项目摘要

This grant broadens the participation of the next generation of researchers in operations research by providing funding for graduate and undergraduate students interested in research from underrepresented groups in engineering to attend the annual meeting of INFORMS (Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences). The grant contributes to the prosperity and welfare of the nation, since the participating students will comprise the next generation of operations researchers capable of solving complex, large scale societal challenges. The grant will support travel from the 2019 conference through the 2024 conference.The INFORMS Annual Meeting is a leading North American conference for academics and practitioners who are addressing the challenges and opportunities in operations research. The conference draws widely from researchers in different domains and using different methods, and from primarily methods-driven research to primarily problem-driven research. As participants, the graduate students will have a chance to present their work, attend the presentations of other scholars, and network with leading researchers in the field. The PI and governing committee will distribute the opportunity widely and have a fair and transparent selection process to identify candidates from underrepresented groups capable of high quality research who might not otherwise be able to attend the 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.

这笔赠款通过资助来自工程学代表性不足群体的对研究感兴趣的研究生和本科生参加INFINES(运筹学和管理科学研究所)年度会议，扩大了下一代研究人员在运筹学领域的参与。这笔助学金有助于国家的繁荣和福利，因为参与的学生将包括能够解决复杂、大规模社会挑战的下一代运筹学研究人员。这笔赠款将支持从2019年会议到2024年会议的旅行。INFINS年会是北美领先的学术和实践者会议，他们正在应对运筹学领域的挑战和机遇。会议广泛吸收了不同领域和使用不同方法的研究人员，从主要的方法驱动型研究到主要的问题驱动型研究。作为参与者，研究生将有机会介绍他们的工作，参加其他学者的演讲，并与该领域的领先研究人员建立网络。PI和管理委员会将广泛分配机会，并有一个公平和透明的遴选过程，从有能力进行高质量研究的未被充分代表的群体中挑选候选人，否则他们可能无法参加会议。这一奖项反映了NSF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。
