During 8 weeks in the summer, 12 students will work on open research problems, satisfactory solution of which would involve results publishable in standard journals. SUMaR has established a track-record of identifying such problems, which nevertheless are accessible to undergraduates. Problems are offered in areas including number theory, analysis, PDEs, quantum computing, and mathematical modeling. All project mentors have established (and except for postdoctoral fellows, well-established) programs of research related to the proposed undergraduate research projects. The vast majority including the PI and co-PI have extensive experience in mentoring undergraduate research, and those lacking this will be mentored in mentoring by the PI and co-PI. Besides research, the project will involve student participants in a variety of mathematical and professional development activities - including math subject GRE preparation; introduction to computational, typesetting, and presentation software commonly used in mathematics; a talk about how to prepare effective talks for different audiences; a panel on graduate school in mathematics; a panel on NSF graduate scholarships and semester long off-campus programs; and social activities, many joint with other REUs. Each year, half of the participants will be female, half will be either minority, students who started out at a community college, or students belonging to another group identified by the McNair program (first generation in college or economically disadvantaged background). Outreach to veterans of the U.S. Armed Services will be made through the grantee institution's Office of Veterans Affairs. Efforts will be made to select students from small regional public and private colleges without a graduate or Ph.D. program in mathematics.

在夏季的8周内，有12名学生将解决开放研究问题，令人满意的解决方案将涉及可在标准期刊中发布的结果。 Sumar已经建立了识别此类问题的轨道记录，尽管如此，本科生仍然可以解决这些问题。在数字理论，分析，PDE，量子计算和数学建模等领域提供了问题。 所有项目导师都已经建立了与拟议的本科研究项目有关的研究计划（已建立的博士后研究员，公认的）计划。 包括PI和Co-Pi在内的绝大多数人在指导本科研究方面拥有丰富的经验，而缺乏这种研究的人将受到PI和Co-Pi的指导。除研究外，该项目还将让学生参与者参加各种数学和专业发展活动，包括数学主题GRE准备；数学常用的计算，排版和演示软件简介；关于如何为不同受众准备有效的谈判的讨论；数学研究生院的小组； NSF研究生奖学金和学期长期校外计划的小组；和社会活动，许多与其他Reus联合。每年，一半的参与者将是女性，一半是少数派，在社区大学开始的学生，或者是麦克奈尔计划（McNair Program）确定的另一个小组的学生（大学的第一代或经济上处于经济弱势背景）。向美国武装部队的退伍军人宣讲将通过受赠人机构的退伍军人事务办公室进行。 将努力从没有毕业生或博士学位的小型区域公立和私立大学中选择学生。数学课程。
