This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides funding to James Madison University (JMU) to support an undergraduate Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program in the mathematical sciences over three consecutive summer terms.
The $418,500 award will host nine undergraduate students each summer for a 10-week research experience, with the aim of developing their interest in pursuing graduate education and careers in the mathematical sciences. The program will support three research groups of three students each, working with faculty mentors on authentic research projects spanning new mathematical or statistical topics, developing research questions and conjectures, and producing original results. Students will also participate in professional development, outreach, and site visits to graduate programs. The research conducted through this award is expected to be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, posters, and presentations at national conferences.
