Mathematics - Opportunities in Research and Education (MORE)

代表不足的学生参加数学科学博士项目是一个国家关注的问题。更多：数学-研究和教育机会是一个新的年度研讨会，旨在增加这些学生攻读数学研究生学位的数量；建立一个在继续教育和职业目标方面提供支持的同行网络；并为参与者提供策略，以提高进入数学科学研究生课程的人的留存率。这是通过一种独特的活跃的研讨会形式实现的，让学生学习与解决社会需求的应用程序高度相关的数学。更具体地说，以女性、小学生和/或第一代大学生的参与为目标和优先顺序，让她们通过协作环境中的体验式学习来参与数学，建立同龄人/导师社区，并为他们提供对数学毕业生经历的洞察和支持。研讨会越多地给予参与者数字上的力量，以调动他们在数学方面的集体承诺，从而带来更合格和更多样化的劳动力。更多：数学-研究和教育机会会议为本科数学科学专业的学生提供了一个早期专业发展和社区建设的机会。研讨会的目标受众包括女性、第一代大学生和传统上在数学科学中代表性不足的学生。除了帮助学生建立同伴指导网络外，工作坊还将向学生介绍由两位专题全体演讲者介绍的当前研究问题。在这些陈述之后，将举行工作组会议，在那里，学生通过研究生引导的讨论和探索来推进研究问题。选择主题是因为它们的及时性和可访问性。为了揭开研究生院经历的神秘面纱，还安排了小组讨论和其他活动。协助合作分组讨论的研究生将接受导师培训，为他们提供翻译技能。MORE还通过其Get More页面和SEGS：成功与丰富研究生院页面向更多受众提供材料，Get More页面突出了即将到来的感兴趣的机会，SEGS：研究生院的成功与丰富，专注于与目标参与者群体的成功障碍相关的主题。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The participation of underrepresented students in mathematical sciences doctoral programs is an issue of national concern. MORE: Mathematics - Opportunities in Research and Education is a new, annual workshop designed to increase the number of these students who pursue graduate degrees in mathematics; develop a peer network for support in continuing education and career goals; and equip participants with strategies to increase retention among those who enter graduate programs in the mathematical sciences. This is achieved through a unique active workshop format engaging students in highly relevant mathematics tied to applications that address societal needs. MORE specifically targets and prioritizes the participation of female, minoritized, and/or first-generation college students, involves them mathematics via experiential learning in a collaborative setting, establishes a peer/mentor community, and provides them with insight on and support for mathematical graduate experiences. The MORE workshop gives participants strength in numbers in ways that mobile their collective promise in mathematics, thus leading to a better qualified and more diverse workforce.The MORE: Mathematics - Opportunities in Research and Education conference serves as an early professional development and community-building opportunity for undergraduate mathematical sciences majors. The target audience for the workshop includes women, first-generation college students, and students traditionally under-represented in the mathematical sciences. In addition to helping students build a peer mentoring network, the workshop will introduce students to current research questions introduced by two topical plenary speakers. These presentations will be followed by working group sessions, where students advance the research question through guided discussion and exploration led by graduate students. Topics are selected for their timeliness and accessibility. Panels and other activities are arranged to demystify the graduate school experience. Graduate students assisting in cooperative breakout sessions will receive mentor training, providing them with translational skills. MORE also provides materials to a larger audience through its Get MORE page, which highlights upcoming opportunities of interest, and the SEGS: Success and Enrichment in Graduate School page, which focuses on topics that are tied to documented barriers to success for the target group of participants.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.
