Description
The National Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program (NREUP), administered by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) and supported by the National Science Foundation, provides grants to mathematical sciences faculty at accredited U.S. institutions to host immersive summer research programs for undergraduate students. The program’s core mission is to strengthen pathways to STEM degrees and graduate study, especially for students from groups historically underrepresented in mathematics, by fostering high-quality mentorship and hands-on research after the sophomore year. Funded projects are expected to deliver rigorous mathematical research experiences, sustained mentoring, professional development, and opportunities for students to present their research at conferences.
