The University
of
Georgia
VIGRE II
project enthusiastically fosters the training of future mathematical
scientists at the undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral levels through the
integration
of research and teaching. This is the second Vertical Integration of
Research
and Education (VIGRE) grant awarded to the Department of Mathematics,
one of
only a dozen departments nationwide to receive a second VIGRE grant.
This prestigious five-year 3.8 million
dollar grant from the National Science
Foundation
will develop new initiatives to recruit and
train U.S.
mathematical scientists to meet the demands of the 21st
century
scientific workplace. Through it the
department will award 10 graduate fellowships at a level
of $25K per
year. Through the duration of the grant, we will employ four additional
postdoctoral positions (VIGRE postdocs) at $45K per year.
In addition, the department will offer a
variety of
activities, including a 12-month graduate Summer Training Program
(STP), an
Internship and Interdisciplinary Outreach (IIO) program, and
educational
outreach through the Mathematicians Educating Future Teachers (MEFT)
program. In
addition, VIGRE II will build on the achievements of the first VIGRE
grant (2001-2006).
One of them, known as the Vertical Research Groups (VRGs), brings
together
faculty, postdocs, and students in a laboratory-like setting to work on
common
research projects.
