This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation provides $324,072 to the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley to support an Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site program through March 2025. The program will engage eight students over nine weeks in collaborative research projects involving applied mathematics, mathematical modeling, and computational and data science. Students will gain skills in numerical methods and coding to apply theoretical models to physical and biological phenomena. At least half of participants will come from underrepresented minority and STEM groups to diversify the fields. The award also supports mentorship for early-career faculty. Students will disseminate results at conferences and through published papers and publicly available software coding. The funding advances the goals of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) by strengthening the Nation's scientific enterprise through increased understanding of major problems.
