The growth in computing is fueling a renewed growth in computational operations research (OR). As with any discipline heavy on computations, mathematics, and engineering, the field of OR needs to attract the best and the brightest to enhance the nation's competitiveness. Attracting and retaining women, and minorities is all the more important, and this grant is intended to help bring such students from across the country to participate in the largest venue for Operations Research, the INFORMS conference. By showing the breadth of research in the field, it will be easier to retain these graduate students.

计算技术的发展推动了计算运筹学（OR）的新发展。与任何以计算、数学和工程为主的学科一样，OR领域需要吸引最优秀、最聪明的人才，以增强国家的竞争力。吸引和留住女性和少数族裔更为重要，这笔拨款旨在帮助来自全国各地的这些学生参加运筹学最大的场所INFORMS会议。通过展示该领域的研究广度，将更容易留住这些研究生。
