Collaborative research: Prairie Analysis Seminar 2009-2011

该奖金将用于资助参加2009年、2010年和2011年在堪萨斯州立大学和堪萨斯大学举行的连续三次草原分析研讨会的研究人员的费用。该合作提案的pi和合作pi曾因组织了总共八个版本的草原分析研讨会中的五个而获得奖项。支持将提供给目前没有获得NSF奖的参与者，但一些全体会议发言人除外。据了解，大部分资金将用于研究生、博士后和初级教师，但某些高级参与者也将获得资助。每次会议的节目将包括特邀演讲和一些专题演讲。这次会议的主要目的是向年轻的数学家介绍这一领域，并提供一个论坛来介绍这一理论的最新进展。组织者打算积极吸引年轻数学家、女数学家和其他未被充分代表的群体的数学家，大部分资金将用于这些群体。预计研究生将参加会议。

This award will provide support to defray expenses of researchers participating in the three consecutive meetings of Prairie Analysis Seminar in 2009, 2010 and 2011 at Kansas State University and University of Kansas. PIs and the co-PIs of this collaborate proposal have received previous awards for organizing five out of totally eight editions of the Prairie Analysis Seminar. Support will be provided to participants who do not currently hold NSF awards, with exceptions made for some plenary speakers. It is understood that much of the funding will be directed to graduate students, postdocs, and junior faculty but that certain senior participants will be funded as well.The programs of each meeting will feature invited lectures and a number of contributed talks. The principal objective of this meeting is to introduce young mathematicians to the field, as well as to provide a forum for presentation of the current state of the art of the theory. The organizers intend to actively involve young mathematicians, female mathematicians, and mathematicians from other under-represented groups, to which much of the funding will be directed. Graduate students are expected to participate at the meeting.
