Travel Support Minority Students Attending

项目摘要

This grant provides funding for underrepresented minority graduate students to attend the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) annual meetings for years 2015, 2016, and 2017. The students supported by this grant will either be engaged in the doctoral colloquium of the education forum of INFORMS or presenting a technical talk at the conference. Hence, the students will acquire necessary professional development skills to become an integral part of the operations research and management science profession. In addition, the experience gained through the professional development, the presentation of research, and the interaction with senior professionals in the field will positively affect the students' persistence to obtain a doctoral degree and practice in the field. If successful, the efforts supported by this grant will increase the number and diversity of operations research professionals. Also, the interaction of the students with known professionals in the field along with other students will assist in developing a network of colleagues to provide guidance to further their careers. The primary goal of this work is to increase the exposure of underrepresented minority graduate students to researchers in operations research and vice versa, broadening the perception of both. The secondary goal is to foster these individuals into positions within the professoriate.

该补助金为代表性不足的少数民族研究生提供资金，参加运筹学和管理科学研究所（INFORMS）2015年，2016年和2017年的年会。由该补助金支持的学生将参加INFORMS教育论坛的博士研讨会或在会议上发表技术演讲。因此，学生将获得必要的专业发展技能，成为运筹学和管理科学专业的一个组成部分。此外，通过专业发展，研究演示以及与该领域高级专业人员的互动所获得的经验将积极影响学生的坚持，以获得博士学位和该领域的实践。如果成功的话，这笔赠款支持的努力将增加运筹学专业人员的数量和多样性。此外，学生与该领域知名专业人士的互动沿着其他学生将有助于发展一个同事网络，为他们的职业生涯提供指导。这项工作的主要目标是增加代表性不足的少数民族研究生在运筹学研究人员的曝光，反之亦然，扩大两者的看法。第二个目标是培养这些人进入教授职位。
