This award supports the 6th Biennial Women-in-Theory Workshop at Harvard University in June 2018. The intended audience of the workshop is graduate students in the field of theoretical computer science (TCS). Motivated by the low overall number of female faculty members, researchers, and students in TCS world wide, the workshop has two goals. The first is to deliver an invigorating educational program to the student participants by inviting leading female researchers to present tutorials of their research topics. The second is to provide an outstanding opportunity to bring together women students from different institutions across the country and internationally, so as to foster a sense of kinship and camaraderie, and to provide access to role models in this area by having senior and junior faculty members and industrial researchers present. The format of this workshop consists of technical tutorials, a non-technical talk, a student rump session, and a panel discussion, following the model of the first five workshops in this series. The first five Women-in-Theory workshops were greeted with great enthusiasm both from the participants and from the TCS research community at large. Since the first workshop in 2008, the organizers have received overwhelmingly positive feedback and many participants have matured to be successful researchers. These serve as testimonials that the workshop is accomplishing its primary goal of helping women become more successful in TCS.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项支持2018年6月在哈佛大学举办的第六届双年度女性理论研讨会。研讨会的目标受众是理论计算机科学（TCS）领域的研究生。由于全世界TCS的女性教职员工、研究人员和学生的总人数很少，讲习班有两个目标。第一个是通过邀请主要的女性研究人员介绍其研究课题的教程，向学生参与者提供一个令人振奋的教育方案。第二个目标是提供一个极好的机会，将来自全国和国际不同机构的女学生聚集在一起，以培养亲情和同志情谊，并通过让高级和初级教师和工业研究人员出席，提供接触这一领域榜样的机会。 这个研讨会的形式包括技术教程，非技术讲座，学生会议和小组讨论，遵循本系列前五个研讨会的模式。前五个理论界妇女讲习班受到了与会者和整个TCS研究界的热烈欢迎。自2008年第一次研讨会以来，组织者收到了压倒性的积极反馈，许多参与者已经成长为成功的研究人员。这些作为证明，该讲习班正在实现其主要目标，帮助妇女成为更成功的TCS。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
