Description
The SIAM-Simons Undergraduate Summer Research Program, a partnership between the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) and the Simons Foundation, provides underrepresented U.S. undergraduates with immersive, eight-week research experiences at five sites nationwide. Each site hosts a faculty mentor and two students, focusing on collaborative projects in applied mathematics, computational science, and data science. The program emphasizes scientific research, professional development, and community-building, aiming to broaden participation and foster a sense of belonging in mathematical sciences. Students receive stipends, travel, lodging, and meals, and present their work at the SIAM Annual Meeting and the Flatiron Institute.
