This award supports a Planning Visit to Abuja, Nigeria that will enable a team of four U.S. researchers and a graduate student to develop stronger collaborations in mathematics and computer science. The areas of planned collaboration include Security Issues in Data Mining (led by PI Arun Sood, George Mason University and A. Osofian, University of Ibadan), Nonlinear Optimization Problems (lead by Roman Polyak, George Mason University and Chukwuma Nwozo, University of Ibadan), Dynamical Systems and Applications (led by Barbara Keyfitz, University of Houston and G.O.S. Ekhaguere, University of Ibadan), and Bifurcation Theory and Singularity Theory (led by Martin Golubitsky, University of Houston and V. F. Payne, University of Ibadan). The U.S. personnel will also meet with representative of the Nigerian government and representatives of relevant Nigerian professional societies to discuss ways to strengthen U.S.-Nigerian collaborations. The timing of the visit will also allow the U.S. personnel to attend several sessions of the Annual Meeting of the International Centre for Mathematical and Computer Sciences (ICMCS) in Abuja, where they will have the opportunity to meet with more researchers from many Nigerian universities.The planning visit will strengthen relationships between U.S. and African mathematicians and computer scientists and identify opportunities and mechanisms for enhancing research and education collaborations of mutual interest.

该奖项支持对尼日利亚阿布贾的计划访问，这将使由四名美国研究人员和一名研究生组成的团队能够在数学和计算机科学领域开展更强有力的合作。 计划合作的领域包括数据挖掘中的安全问题（由乔治梅森大学的 PI Arun Sood 和伊巴丹大学的 A. Osofian 领导）、非线性优化问题（由乔治梅森大学的 Roman Polyak 和伊巴丹大学的 Chukwuma Nwozo 领导）、动态系统和应用（由休斯顿大学的 Barbara Keyfitz 和伊巴丹大学的 G.O.S. Ekhaguere 领导） 伊巴丹），以及分岔理论和奇点理论（由休斯顿大学的 Martin Golubitsky 和伊巴丹大学的 V. F. Payne 领导）。美国人员还将与尼日利亚政府代表和尼日利亚相关专业协会代表会面，讨论加强美国与尼日利亚合作的方法。此次访问的时间安排还将使美国人员能够参加在阿布贾举行的国际数学和计算机科学中心（ICMCS）年会的多场会议，在那里他们将有机会与来自尼日利亚许多大学的更多研究人员会面。这次访问计划将加强美国和非洲数学家和计算机科学家之间的关系，并确定加强共同感兴趣的研究和教育合作的机会和机制。
