Enabling more Americans to earn undergraduate and graduate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) is important to improving American innovation capabilities. Participating in research as undergraduates improves retention in STEM majors and encourages students to pursue graduate degrees. Faculty at colleges and universities that focus on undergraduate education are critical to this mission, yet in many cases such faculty receive little support to do research with the students they teach or to continue their own research. To address this national need, with the support of this NSF award, the American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) and the Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM) will conduct a series of four annual Research Experiences for Undergraduate Faculty (REUF) workshops during the summers of 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. Each REUF workshop and ongoing activities will provide a new group of faculty participants from undergraduate institutions that have limited research support with a research experience investigating open questions in the mathematical sciences and equip them to engage in research with undergraduate students at their home institutions. At each REUF workshop five senior mathematicians (leaders) who have experience doing research with undergraduate students will present problems in a variety of areas. Then the 25 undergraduate faculty participants and the leaders will divide into groups and work on the problems together. The workshop will conclude with group presentations of each project. Most of the time will be spent doing research, but there will also be whole group discussions about topics such as best practices in undergraduate research led by the (co)-principal investigators, who will meet daily with the leaders. There are opportunities to continue work on the projects started in the workshop, and some participants will become involved in long-term research collaborations with other faculty at the workshop. The recruitment efforts for REUF will target faculty at undergraduate colleges and universities that serve a large proportion of students who are underrepresented minorities, person with disabilities, or first generation college students, as well as faculty who are themselves underrepresented or have disabilities. The REUF project will lead to more and better undergraduate research experiences for the students of the faculty participants, and greater engagement in mathematical research by the faculty participants, thus expanding and diversifying the mathematical workforce.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.

使更多的美国人能够获得科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的本科和研究生学位，这对于提高美国创新能力很重要。 参加研究，因为本科生的研究可以改善STEM专业的保留率，并鼓励学生攻读研究生学位。 专注于本科教育的学院的教师对这一任务至关重要，但是在许多情况下，这些教师几乎没有得到与他们所教的学生或继续自己的研究的研究。 在这一NSF奖的支持下，为了满足这一国家需求，美国数学研究所（AIM）和数学计算与实验研究所（ICERM）将在2021年2021年，2023年，2023年的新工作中进行一系列四个年度研究经验（REUF）研讨会，并在2022年，2022年的新乐队中提供了一个。研究经验有限的研究经验，研究了数学科学中的开放问题，并使他们能够与本科机构的本科生进行研究。在每个REUF研讨会上，五位高级数学家（领导者）都有与本科生进行研究经验的经验，将在各个领域提出问题。 然后，25名本科教师和领导人将分成小组并共同解决问题。 研讨会将以每个项目的小组演讲结束。大多数时间都将花在进行研究中，但是还将在整个小组讨论有关的主题，例如由（CO） - 首席研究人员领导的本科研究中的最佳实践，他们每天都会与领导人见面。有机会继续在研讨会上开始这些项目，一些参与者将参与与研讨会的其他教师的长期研究合作。 REUF的招聘工作将针对本科学院和大学的教师，这些学院和大学为大部分人数不足的少数群体，残疾人或第一代大学生以及他们自己的代表性不足或残疾而言。 The REUF project will lead to more and better undergraduate research experiences for the students of the faculty participants, and greater engagement in mathematical research by the faculty participants, thus expanding and diversifying the mathematical workforce.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.
