COMMUNICATION attend the institute. For example, a Tanzanian mathematician gave a talk at SAMSA 2012 on “connected dominating sets of vertices in graphs” which had some distant connections to US work in this area. The mathematician was then invited to MASI 2013, and this area is now a thriving research area for US students and faculty together with their African counterparts. These activities enable the network to produce an increased number of new PhDs in both the US and Sub-Saharan Africa, more joint research publications, and long-term US-Africa partnerships consisting of researchers from diverse backgrounds. Indeed, the focus is on building long-term US-Africa collaborations rather than a one-off participation, and thus long-term involvement is expected of all participants.The Kovalevskaia Research Grants program was established in 2014 as an initiative of the Kovalevskaia Fund, within the SAMSA Masamu Program. These grants are awarded every two years to two upcoming female mathematicians (one in pure and another in applied mathematics) from the Sub-Saharan Africa region who have demonstrated outstanding research and publications in pure or applied mathematics.
