Collaborative Proposal: EDGE Program

EDGE计划是一个全面的指导和培训计划，旨在支持女性在数学领域的学术发展和研究活动。该项目面向五个目标群体的女性，从博士生到资深教师。该计划包括一个暑期课程，有实际分析、代数和研究生水平的其他主题的研讨会，以及对合作研究的支持。该方案还支持区域指导小组、研究研讨会、导师培训、年度会议、研究协作的差旅支持、研究讲座的差旅支持以及针对每个目标参与者群体的其他不限成员名额的辅导活动。EDGE计划为广泛的数学系实施成功的招聘和保留实践提供支持。通过确保博士项目的成功，我们可以通过增加女性人数来改变数学界，特别是来自在学术界、工业界和政府担任领导角色的少数群体。EDGE方案的目标是增加数学科学领域的女性博士人数，特别是那些来自代表人数不足的群体的女性博士；并将更多的女性置于数学界的明显领导角色中。数学界多样性的增加最终将增强美国在数学和科学方面的竞争力，并允许来自各种背景和文化的人茁壮成长、进步并为这一职业做出贡献。为了实现这些目标，目前的EDGE方案将继续开发和阐述成功和可复制的范例，以留住妇女和少数群体并在数学科学领域取得成功。我们的暑期项目，以及持续的指导和研究活动，提供了这些范例的实际表现。我们支持广泛的数学部门实施这些做法，从而通过增加妇女的数量来改变数学界，特别是来自在学术界、工业界和政府中担任领导者角色的少数群体。

The EDGE Program is a comprehensive mentoring and training program designed to support the academic development and research activities of women in mathematics. The program targets women in five targeted groups from new PhD students to senior faculty. The program includes a summer session, with workshops in real analysis, alge-bra and other topics at a graduate level, as well as support for collaborative research. The program also supports regional mentoring clusters, research symposia, mentor training, an annual conference, travel support for research collaborations, travel support for research talks and other open-ended mentoring activities for each targeted participant group. The EDGE program provides support for the implementation of successful recruitment and retention practices by a broad spectrum of mathematics departments. By ensuring success in Ph.D. programs, we can transform the mathematics community by increasing the number of women, particularly from minority groups who assume lea-dership roles in academia, industry, and government. The goals of the EDGE Program are to increase the number of women PhDs in the ma-thematical sciences, especially those from underrepresented groups; and to place more women in visible leadership roles in the mathematics community. Increased diversity in the mathematics community will ultimately strengthen U.S. competitiveness in mathe-matics and science and allow people from all backgrounds and cultures to thrive, ad-vance, and contribute to the profession. To accomplish these goals, the current EDGE program will continue the development and articulation of successful and replicable paradigms for the retention and success of women and minorities in the mathematical sciences. Our summer program, along with sustained mentoring and research activities provide practical manifestations of these paradigms. We support the implementation of these practices by a broad spectrum of mathematics departments, thereby transforming the mathematics community by in-creasing the number of women, particularly from minority groups who assume leader-ship roles in academia, industry, and government.
