This award will support the participation of 10 US-based participants at the Second Workshop for Women in Computational Topology (WinCompTop 2), during July 1-5, 2019. WinCompTop2 is a workshop that facilitates the formation of new and lasting research collaborations between junior and senior women working in the field of computational topology, a field that seeks to identify underlying patterns and mathematical structure in data from areas ranging from medical imaging to networks of sensor arrays. WinCompTop 2 is designed to grow the network of women active in this field by providing both research opportunity and a unique environment for mentoring, collaboration, and cohort building. This type of event is critical, since despite numerous initiatives and undeniable progress over the past few decades, gender imbalance in mathematics and computer science remains significant. In particular, mathematics and computer science are two of three disciplines with the lowest percentage of women attaining PhDs, according to recent data collected by the National Science Foundation. There is considerable evidence that conferences and workshops such as WinCompTop2, geared toward women can and do make a significant impact, and participants report that they see strong benefits from these workshops, which support collaborations, broaden contacts, and raise visibility in the greater mathematical community.The WinCompTop2 workshop fits under the broad umbrella of Research Collaboration Conferences for Women, which the Association for Women in Mathematics encourages and supports. The majority of the time at the workshop will be spent tackling open problems in small working groups headed by established leaders in the field. The schedule consists of long blocks of time for the working groups to do research. At two or more points during the week, all participants will convene and one member from each group will provide a brief summary of their team's progress. In addition, there will be a poster session for graduate students and early-career participants as well as other crucial networking and mentoring opportunities between women at different points in their career as well as between peer colleagues. These relationships will foster a supportive and community-oriented atmosphere that is ideal for generating professional connections and collaborations.

该奖项将支持10名美国参与者参加2019年7月1日至5日举行的第二届计算拓扑女性研讨会(WinCompTop 2)。WinCompTop2是一个研讨会，旨在促进在计算拓扑学领域工作的初级和资深女性之间形成新的和持久的研究合作，该领域寻求确定从医学成像到传感器阵列网络等领域的数据中的潜在模式和数学结构。WinCompTop 2旨在通过为指导、合作和队列建设提供研究机会和独特环境，扩大活跃在该领域的女性网络。这种类型的活动是至关重要的，因为尽管过去几十年来有许多倡议和不可否认的进步，但数学和计算机科学领域的性别不平衡仍然很严重。特别是，根据美国国家科学基金会最近收集的数据，数学和计算机科学是女性获得博士学位比例最低的三个学科中的两个。有相当多的证据表明，像WinCompTop2这样面向女性的会议和研讨会能够而且确实产生了重大影响，与会者报告说，他们从这些研讨会中看到了巨大的好处，这些研讨会支持合作，扩大了联系，并在更大的数学界中提高了知名度。WinCompTop2研讨会符合妇女研究合作会议的广泛框架，女性数学协会鼓励和支持这些会议。讲习班的大部分时间将用于在由该领域知名领导人领导的小型工作组中处理公开问题。时间表包括各工作组进行研究的较长时间段。在一周内的两次或两次以上，所有参与者都将开会，每组一名成员将简要介绍他们团队的进展情况。此外，还将为研究生和职业生涯早期参与者举办一次海报会议，并在处于职业生涯不同阶段的妇女之间以及在同行同事之间提供其他重要的网络和指导机会。这些关系将营造一种支持和面向社区的氛围，这是建立专业联系和合作的理想选择。会议的网站可以在这里找到：https://maths.anu.edu.au/news-events/events/women-computational-topology.This奖反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
