This award supports the outreach activities of the Merriam Program in Formal Theory. The goal of this program is to create a unique environment for social science scholars that combines training and research opportunities in mathematical modeling. NSF support is provided for the following communication bridging activities of the Merriam Program: The Junior Master Classes and a conference on the empirical evaluation of mathematical models. The Junior Master Class is an opportunity for young modeling scholars from across the U.S. to present their research before a panel of `masters ` or senior mathematical modelers from their research field. The concentrated interaction of these seminars permits the participants to explore new modeling directions and leads to an enhanced understanding of the modeling process. The conference on the empirical evaluation of mathematical models will bring together data-oriented and statistically-trained researchers and mathematical modelers from different modeling traditions to address the issue of what it means to gain confidence in a mathematical model and how this can be accomplished in the context of different types of models.

该奖项支持正式理论中Merriam计划的外展活动。 该计划的目的是为社会科学学者创造一个独特的环境，结合了数学建模中的培训和研究机会。 为Merriam计划的以下交流桥接活动提供了NSF支持：初级大师班和关于数学模型经验评估的会议。 初级大师班是来自美国各地的年轻建模学者的机会，可以在其研究领域的“ Masters”或高级数学建模者小组面前介绍他们的研究。 这些研讨会的集中相互作用允许参与者探索新的建模方向，并导致对建模过程的了解。 关于数学模型的经验评估会议将使来自不同建模传统的以数据为导向和统计训练的研究人员和数学建模者汇集在一起​​，以解决获得对数学模型的信心以及如何在不同类型模型的背景下完成的意义的问题。
