The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded $375,016 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the PRIMES EXPERIENCE: BROADENING MATH RESEARCH AND ENRICHMENT OPTIONS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS project. The award will partially support the activities of PRIMES (Program for Research in Mathematics, Engineering and Science) from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025, including three annual PRIMES conferences during that period. Established at MIT in 2010, PRIMES offers talented high school students from across the U.S. the opportunity to work on year-long research projects under the guidance of academic mentors. The program also includes reading programs, online research forums, and a residential summer math camp to broaden math research and enrichment options for high school students. It additionally supports graduate and undergraduate students serving as mentors and helps diversify the mathematical community.
