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.

代表性不足的学生参与数学科学博士学位课程是国家关注的问题。更多：数学 - 研究和教育的机会是一个新的年度研讨会，旨在增加攻读数学研究生学位的这些学生的数量；建立一个同行网络以继续教育和职业目标支持；并为参与者提供了增加在数学科学中进入研究生课程的人的保留率的策略。这是通过独特的主动研讨会格式来实现的，使学生参与与满足社会需求的应用相关的高度相关数学。更具体地说，针对女性，少数和/或第一代大学生的参与，并确定通过经验学习在协作环境中涉及数学，建立同伴/导师社区，并为他们提供了有关数学研究生经验的见解和支持。研讨会越多地为参与者提供了数量的力量，以使他们在数学方面的集体承诺移动，从而导致了更好的合格，更多样化的劳动力。越多：数学 - 研究和教育会议的机会，是早期的专业发展和社区建设的机会，用于培训培训不足的数学科学专业。 研讨会的目标受众包括女性，第一代大学生以及传统上在数学科学中代表不足的学生。除了帮助学生建立同伴指导网络外，研讨会还将向学生介绍两个主题全体演讲者提出的当前研究问题。 这些演讲将在工作组会议之后，学生通过研究生领导的指导性讨论和探索来推进研究问题。选择及时性和可访问性的主题。面板和其他活动旨在揭开研究生院的经验。协助合作突破课程的研究生将接受导师培训，从而为他们提供翻译技能。更多内容还通过其更多的页面为更大的受众提供了材料，这突出了即将到来的机会，而SEGS：在研究生院页面中的成功和丰富，该页面的重点是与目标参与者的成功障碍相关的主题。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估了基金会的范围，反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过基金会的范围进行了评估和宽广的影响。
