This award provides support for a one-day conference, The NYC Regional Math Alliance Conference, to be held at Kean University in New Jersey on September 15, 2018. The NYC Regional Math Alliance is an affiliate of the National Alliance for Doctoral Studies in the Mathematical Sciences (Math Alliance) that is focused on an effort to increase the number of students from underrepresented groups who obtain doctoral degrees in the mathematical sciences. The conference will highlight the research of students being mentored by the NYC Regional Math Alliance and will promote a continued interest in mathematics by fostering an atmosphere conducive to mathematical discussion and to the formulation and nurturing of new collaborations.The conference will further the goal of increasing the numbers of students from underrepresented groups obtaining doctoral degrees in the mathematical sciences in several ways. On the one hand, the exposure of student participants to poster presentations and talks on mathematical research by their peers will heighten their interest in the subject. Meeting and interacting with faculty from PhD programs at nearby institutions presents the pursuit of a PhD as an accessible and realizable goal. Additionally, the conference will contribute to the building of a community of faculty interested in mentoring students from underrepresented groups. There are already a large number of faculty in the New Jersey and NYC area committed to the aims of the conference and this meeting will help organize and further their efforts. More details on the conference can be found on the webpage, http://mathalliance.ccny.cuny.edu/conference-2018/.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.

该奖项为为期一天的会议提供支持，纽约地区数学联盟会议，将于2018年9月15日在新泽西的基恩大学举行。纽约地区数学联盟是全国数学科学博士研究联盟（数学联盟）的附属机构，致力于增加获得数学科学博士学位的代表性不足群体的学生人数。本次会议将重点介绍由纽约地区数学联盟指导的学生的研究，并将通过培养有利于数学讨论和制定和培育新的合作的氛围来促进对数学的持续兴趣。会议将通过多种方式进一步实现增加来自代表性不足群体的学生获得数学科学博士学位的人数的目标。一方面，让学生有机会接触由同侪所作的海报介绍及数学研究讲座，可提高他们对数学研究的兴趣。会议和与附近机构的博士课程的教师互动提出了追求博士学位作为一个可访问的和可实现的目标。此外，会议将有助于建立一个有兴趣指导来自代表性不足群体的学生的教师社区。在新泽西和纽约地区已经有大量的教师致力于会议的目标，这次会议将有助于组织和进一步努力。关于会议的更多细节可以在网页上找到，http://mathalliance.ccny.cuny.edu/conference-2018/.This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
