This award will support undergraduate participants of the Texas Undergraduate Mathematics Conference (TUMC) which will be hosted on November 2-3, 2018 by Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas. In fall 2019, TUMC will be hosted by the University of Texas at Tyler. The conference focus is on research done by undergraduate students or in conjunction with undergraduates. This conference offers undergraduates the opportunity to see the research being done by their peers and to start the transition into the larger community of mathematical research. Now in its 15th year, the Texas Undergraduate Mathematics Conference (TUMC) seeks to provide students with a forum to present their work, to discover research opportunities, and to learn more about graduate school and non-academic careers in mathematics. Conference attendees often come from groups that are underrepresented at research conferences: TUMC recruits many students from community colleges, Hispanic serving institutions, historically black colleges and universities, and institutions having at least 40% first generation college students. As part of this vital link between underserved undergraduate students and the mathematical research community, TUMC will be run without any associated cost for undergraduate participants. This support is meant to increase participation from institutions with limited resources, such as community colleges. The Executive Committee for TUMC will also expand their efforts in collecting demographic information to include information about the research activities of student and faculty participants. In particular, they will investigate the ways in which the uptake of research activities occurs in the year after attending TUMC. Additional information about the conference can be found on the website: http://sections.maa.org/texas/tumc/.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.

该奖项将支持德克萨斯大学本科生数学会议（TUMC）的本科生参与者，该会议将于2018年11月2日至3日由Stephen F.德克萨斯州纳科多奇斯的奥斯汀州立大学。2019年秋季，TUMC将由德克萨斯大学泰勒分校主办。会议的重点是由本科生或与本科生一起完成的研究。这次会议为本科生提供了机会，看到他们的同龄人正在做的研究，并开始过渡到更大的数学研究社区。现在，在其第15个年头，得克萨斯大学本科数学会议（TUMC）旨在为学生提供一个论坛，介绍他们的工作，发现研究机会，并了解更多关于研究生院和非学术职业的数学。会议与会者往往来自研究会议代表不足的群体：TUMC从社区学院、西班牙裔服务机构、历史上的黑人学院和大学以及至少有40%第一代大学生的机构招募了许多学生。作为服务不足的本科生和数学研究社区之间的重要联系的一部分，TUMC将在没有任何相关费用的情况下运行。这种支持旨在增加资源有限的机构，如社区学院的参与。TUMC执行委员会还将扩大其在收集人口统计信息方面的努力，以包括有关学生和教师参与者的研究活动的信息。特别是，他们将调查在参加TUMC后的一年中研究活动的吸收方式。有关会议的更多信息可以在网站上找到：http://sections.maa.org/texas/tumc/.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。
