The 2015 SACNAS National Conference will be held October 29-31 at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, Maryland. This award will support participants at two scientific symposia. The Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) is a society of scientists dedicated to fostering the success of Hispanic/Chicano and Native American scientists from college students to professionals to attain advanced degrees, careers, and positions of leadership in science. One way SACNAS strives to achieve their goals is through their annual National Conference, whose programming includes scientific symposia sessions featuring talks by members of the scientific research community. The purpose of these sessions is to present research from diverse disciplines, share advanced research and discoveries, interact with attendees, and mentor science students. As part of this special program the PIs will organize scientific symposia in the mathematical sciences; specifically, they will organize three sessions dealing with research in abstract algebra at the undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate level. These scientific symposia sessions address a variety of broader impacts. First, by organizing these sessions during one of the nations largest conferences for Hispanics and Native Americans, the PIs will reach students and professionals from traditionally underrepresented groups in academia. These participants will have the opportunity to see and contribute to current mathematical research presented at the 2015 SACNAS National Conference. In addition, conference participants will be able to hear from mathematicians who have mentored and advised students in numerous mathematical research projects; hence giving participants an opportunity to hear about possible research projects and meet new mentors and/or advisers. The undergraduate session, "Abstract Algebra research topics for undergraduates," will introduce algebra research topics that are accessible to students with a post-calculus background. Emphasis will be placed on providing a wide range of interesting problems so to encourage undergraduates to continue their studies and motivate them to pursue further research and work in mathematics. The graduate session, "On my way to becoming an algebraist" will invite underrepresented graduate students to present research talks, thus providing them with a venue to present their scholarly work, network with other researchers, and gain the opportunity for collaboration and furthering their current projects. The postgraduate session, "Algebra: much more than arithmetic" will introduce cutting edge mathematical research done by mathematicians from underrepresented groups as well as provide a venue to meet and interact with researchers interested in mentoring underrepresented students in mathematics. The design of the sessions include four speakers per scientific symposia, allowing for 12 talks with topics in abstract algebra at a wide range of mathematical levels. By providing mathematical talks at a wide range of mathematical levels, the sessions aim to increase interest among conference attendees. In addition, at least 75% of presenters in each session will be from groups underrepresented in the mathematical sciences. The conference website is http://sacnas.org/events/national-conf

2015年SACNAS全国会议将于10月29日至31日在马里兰州的盖洛德国家度假会议中心举行。该奖项将为两个科学研讨会的参与者提供支持。美国科学促进会（SACNAS）是一个科学家协会，致力于促进西班牙裔/墨西哥裔和美国原住民科学家的成功，从大学生到专业人士，以获得高级学位，职业生涯和科学领导地位。SACNAS努力实现其目标的一种方式是通过其年度全国会议，其计划包括科学研讨会会议，由科学研究界成员进行演讲。这些会议的目的是呈现来自不同学科的研究，分享先进的研究和发现，与与会者互动，并指导理科学生。作为这个特别计划的一部分，PI将组织数学科学的科学研讨会;具体来说，他们将组织三次会议，处理本科生、研究生和研究生层次的抽象代数研究。这些科学研讨会讨论了各种更广泛的影响。首先，通过在全国最大的拉美裔和美洲土著会议之一期间组织这些会议，PI将接触到学术界传统上代表性不足的群体的学生和专业人士。这些参与者将有机会看到并有助于当前的数学研究在2015年SACNAS全国会议上提出。此外，与会者将能够听到谁曾在众多的数学研究项目指导和建议学生的数学家;从而让与会者有机会听到有关可能的研究项目，并满足新的导师和/或顾问。本科会议，“抽象代数研究课题的本科生，”将介绍代数研究课题，可访问的学生与后微积分背景。重点将放在提供广泛的有趣的问题，以鼓励本科生继续他们的学业，并激励他们追求进一步的研究和工作的数学。研究生会议，“在我成为一个代数学家的路上”将邀请代表性不足的研究生进行研究会谈，从而为他们提供一个场所来展示他们的学术工作，与其他研究人员建立联系，并获得合作的机会，进一步推进他们目前的项目。研究生会议，“代数：远不止算术”将介绍来自代表性不足的群体的数学家所做的尖端数学研究，并提供一个场所，以满足和互动与有兴趣指导代表性不足的学生在数学研究人员。会议的设计包括每个科学研讨会四名发言人，允许在广泛的数学水平上进行12次抽象代数主题的会谈。通过提供广泛的数学水平的数学讲座，会议旨在提高与会者的兴趣。此外，每届会议中至少有75%的演讲者将来自数学科学代表性不足的群体。 会议网址为http://sacnas.org/events/national-conf
