This grant is for the purpose of strengthening the nation’s scientific competitiveness by increasing the number of well-prepared U.S. citizens, nationals, and permanent residents pursuing careers in the mathematical sciences. It supports efforts to improve research training through structured research groups pursuing coherent programs. These groups must involve undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral associates, and faculty members in vertically-integrated activities, spanning all educational levels. The Research Training Groups program aims to foster a robust pipeline of talent for academia, government, and industry, ensuring a continuous supply of skilled professionals in the mathematical sciences.
