This award supports continuation of the Enhancing Diversity in Graduate Education (EDGE) program. The proportion of women, especially underrepresented minority women, in the mathematical sciences declines at each successive academic level. In response to this problem, the EDGE Program is designed (1) to increase the number of women PhDs in the mathematical sciences, especially those from underrepresented groups; and (2) to place more women in visible leadership roles in the mathematics community. The EDGE Program seeks to achieve these goals by providing a comprehensive mentoring program that supports the academic development and research activities of women in mathematics. The proposed activities target women in four different groups: new PhD students, advanced PhD students, postdocs, and junior faculty. Along with an annual summer session, EDGE supports an annual conference, travel for research collaborations, travel to present research, and other open-ended mentoring activities for each targeted participant group. This project aims to impact the mathematics community by increasing the number of women, particularly from minority groups, who succeed in graduate programs in the mathematical sciences; who assume leadership roles in academia, industry, and government; and who ultimately diversify the mathematical community and provide a sustainable increase in the pool of available "home-grown" talent. Increased diversity in the mathematics community will ultimately strengthen U.S. competitiveness in mathematics and science and allow people from all backgrounds and cultures to thrive, advance, and contribute to the profession. Reducing the gender and racial disparities among faculty in the mathematical sciences will facilitate national efforts to increase the diversity of students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs in mathematics.

该奖项支持继续加强研究生教育（EDGE）计划的多样性。 在数学科学中，妇女的比例，特别是代表性不足的少数民族妇女的比例，在每一个连续的学术级别上都在下降。 针对这一问题，EDGE计划旨在（1）增加数学科学领域的女性博士人数，特别是那些来自代表性不足群体的女性博士人数;（2）让更多女性在数学界担任可见的领导角色。 EDGE计划旨在通过提供全面的指导计划来实现这些目标，该计划支持女性数学领域的学术发展和研究活动。 拟议的活动针对四个不同群体的妇女：新博士生、高级博士生、博士后和初级教员。 沿着每年的夏季会议，EDGE支持年度会议，研究合作旅行，旅行，目前的研究，以及其他开放式的指导活动，为每个目标参与者组。 该项目旨在通过增加妇女的数量，特别是来自少数群体的妇女，来影响数学界，她们在数学科学研究生课程中取得成功;她们在学术界、工业界和政府中担任领导角色;她们最终使数学界多样化，并提供可持续增长的可用“本土”人才库。 数学界的多样性增加将最终加强美国在数学和科学方面的竞争力，并使来自各种背景和文化的人能够茁壮成长，进步并为这一职业做出贡献。 减少数学科学教师之间的性别和种族差异将有助于国家努力增加数学本科和研究生课程学生的多样性。
