Minority Mathematical Research and Resource Center

少数族裔卓越研究中心（MRCE）项目成立于1987财年，旨在提供大量资源，提升以少数族裔为主的最强大、最具生产力的机构的研究能力。这个计划资助项目为一个计划奠定了基础，该计划将提高该机构的研究质量和与研究相关的培训。具体来说，对该项目的支持将允许建立一个由科学家和工程师、当地领导人和工业代表组成的MRCE咨询委员会，他们将协助该机构评估其在未来五年内进行有价值研究的当前和未来潜力。阿拉巴马州立大学将制定战略，加强其数学科学研究计划。该机构还将在选定的改进领域开展暑期课程和其他活动，让大学和高中教师、少数民族本科生和高中生参与其中。该机构拥有完善数学科学研究和相关教育活动的设施和人员。基金会之所以支持这个项目，是因为拟议的工作将增加少数民族在教育管道中几个层次上对数学的参与。

The Minority Research Centers of Excellence (MRCE) program was established in FY 1987 to provide substantial resources to upgrade the research capabilities of the strongest and most productive predominantly minority institutions. This planning grant project lays the foundation for a plan that will increase the institution's quality of research and research-related training. Specifically, support for this project will permit the establishment of an MRCE advisory committee of scientists and engineers, local leaders, and industrial representatives who will assist the institution in evaluating its current and future potential for performing meritorious research during the next five years. Alabama State University will develop strategies to strengthen its mathematical sciences research program. The institution will also implement summer institutes and other activities to involve college and high school teachers, and minority undergraduate and high school students in selected areas of improvement. This institution has the facilities and personnel to make an impact on improving research and related educational activities in the mathematical sciences. The Foundation has supported this project because the proposed work will increase the participation of minorities in mathematics at several levels in the educational pipeline.
