The program is designed to expose advanced graduate students/postdocs in the mathematical sciences to interdisciplinary work in a lab. Through this opportunity, participants learn about a new interdisciplinary research project and potentially start new research collaborations. Participants and mentors engaged in workshops together to promote best collaborative practices. Then, research pairs worked together in person or virtually for one week to kickstart a new research collaboration. In this fiscal year, the research pairs continued their collaborations, and the program leaders created workshop materials for future installations of the project. 0 0 0 Mary Beth Ruskai Fund.
