Expanding Research and Professional Opportunities for Early-Career Female Mathematicians

美国女性数学协会（AWM）将在两个主要的美国数学会议上组织研讨会和相关活动：联合数学会议（2021年1月6日至9日在华盛顿JMM举行的AWM研讨会）和工业与应用数学协会（2020年7月6日至10日在多伦多SIAM举行的AWM研讨会）。在JMM和SIAM年度会议上的AWM研讨会为早期职业女性提供了在国家会议上展示她们的工作的机会，从而提高了女性在数学领域的知名度。该奖项特别注重支持研究生参与这些活动。增加妇女和其他代表性不足的群体对数学科学的参与对我们社会的健康和改变研究数学家的制度规范至关重要。通过促进早期职业女性数学家的研究，并通过创建一个以共同研究兴趣为中心的紧密结合的知识分子社区，这些活动将产生新的指导关系，新的研究合作，并在特色研究领域增加科学产出。每次会议的研讨会都有一个研究重点，反映了以前举行的AWM研究合作研讨会，这是一个为期一周的活动，参与者在开放的研究问题上共同努力。在一个特定的会议研讨会上，每个研究领域的领导者展示他们的研究，目的是向早期职业数学家（主要是研究生）介绍他们领域的最新技术。研究生，反过来，在海报会议和小组互动中分享他们的研究。接下来的两个研讨会的研究主题包括材料数学（SIAM 2020）和分析（JMM 2021）。这些主题涵盖了当前广泛的数学问题，并将相应地提高广大早期职业女性数学家的未来职业生涯。提议的研讨会的智力价值继承自每个AWM研讨会：一个专门的研究活动，汇集了在当前、活跃和相关研究领域工作的数学家。这些领域的初级研究人员将特别受益于合作活动，因为他们可以接触到该领域的最新进展，有助于加快该领域的突破步伐。有关研讨会的更多细节可在https://awm-math.org/meetings/awm-jmm/和https://awm-math.org/meetings/awm-siam/This上获得。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。

The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) will organize workshops and related events at two major US mathematics meetings: Joint Math Meetings (AWM Workshop at JMM, Jan 6-9, 2021 in Washington, DC) and the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (AWM Workshop at SIAM, July 6-10, 2020 in Toronto, CA). The AWM Workshops at the JMM and SIAM annual meetings increase the visibility of women in mathematics by providing an opportunity for early-career women to present their work at a national conference. In particular, this award focuses on supporting participation of graduate students in these events. Increasing the participation of women and other under-represented groups in the mathematical sciences is of critical importance to the health of our society and changing the institutional norms of what a research mathematician looks like. By promoting the research of early-career women mathematicians, and by creating a tightly-knit intellectual community centered on shared research interests, these events will generate new mentoring relationships, new research collaborations, and increased scientific output in featured research areas. Each meeting's Workshop has a research focus reflecting a previously held AWM Research Collaboration Workshop, a week-long event where participants work together on open research problems. At a particular meeting's Workshop, leaders in each research field present their research with the intention of introducing early-career mathematicians (primarily graduate students) to the current state-of-the-art in their field. Graduate students, in turn, share their research during poster sessions and small group interactions. The research topics of the next two workshops include Mathematics of Materials (SIAM 2020) and Analysis (JMM 2021). These topics span a broad spectrum of current mathematical problems, and will correspondingly enhance the future careers of a broad swath of early-career women mathematicians. The Intellectual Merit of the proposed workshops are inherited from each AWM Workshop: a tailored research event that brings together mathematicians working in a current, active, and relevant areas of research. Junior researchers in these areas will particularly benefit from collaborative events where they are exposed to the most recent advances in the area, helping accelerate the pace of breakthrough in that field. More details about the workshops are available at https://awm-math.org/meetings/awm-jmm/ and https://awm-math.org/meetings/awm-siam/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.
