Travel Grants for Research Presentations by Undergraduate Students at the Joint Mathematics Meetings

在为期五年的时间里，该奖项将使本科生能够在世界上最大的数学会议上展示他们的数学研究，年度联合数学会议（JMM），从2021年1月6日至9日在华盛顿，华盛顿特区举行的JMM 2021开始。让他们有机会讨论他们的工作与同行，研究生，并建立数学家谁分享他们对数学的兴奋。 参加JMM的广泛计划提高了他们的数学成长，增加了他们对数学专业的熟悉程度，并帮助他们培养了对数学科学界的归属感，从而使他们更有可能追求数学为基础的职业生涯或研究生学习数学科学。 这种“数学归属感”对来自代表性不足群体的学生尤为重要。 通过促进多样化和数学熟练的劳动力的发展，该项目将提高国家应对当前和未来挑战的能力。每年一月举行的JMM通常吸引6000多名注册者，其中包括约800名本科生。在五年的时间里，这些赠款将帮助大约940名学生提交关于他们研究的海报和论文，并使他们能够参加会议提供的许多其他机会，包括研究生院博览会。 为了有资格获得旅行赠款，本科生必须在美国的机构注册，并且必须在美国数学学会的以研究为重点的论文会议或JMM的学生海报会议中展示他们的工作。 后者将由美国数学协会在JMM 2021上组织，此后由数学荣誉协会Pi Mu Epperly组织。 JMM 2021的网站是http://jointmathematicsmeetings.org/jmm.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知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

For a period of five years, this award will enable undergraduates to present their mathematical research at the world's largest mathematics conference, the annual Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMM), beginning with JMM 2021 on January 6-9, 2021 in Washington, D.C. Presenting their work at a national conference can be a life-changing experience for undergraduate researchers, giving them the opportunity to discuss their work with peers, graduate students, and established mathematicians who share their excitement about mathematics. Participating in the wide-ranging program of the JMM enhances their mathematical growth, increases their familiarity with the mathematics profession, and helps them develop a sense of belonging to the mathematical sciences community, thus making them more likely to pursue a mathematically based career or graduate study in the mathematical sciences. This sense of “belonging in math” is particularly crucial for students from underrepresented groups. By contributing to the development of a diverse and mathematically skilled workforce, this project will advance the Nation’s ability to meet current and future challenges. Held in January each year, the JMM typically attracts more than 6000 registrants, including about 800 undergraduates. Over a five-year period, these grants will help about 940 students to present posters and papers about their research and will enable them to participate in the many other opportunities that the meeting offers, including a Graduate School Fair. In order to be eligible for travel grants, undergraduates must be enrolled a US-based institution and must be presenting their work in either a research-focused paper session of the American Mathematical Society or in the Student Poster Session at JMM. The latter will be organized by the Mathematical Association of America at JMM 2021, and thereafter by the mathematics honor society Pi Mu Epsilon.
