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，该项目由数学科学会议委员会（CBMS）管理，自1969年以来一直由NSF不断支持。该系列的目的是促进数学科学领域的研究，这些领域最近看到了重大成果和对继续进行重大发展的重要成果。每个会议都有一位杰出的讲师，既是会议领域的主要研究人员，又是一个好的外汇商，讲师在五天的时间里为当前研究的一个重要研究的主题提供了十篇讲座，该主题是数学科学的一个急切集中的领域。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，会议的格式主要是教育意义的，但在研究层面。每个会议的当地组织者邀请该领域的其他知名研究人员，以及包括研究生和博士后研究员在内的有兴趣的新来者参加会议。该讲师还承诺，在会议之后的一年，将根据他或她的讲座准备大量的说明性专着。然后，该专着由以下CBMS成员协会之一发表：美国数学学会，工业和应用数学学会，或共同的美国统计协会和数学统计研究所。这些专着的观众比单独的会议所能提供的更广泛的受众。它们通常被用作研究生开始论文研究或寻求学习新领域的知名研究人员的背景阅读。许多专着已成为该领域的经典介绍。到2005年，总共举行了302次此类会议，并发表了190篇专着。预计在接下来的三年中，平均将举行五到六个会议。根据与NSF的协议，CBMS促进，管理并为该系列提供支持服务。 每年CBM都会发出提案的呼吁。个人会议的提案是由潜在的主机机构直接向NSF提出的。 CBM组织了一个审核小组，以评估收到的建议并向NSF提出资金建议。在会议之后，CBM与讲师和出版商保持联系，鼓励基于会议讲座完成专着。
