The NSF/CBMS series of Regional Research Conferences in the Mathematical Sciences is an ongoing project administered by the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences (CBMS) and supported continuously by NSF for the past 41 years. Each conference features a distinguished lecturer who delivers a sequence of ten lectures on a topic of important current research in one sharply focused area of the mathematical sciences. This award to the American Mathematical Society, with subcontract to CBMS, supports CBMS in its efforts to publicize conferences and administer the resulting publications, fostering greater dissemination of material related to cutting edge-topics and increasing the impact of the conferences in the community. The individual conferences are supported on separate NSF awards to host institutions.The purpose of the NSF/CBMS conference series is to promote research in areas of the mathematical sciences which have recently seen significant new results and which hold promise for continued significant development. A conference achieves that purpose by having the principal lecturer, who is both a major researcher in the area of the conference and a good expositor, deliver 10 lectures over a five day period to the participants. The lectures typically cover the recent development of the field and chart the possible new directions and open problems. Thus the format of the conferences is primarily educational, but at the research level. Approximately one-half of the participants at these conferences are graduate students and postdocs and the conferences give them a good perspective on both the current research and the interesting open problems in an important area of the mathematical sciences. The lecturer promises to prepare a substantial expository monograph based upon his or her lectures. The resulting monograph reaches a broader audience and provides an introduction to readers who wish to begin research in the field. Moreover, the conferences are typically held at institutions that are not yet among the top research institutions, but which are interested in enhancing their local research activity.

数学科学中的NSF/CBMS系列区域研究会议是一个由数学科学会议委员会（CBM）管理的持续项目，并在过去41年中由NSF持续支持。每次会议都有一个杰出的讲师，他在数学科学的一个重点领域中提供了一系列关于当前研究主题的十个讲座。 该奖项授予美国数学学会，并分包给了CBMS，支持CBMS努力宣传会议和管理由此产生的出版物，从而促进了对与最前沿有关的材料的更大传播，并增加了社区会议的影响。 单独的NSF颁奖典礼支持了主机机构。NSF/CBMS会议系列的目的是促进数学科学领域的研究，这些领域最近看到了重大的新结果，并且对持续的重大发展保持了希望。会议通过让主要讲师既是会议领域的主要研究人员又是一个好的外交商人，从而实现了这一目的，在五天的时间内为参与者提供了10次讲座。讲座通常涵盖该领域的最新发展，并绘制可能的新方向和开放问题。因此，会议的格式主要是教育意义的，但在研究层面。这些会议上大约一半的参与者是研究生和博士后，这些会议使他们对当前的研究和数学科学重要领域的有趣开放问题具有很好的看法。讲师承诺根据他或她的演讲准备大量的说明性专着。 由此产生的专着吸引了更广泛的受众，并为希望在该领域进行研究的读者提供了介绍。此外，这些会议通常是在尚未属于顶级研究机构但有兴趣增强其本地研究活动感兴趣的机构举行的。
