This award supports participation in GROW (Graduate Research Opportunities for Women) 2019, held October 4-6, 2019 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This is a conference focused on female undergraduate students who wish to pursue graduate studies in the mathematical sciences. The conference addresses the crucial transition from undergraduate to graduate school, at which the percentage of women drops significantly. It aims to directly increase the proportion and the absolute number of female US students in graduate programs in the mathematical sciences. The conference will feature four hour-long lectures by highly recognized mathematicians on cutting edge research. Collectively, they will cover a broad spectrum of pure and applied mathematics: algebraic combinatorics, epidemiology, homology theory and non-commutative algebra. Informal roundtable discussions at the conclusion of the conference will allow the participants to learn more about research subjects they find interesting, important open problems, current progress and main challenges. Lectures will be accompanied by panel discussions, where the participants will receive information and advice about the application process for graduate school and being a graduate student, and career opportunities in mathematics. More information about the conference can be found at https://math.illinois.edu/grow2019This 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.

该奖项支持参与GROW（女性研究生研究机会）2019年，2019年10月4日至6日在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校举行。这是一个专注于希望在数学科学领域攻读研究生课程的女本科生的会议。会议讨论了从本科到研究生院的关键过渡，在这个过渡阶段，女性的比例显著下降。它旨在直接增加美国女性学生在数学科学研究生课程中的比例和绝对数量。会议将有四个小时的讲座，由高度认可的数学家对前沿研究。总的来说，他们将涵盖广泛的纯数学和应用数学：代数组合学，流行病学，同源理论和非交换代数。会议结束时的非正式圆桌讨论将使与会者能够更多地了解他们感兴趣的研究主题，重要的开放问题，目前的进展和主要挑战。讲座将伴随着小组讨论，参与者将获得有关研究生院申请程序和研究生以及数学职业机会的信息和建议。有关该会议的更多信息，请访问https://math.illinois.edu/grow2019This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。
