This award will provide support for the sixth annual UNCG Regional Mathematics and Statistics Conference, to be held November 5-6, 2010 at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.The conference promotes education and research in the field of mathematics and statistics specifically tailored for undergraduate and graduate students to present results of their research and to allow students of all levels (high-school, undergraduate, graduate) to interact with and learn from each other. Moreover, faculty mentors and high-school teachers will have an opportunity to observe and network with peers and find possible collaborators.While there are various programs across the nation geared towards high-school students, this conference will provide them an opportunity to actively participate in a conference. They will be introduced to current interesting topics in mathematics and statistics by undergraduate and graduate students making it seem more accessible than being introduced by faculty. In regard to broadening the participation of underrepresented groups, it is estimated that women and minorities (who are currently underrepresented in mathematical research) will account for around half of the participants who will be funded by this project. Students from these underrepresented groups will be especially encouraged to participate in the conference and to apply for funding.

该奖项将为将于2010年11月5日至6日在格林斯伯勒的北卡罗来纳州大学举行的第六届UNCG区域数学和统计年会提供支持。该会议旨在促进数学和统计领域的教育和研究，专门为本科生和研究生量身定制，以展示他们的研究成果，并让各级学生（高中，本科，研究生）相互交流和学习。此外，教师导师和高中教师将有机会观察和网络与同龄人，并找到可能的合作者。虽然有全国各地的各种计划面向高中生，这次会议将为他们提供一个机会，积极参与会议。他们将被介绍给当前有趣的数学和统计的本科生和研究生的主题，使它看起来比由教师介绍更容易。关于扩大代表性不足群体的参与，据估计，妇女和少数民族（目前在数学研究中代表性不足）将占该项目资助的参与者的一半左右。将特别鼓励这些代表性不足的群体的学生参加会议并申请资助。
