The Alliance for the Production of African American PhD's in the Mathematical Sciences: A Conference at Florida A&M

该项目是在佛罗里达农工大学举行的为期三天的会议/研讨会，旨在制定策略和机制，使来自HBCUs的非裔美国学生进入研究生课程，从而获得数学科学博士学位。该请求是为了支持涉及的hbcu：阿拉巴马a&m，杰克逊州立大学和南卡罗来纳州立大学。这次会议响应了美国国家科学基金会的项目征集NSF 00-109，旨在“通过包括学生和最近的博士获得者、妇女、少数民族……为基金会扩大国家科学人员的努力做出贡献”。会议的目标是：促进参与的hbcu的数学学生向参与的主流院校的转移；为参与计划的学生提供综合的学生发展及辅导机会；并与行业和政府建立联系，为相关学生提供实习和就业机会。

This project is a three-day conference/workshop at Florida A&M University designed to develop strategiesand mechanisms to bring African American students from HBCUs into graduate programs leading to the PhD in the mathematical sciences. The request is to support the HBCUs involved: Alabama A&M, Jackson State University, and South Carolina State University.The conference responds to the NSF's Program Solicitation NSF 00-109 and is designed to "contribute to the Foundations effort to enlarge the science personnel of the nation by including students and recent doctoralrecipients, women, minorities..." The goals of the conference are: To facilitate the transfer of mathematics students from the participating HBCUs to the participating majority institutions; to provide integrated student development and counseling oppportunities for the students participating in the program; and to institute linkages with industry and government which will provide intern and employment opportunities for the students involved.
