Please be advised that the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) includes
revised guidelines to implement the mentoring provisions of the America COMPETES Act (ACA)
(Pub. L. No. 110-69, Aug. 9, 2007.) As specified in the ACA, each proposal that requests
funding to support postdoctoral researchers must include a description of the mentoring
activities that will be provided for such individuals. Proposals that do not comply
with this requirement will be returned without review (see the PAPP Guide Part I:
Grant Proposal Guide Chapter II for further information about the implementation of
this new requirement).

SYNOPSIS
The long-range goal of the VIGRE program is to increase the number
of well-prepared U.S. citizens, nationals, and permanent residents
who pursue careers in the mathematical sciences. A successful VIGRE
project must:
1. integrate research with educational activities;
2. enhance interaction among undergraduates, graduate students,
postdoctoral associates, and faculty members;
3. broaden the educational experiences of its students and
postdoctoral associates to prepare them for a wide range of career
opportunities; and
4. motivate more students to pursue an education in the
mathematical sciences. With these goals in mind, each VIGRE
proposal must present a coherent plan for the integration of:
- a graduate traineeship program,
- an undergraduate research experience program, and
- a postdoctoral program.
