1114831 Tridane, Arizona State University Summary of Proposal: This project is for support for US participants, including professors and students - to a workshop on ?Mathematical Biology: Analysis and Control- Casablanca, Morocco June 20-24, 2011.? The Moroccan organizer is Dr. Noura Yousfi of the Hassan II-Mohammedia-Casablanca University. The focus of the workshop is on disease modeling for endemic and emerging diseases in Africa. Included in the plan are plenary lectures, poster sessions, lectures as well as tutorials for African students, and round tables. A major objective is to facilitate and encourage collaborations between researchers from African countries, the US and other countries.Intellectual Merit: Disease modeling is necessary for understanding and developing control strategies for epidemic diseases. The workshop seeks to create future international collaborations, data sharing, and possible development of international models for educational training in the field of disease modeling. The workshop will expose US researchers to mathematical biology in Africa, promote interactions and collaborations, and train students and postdocs. There will be discussion sessions with African researchers on problems specific to Africa. The workshop's steering committee includes a significant representation from the host country as well as from Kenya, Botswana, Uganda and Tanzania. The topic on disease models and control fits well with Africa, where many problems related to disease emerge. The workshop would facilitate the development of collaborations between junior researchers in the US, with expertise in the modeling of disease, and researchers residing in Africa. Broader impacts: The workshop will have a good impact on junior researcher and students in Morocco and nearby countries. It also benefits the participating US scholars and junior researchers as they will become familiar with some real disease problems occurring in Africa, which can increase the interaction of US researchers and North African colleagues, and make positive impact on promoting scientific research in Africa and also in US (for Africa related problems.) Three of plenary speakers are female, and three of them are minority. The organizers plan to post lectures online, and publish proceedings on a good journal in math biology. Many of the main research advances in this field have come from US, Canadian, and European universities, and that new collaborations between African and non-African researchers would enable data sharing and idea sharing between a broader international community. Mentoring of junior researchers and students by African and non-African senior researchers is also expected.

1114831亚利桑那州立大学州立大学提案摘要：该项目是为了支持美国的参与者，包括教授和学生-参加一个关于？数学生物学：分析与控制-卡萨布兰卡，摩洛哥2011年6月20-24日。 摩洛哥组织者是哈桑二世-穆罕默德-卡萨布兰卡大学的Noura Yousfi博士。研讨会的重点是非洲地方病和新发疾病的疾病建模。 该计划包括全体讲座、海报展示会、为非洲学生举办的讲座和辅导以及圆桌会议。 一个主要目标是促进和鼓励来自非洲国家、美国和其他国家的研究人员之间的合作。智力优势：疾病建模对于理解和制定流行病控制策略是必要的。 该研讨会旨在建立未来的国际合作，数据共享，并可能在疾病建模领域的教育培训国际模型的发展。 该研讨会将使美国研究人员接触非洲的数学生物学，促进互动和合作，并培训学生和博士后。 将与非洲研究人员就非洲特有的问题举行讨论会。 讲习班的指导委员会包括东道国以及肯尼亚、博茨瓦纳、乌干达和坦桑尼亚的重要代表。 关于疾病模式和控制的专题非常适合非洲，那里出现了许多与疾病有关的问题。该研讨会将促进美国具有疾病建模专业知识的初级研究人员与居住在非洲的研究人员之间的合作。 更广泛的影响：讲习班将对摩洛哥和邻近国家的初级研究人员和学生产生良好的影响。美国学者和初级研究人员也将从中受益，因为他们将熟悉非洲发生的一些真实的疾病问题，这可以增加美国研究人员与北非同事的互动，并对促进非洲和美国的科学研究产生积极影响（针对非洲相关问题）。 全体会议发言人中有三位是女性，其中三位是少数民族。组织者计划在网上发布讲座，并在一本好的数学生物学杂志上发表论文集。 该领域的许多主要研究进展来自美国，加拿大和欧洲的大学，非洲和非非洲研究人员之间的新合作将使更广泛的国际社会之间的数据共享和想法共享成为可能。 非洲和非洲以外的高级研究人员还将指导初级研究人员和学生。
