Prospective DRP-Research graduate student (mentors) applicants:
The program is open to current graduate students of all genders in Math. Each team should have 1-2 graduate mentors, who suggest an original research project suitable for undergraduates. At their discretion, the mentor(s) may also ask faculty to join their project, but the graduate mentor(s) are in charge of the project. The mentor(s) decide on the number of mentees they wish to supervise, and meetings between mentors and mentees happen weekly.
Graduate students admitted to the program and who lead their reading projects to completion will be awarded the Women in Mathematics Directed Research Program Mentorship (WiM DRP-Research) award, valued at $1000.
