Research Training Program
We invite incoming master’s degree students in mathematics to apply to be project leaders in a research exploration course for early undergraduates. Participants will receive a $1500 stipend for summer 2026 and are eligible for additional funding in spring 2027.
Since 2023, the Wake Forest Math Department has hosted the Research Training Program with support from the National Science Foundation. In this program, incoming math master’s degree students receive training to develop and lead introductory research projects for early undergraduates. Don’t miss out on this unique leadership experience which is attractive to both math PhD programs and non-academic employers!
Timeline:
- August 2026: Attend a 2-week workshop prior to the start of class which includes leadership training and faculty-led math sessions. There will also be social activities to help you get to know your fellow incoming students.
- January 2027: Attend a 3-day intensive workshop to refine your project.
- Spring 2027: Enroll in MTH 191/691: Research Exploration in Mathematics.
