/ethnic backgrounds exposing them to excellence and diversity in STEM. Students will receive advanced training in the complex fields of mathematics and statistics to ensure their success in college and beyond.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REU奖为华盛顿乔治敦大学的统计应用学习（SPATIAL-Stats）暑期课程提供资金。该计划旨在为学生提供指导结构，促进积极参与数学科学，并鼓励跨文化理解和卓越教育。该计划旨在提高本科生对数学和统计的理解水平，并让他们参与创造性活动，从而使他们保持在数学和统计管道中，并帮助提高获得数学科学高级学位的少数民族和妇女的比例。通过这种方式，该计划将有助于为下一代数学科学研究人员提供基础，以进行最先进的科学研究，并有效地将数学和统计研究传达给广大受众。 来自全国各地的优秀学生将接受杰出研究人员的培训，学习如何进行科学研究以供出版。该计划开始于统计和数学领域为期三周的密集讲座。然后，学生们将花五个星期的时间积极参与研究，同时也参加网络活动，以满足全国各地的领先研究人员。通过参与空间统计，学生在程序将与其他学生与不同种族/民族背景的互动，使他们在干卓越和多样性。学生将接受数学和统计学复杂领域的高级培训，以确保他们在大学及以后取得成功。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
