These grants were designed for institutions with PhD-granting departments in the mathematical sciences, for the purpose of developing high-quality education programs, at all levels, that are vertically integrated with the research activities of these departments. To date, more than 50 departments at 40 institutions have received VIGRE awards. As requested by NSF, the present volume reviews the goals of the VIGRE program and evaluates how well the program is designed to address those goals. The book considers past and current practices for assessing the VIGRE program; draws tentative conclusions about the program's achievements based on the data collected to date; and evaluates NSF's plans for future data-driven assessments. In addition, critical policy and programmatic changes for the program are identified, with recommendations for how to address these changes."--Publisher's description Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Print version record Subject National Science Foundation (U.S.) -- Research grants National Science Foundation (U.S.) Universities and colleges -- Vertical integration -- Research grants -- United States Mathematics -- Study and teaching -- Research grants -- United States Mathematics -- Research -- Research grants -- United States Mathematics -- Study and teaching -- United States -- Research grants MATHEMATICS -- Study & Teaching.
