This award will provide funding for some specific activities of the Hunter College and African School of Economics Program to Expand Representation in Economics (HASPERE) is to increase the pool of economists from underrepresented backgrounds in academia and prestigious jobs in the private sector. To improve participation rates, economics programs need to create a critical mass of minority students, expand mentorship and financial support, and provide students exposure and access to experiences and networks that provide them with the motive and opportunities to pursue further studies and job opportunities in economics. NSF funding will provide resources for student support and for workshops that will help participating students enhance their skills in key methods used in economics research.To ensure that all incoming students have the mathematics and coding skills that are necessary for success throughout the program, HASPERE will include a two-week quantitatively-oriented summer camp to prepare incoming students for the program. During each semester of study, students in the HASPERE program will participate in workshops to enhance their technical skills in core areas of economics beyond the levels of the masters program. Enrolled students will not only benefit from supportive peers within their cohorts, but will also have personal and group mentors. In addition, in the second year of the program, students will be provided research experience opportunities with faculty at Hunter, ASE and a number of nearby institutions where faculty have pledged to support this program.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.

该奖项将为猎人学院和非洲经济学院计划的某些特定活动提供资金，以扩大经济学代表（Haspere）是为了使经济学家的学术界和私营部门享有声望的工作的代表性不足。为了提高参与率，经济学计划需要创建大量少数族裔学生，扩大指导和财政支持，并为学生提供曝光，并获得经验和网络的机会，从而为他们提供进一步的研究和经济学机会的动机和机会。 NSF资金将为学生提供支持和研讨会提供资源，这些研讨会将有助于参与学生在经济学研究中使用的关键方法中提高他们的技能。确保所有新来的学生都拥有整个计划中成功所必需的数学和编码技能，Haspere将包括一个为期两周的定量定量的，面向计划的学生，以准备好临时学生。在学习的每个学期中，Haspere计划的学生将参加研讨会，以提高他们在硕士课程水平以外经济领域的技术技能。入学的学生不仅将受益于他们的同伙中的支持者，而且还将有个人和团体导师。此外，在该计划的第二年中，将为学生提供与Hunter，ASE的教职员工以及在附近的许多机构一起提供的研究经验机会，这些机构已承诺支持该计划。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的智力和更广泛影响的评估来通过评估来支持的，这是值得的。
