This project aims to enhance the training and mentoring of postdocs, graduate students, and undergraduates. It will strengthen connections among researchers at different career stages and in different research areas within algebraic and geometric topology and related disciplines. Important outcomes for the project are the development of structured feedback mechanisms for students and postdocs, expansion of professional development opportunities, increasing research collaboration amongst the graduate students, postdocs, and faculty, strengthening connections between the topology group at Michigan State University and those at peer institutions, and broadening access to graduate school for undergraduates. The activities are designed to have a lasting impact on the RTG participants as well as the broader topology research community.The project will incorporate four additional postdoctoral researchers, as well as supporting the research of twelve graduate students. Undergraduates will also be increasingly integrated into the activities of the topology group through the creation of a summer directed reading program and an undergraduate peer mentoring program. Inclusive mentoring and feedback processes for graduate students and postdocs will be introduced, as well as extensive professional development opportunities. Small groups of faculty, postdocs, and students will make extended visits to peer institutions to build stronger ties and broaden the impact of the research training group beyond the boundaries of the university. Other activities include structured vertical collaborations and new courses, seminars, and workshops, benefiting graduate students, postdocs, and faculty.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.

该项目旨在加强对博士后、研究生和本科生的培训和指导。它将加强代数和几何拓扑及相关学科内不同职业阶段和不同研究领域的研究人员之间的联系。该项目的重要成果是为学生和博士后开发结构化反馈机制，扩大专业发展机会，增加研究生、博士后和教师之间的研究合作，加强密歇根州立大学拓扑小组与同行之间的联系机构，并扩大本科生进入研究生院的机会。这些活动旨在对 RTG 参与者以及更广泛的拓扑研究界产生持久影响。该项目将吸收另外四名博士后研究人员，并支持 12 名研究生的研究。通过创建夏季定向阅读计划和本科生同伴指导计划，本科生也将越来越多地融入拓扑小组的活动。将引入针对研究生和博士后的包容性指导和反馈流程，以及广泛的专业发展机会。由教师、博士后和学生组成的小组将扩大对同行机构的访问，以建立更牢固的联系，并将研究培训小组的影响扩大到大学之外。其他活动包括结构化的纵向合作和新课程、研讨会和讲习班，使研究生、博士后和教师受益。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
