Collaborative research: Prairie Analysis Seminar 2009-2011

该奖项将为参加2009年、2010年和2011年在堪萨斯州立大学和堪萨斯大学举行的草原分析研讨会连续三次会议的研究人员提供支持。PIS和这项合作计划的共同PIS曾因组织草原分析研讨会总共八个版本中的五个而获得过奖项。将向目前没有持有NSF奖项的与会者提供支持，但一些全体演讲者除外。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金。每次会议的计划都将包括特邀讲座和一些贡献演讲。这次会议的主要目的是将年轻的数学家介绍给这一领域，并提供一个展示该理论最新水平的论坛。组织者打算让年轻的数学家、女数学家和来自其他代表性不足群体的数学家积极参与，大部分资金将流向这些群体。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.
