This award will support the UNCG Regional Mathematics and Statistics Conference annually for three years, beginning in November of 2016. The main goal of the University of North Carolina Greensboro (UNCG) Regional Mathematics and Statistics Conference is to provide a venue for students at all levels to share and experience research in the field of mathematics and statistics. The opportunity for personal interaction among students and, between students and faculty is a hallmark of our conference. These interactions enhance the research infrastructure and are essential for the success of student research and for training a new generation of mathematicians and statisticians. Moreover, due to the funding of NSF the principal investigators will be able to focus support on those currently underrepresented in mathematical research. Students from underrepresented groups accounted for about half of the supported participants in prior years. This conference started as an annual undergraduate student conference in 2005 and has now expanded to include graduate researchers since 2009. The research sessions concentrate on topics in statistics, mathematical biology, graph theory, and computational biology but are open to other topics as well. The conference will entail a faculty development workshop to provide training for faculty to increase their effectiveness at mentoring undergraduate researchers. The conference has established a tradition of attracting active student researchers and their faculty mentors from North Carolina and Virginia. The NSF support will allow the conference to attract participants from the entire Southeastern Atlantic region. The conference website is: http://www.uncg.edu/mat/rmsc/.

该奖项将支持联合国儿童基金会区域数学和统计会议，从2016年11月开始，为期三年。北卡罗来纳大学格林斯博罗分校（UNCG）区域数学和统计会议的主要目标是为各级学生提供一个分享和体验数学和统计领域研究的场所。学生之间，学生和教师之间的个人互动的机会是我们会议的一个标志。这些互动加强了研究基础设施，对学生研究的成功和培养新一代数学家和统计学家至关重要。此外，由于国家科学基金会的资助，主要研究人员将能够集中支持那些目前在数学研究中代表性不足的人。前几年，来自代表性不足群体的学生约占支持参与者的一半。该会议始于2005年的年度本科生会议，自2009年以来已扩大到包括研究生研究人员。研究课程集中于统计学、数学生物学、图论和计算生物学的主题，但也对其他主题开放。会议将包括一个教师发展研讨会，为教师提供培训，以提高他们指导本科生研究人员的效率。该会议已经建立了吸引来自北卡罗来纳州和弗吉尼亚州的活跃的学生研究人员及其教师导师的传统。国家科学基金会的支持将使会议能够吸引来自整个东南大西洋地区的与会者。会议网址为：http://www.uncg.edu/mat/rmsc/。
