This award will partially support the 2019 Field of Dreams Conference, to be held at the Renaissance St. Louis Airport Hotel, in St. Louis, MO, November 15-17, 2019. The Field of Dreams Conference is organized by the Math Alliance, an organization whose goal is to increase the number of students from backgrounds underrepresented in the mathematical sciences who earn doctorates in those fields. Approximately 200 undergraduate and terminal MS students will attend the conference, and about 75% of those will be underrepresented minorities. All funds from this award will be used to pay the cost of attendance for some of these students. The conference coordinates with the Math Alliance's Facilitated Graduate Admissions Process (F-GAP), which has helped place an average of about 80 Math Alliance Scholars per year in graduate programs the last six years with very good retention to this point. The conference is an essential part of a program to produce a more diverse professional mathematical workforce. In addition, there are events at the conference which assist faculty in mentoring practices and help academic departments transform their cultures to be more inclusive and supportive of student success.The Field of Dreams conference has several purposes, including: providing information about all aspects of the mathematical sciences professions to students wishing to pursue doctoral studies; providing information about summer research programs and opportunities at the NSF-funded Mathematical Sciences Institutes; facilitating appropriate placement of Math Alliance students in graduate programs; providing professional development in mentoring and cultural competence for our Math Alliance faculty; and serving as a clearinghouse for employment opportunities for new (and recent) Math Alliance doctoral recipients. More information about the Math Alliance is available at www.mathalliance.org. Material from previous years' conferences, are available at https://mathalliance.org/field-of-dreams-conference/, and the page for the 2019 conference is https://mathalliance.org/2019-field-of-dreams-conference/.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.

该奖项将部分支持将于2019年11月15日至17日在密苏里州圣路易斯万丽圣路易斯机场酒店举行的2019年梦想大会。 梦想之地会议由数学联盟组织，该组织的目标是增加在数学科学领域获得博士学位的学生人数。 大约200名本科和终端MS学生将参加会议，其中约75%将是代表性不足的少数民族。该奖项的所有资金将用于支付其中一些学生的出勤费用。该会议与数学联盟的促进研究生招生程序（F-GAP）相协调，该程序在过去六年中平均每年帮助约80名数学联盟学者进入研究生课程，并保持了很好的保留。该会议是一个计划，以产生一个更多样化的专业数学劳动力的重要组成部分。 此外，在会议上还有一些活动，帮助教师指导实践，并帮助学术部门转变他们的文化，使其更加包容和支持学生的成功。梦想的领域会议有几个目的，包括：为希望攻读博士学位的学生提供有关数学科学专业各个方面的信息;在NSF资助的数学科学研究所提供有关夏季研究计划和机会的信息;促进数学联盟学生在研究生课程的适当位置;为我们的数学联盟教师提供指导和文化能力的专业发展;并为新的（和最近的）数学联盟博士生提供就业机会。有关数学联盟的更多信息，请访问www.mathalliance.org。前几年会议的材料，请访问https：//mathalliance.org/field-of-dreams-conference/，2019年会议的页面是https://mathalliance.org/2019-field-of-dreams-conference/.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智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
