The NSF/CBMS Regional Research Conference series is an ongoing cooperative project which is administered by the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences (CBMS) and which has been continuously supported by NSF since 1969. The goal of the series is to promote research in areas of the mathematical sciences which have recently seen significant new results and which hold promise for continued significant development. Each individual conference features a distinguished lecturer who is both a major researcher in the area of the conference and a good expositor The lecturer delivers ten lectures over a five day period on a topic of important current research in one sharply focused area of the mathematical sciences. The lectures typically cover the recent development of the field and chart the possible new directions and open problems. Thus the format of the conferences is primarily educational, but at the research level. The local organizer of each conference invites other established researchers in the field and interested newcomers, including graduate students and post doctoral fellows, to participate in the conference. The lecturer also promises, in the year following the conference, to prepare a substantial expository monograph based upon his or her lectures. The monograph is then published by one of the following CBMS member societies: the American Mathematical Society, the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, or jointly, the American Statistical Association and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. The monographs reach a much broader audience than the conferences alone can provide. They are often used as background reading for graduate students beginning thesis research or by established researchers seeking to learn a new field. Many of the monographs have become the classic introduction to the field. Through 2005, a total of 302 such conferences have been held and 190 monographs have been published. It is expected that an average of five or six conferences will be held in each of the next three years. Under its agreement with NSF, CBMS promotes, administers, and provides support services for the series. Each year CBMS issues and publicizes the call for proposals. Proposals for individual conferences are made by prospective host institutions directly to NSF. CBMS organizes a review panel to evaluate the proposals received and to make funding recommendations to NSF. Following the conferences, CBMS maintains contact with the lecturers and the publishers, encouraging completion of the monograph based on the conference lectures.

NSF/CBMS区域研究会议系列是一个正在进行的合作项目，由数学科学会议委员会（CBMS）管理，自1969年以来一直得到NSF的支持。该系列的目标是促进数学科学领域的研究，这些领域最近取得了重大的新成果，并有望继续取得重大发展。每个会议都有一位杰出的演讲者，他既是会议领域的主要研究人员，也是一位优秀的讲师。 讲师在五天的时间内就数学科学的一个重点领域的重要当前研究主题进行了十次讲座。讲座通常涵盖该领域的最新发展，并绘制可能的新方向和开放问题。因此，会议的形式主要是教育性的，但在研究一级。每次会议的当地组织者邀请该领域的其他知名研究人员和感兴趣的新人，包括研究生和博士后研究员参加会议。演讲者还承诺，在会议后的一年里，根据他或她的演讲准备一份实质性的专著。该专著然后由以下CBMS成员学会之一出版：美国数学学会，工业与应用数学学会，或联合，美国统计协会和数理统计研究所。这些专题著作所触及的受众比会议本身所能提供的要广泛得多。它们经常被用来作为背景阅读的研究生开始论文研究或建立研究人员寻求学习一个新的领域。许多专著已成为该领域的经典介绍。到2005年，共举行了302次此类会议，出版了190本专著。预计在今后三年中，每年平均将举行五、六次会议。根据与NSF的协议，CBMS促进，管理和提供系列支持服务。 CBMS每年都会发布和公布征求建议书的通知。个别会议的提案由潜在的主办机构直接向NSF提出。CBMS组织了一个审查小组来评估收到的提案，并向NSF提出资金建议。会议之后，CBMS与讲师和出版商保持联系，鼓励完成基于会议讲座的专著。
