Increasing The Number of Highly Qualified Mathematical Scientists in the Workforce

本项目为数学科学研究生设立奖学金项目。它在项目的第一年为12名一年级和二年级的博士生提供支持，在剩下的三年里每年为16名学生提供支持。此外，该项目正在加强学生支持服务和调整第一年的经验，以便学生获得更好的基础训练和更好的教学和沟通技巧训练。奖学金和支持机制旨在通过部分释放有风险的学生的教学义务来提高保留率，以便在关键的头两年将更多的精力放在学习上。该项目的智力价值在于增强研究生第一年学习的经验，允许更多的时间和更多的支持来掌握该领域研究所必需的关键数学，并过渡到熟练的复杂数学的教育者和传播者。该项目的更广泛影响是，它减少了人员流失，并为代表性不足和经济状况不佳的学生提供了更多机会，让他们接受数学科学方面的高级培训，从而导致劳动力中训练有素的数学科学家的供应增加。

This project is establishing a scholarship program for graduate students in the mathematical sciences. It is providing support to 12 first- and second-year Ph.D. students during the first year of the project and 16 students per year during the remaining three years. In addition, the project is enhancing student support services and restructuring the first-year experience so that students obtain better foundational training and better training in teaching and communication skills. The scholarships and support mechanisms are designed to increase retention by partially freeing at-risk students from teaching obligations so that can focus more on their studies during the first two critical years.The project's intellectual merit lies in the enhanced experience for graduate students in the first years of their studies, allowing more time and more support to master the crucial mathematics essential for research in the field and to make the transition to skilled educator and communicator of sophisticated mathematics.The broader impact of this project is that it is reducing attrition and providing more opportunity for underrepresented and financially disadvantaged students to pursue advanced training in the mathematical sciences, thereby leading to an increase in the supply of highly trained mathematical scientists in the workforce.
