Alliances for Minority Participation in Mathematics

得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校提议建立一个少数族裔参与数学联盟(AMPM)，旨在消除非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人和美洲原住民在数学和相关学科中代表性不足的问题。作为联盟的一部分，AMPM将建立(1)由25个数学系组成的联盟，每个数学系都致力于实现上述目标，(2)扩大已经有新兴学者计划的50个数学系的能力。新兴学者计划旨在帮助大一新生在数学和科学方面出类拔萃。在颁奖过程中，这些项目将服务于至少1500名少数民族学生。AMPM建立在伯克利十多年的工作基础上，创建了增加数学和物理科学参与度的项目。这些节目被广泛复制，现在以各种形式存在于50多个大专院校校园。AMPM将与主要的数学家专业组织合作，使这些项目和类似项目的运作成为数学系的合法和主流活动。这项提议的目的是确保下一代数学家代表美国生活的全面多样性。

The University of Texas at Austin proposes to establish an Alliance for Minority Participation in Mathematics (AMPM) with the goal of eliminating the underrepresentation of African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans in mathematics and related disciplines. As part of the Alliance, AMPM will establish (1) an alliance of twenty-five mathematics departments each working to achieve the above aim, (2) expand the capacity of fifty mathematics departments that already have Emerging Scholars Programs. The Emerging Scholars programs are designed to help both freshmen excel mathematics and science. These programs will serve at least 1,500 minority students during the course of the award. AMPM builds on more than ten years of work at Berkeley in creating programs that increase participation in mathematical and physical sciences. These programs have been widely copied and now exist in various forms on more than 50 college and university campuses. AMPM will work with the major professional organizations of mathematicians to make the operations of these and similar programs a legitimate and mainstream activity of mathematics departments. It is the aim of this proposal to assure that the next generation of mathematicians represents the full diversity of American life.
