5 Enriched Doctoral Training in the Mathematical Sciences-Logic Model
INPUTS PhD granting departments PhD students EDT grant money External partners (BIG) Other units in university Faculty OUTPUTS New training modules Internships Summer schools New Partnerships SHORT TERM OUTCOMES Doctoral students learn to recognize mathematical challenges coming from other disciplines and non-academic areas PhD graduates have the skills to apply advanced math and stat techniques to solve these problems LONG TERM OUTCOMES PhD graduates are well prepared for jobs in BIG PhD graduates are successful at obtaining jobs in BIG PhD graduates who go on to academic careers can serve as bridges PhD graduates who go on to academic careers can advise their students on large range of options Mathematical sciences departments have enhanced ties to other departments and to BIG IMPACT Advanced mathematical techniques exploited more widely to solve problems in many fields and sectors Advances in mathematical sciences, inspired by other fields, are brought about by trainees who have thorough understanding of both mathematics and domain space

6 Research Training Group
Current DMS Workforce Program Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (MSPRF) Research Training Group (RTG 2004-) Postdoc Graduate Undergrad Enriched Doctoral Training (EDT) Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU Sites) Research Areas

7 The Goals of the EDT program
Enhance U.S. doctoral training in the mathematical sciences to move beyond the paradigm of training in a single, tightly-focused topical area to include a broad range of graduate research experiences Prepare mathematical sciences doctoral students for a wide range of career paths

8 The first competition in 2015 resulted in two awards
NSF award # to UT Dallas. Students spend two semesters in their second year working in teams on an interdisciplinary research project posed by an external partner, followed by summer internship. NSF award # to Princeton University. Students will work collaboratively with partners at several European policy centers on mathematical methods to solve problems related to water.

9 The 2nd competition in 2016 resulted in 4 awards.
NSF award # to SUNY at Buffalo year long supplementary training, summer internship, preceded by appropriate training NSF award # to U Minnesota Provides training over 6 weeks in a boot camp for domestic students across US. Soft skills, coding and industrial project.

10 The third and fourth are collaborative: FRAMEWORK.
NSF awards # / to University of Wyoming & Colorado School of Mines. Students participate in video curriculum, sharing resources across campuses. One or two summers off site internships. Increase pool of minority students by target to CC students of mathematics options. Soft skills training on campus.

11 On the Horizon Mathematical Sciences Graduate Internships
-through the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) The internships are aimed at students who are interested in understanding the application of advanced mathematical and statistical techniques to "real world" problems, regardless of whether they plan to pursue an academic or nonacademic career
