Research Training Groups in the Mathematical Sciences

The Research Training Groups in the Mathematical Sciences (RTG) program aims to build a more scientifically competitive nation by increasing the number of highly qualified U.S. citizens, nationals, and permanent residents pursuing careers in the field of mathematics, across various sectors such as academia, government, and industry. The program actively promotes research training improvement by encouraging the involvement of undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral associates, and faculty members in structured research groups. These groups are required to undertake comprehensive research projects. The key feature of the RTG program lies in its vertically-integrated activities, which feature a wide range of educational levels from undergraduates to postdoctoral associates, reinforcing a holistic approach to research training in mathematical sciences.
