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. The website for JMM 2021 is http://jointmathematicsmeetings.org/jmm.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.

在为期五年的期限内，该奖项将使本科生能够在世界上最大的数学会议——年度联合数学会议 (JMM) 上展示他们的数学研究成果，从 2021 年 1 月 6 日至 9 日在华盛顿特区举行的 JMM 2021 开始。在全国会议上展示他们的工作对于本科生研究人员来说可能是一次改变生活的经历，让他们有机会与同行、研究生和已建立的研究人员讨论他们的工作。 分享他们对数学的兴奋的数学家。 参加 JMM 的广泛项目可以增强他们的数学成长，增加他们对数学专业的熟悉程度，并帮助他们培养对数学科学界的归属感，从而使他们更有可能从事数学科学领域的职业或研究生学习。 这种“数学归属感”对于来自弱势群体的学生来说尤其重要。 通过促进多元化和具有数学技能的劳动力的发展，该项目将提高国家应对当前和未来挑战的能力。 JMM 每年 1 月举行，通常会吸引超过 6000 名注册者，其中包括约 800 名本科生。在五年内，这些赠款将帮助约 940 名学生展示有关其研究的海报和论文，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补助金，本科生必须就读于美国机构，并且必须在美国数学会的以研究为重点的论文会议或 JMM 的学生海报会议上展示他们的工作。 后者将在 JMM 2021 上由美国数学协会组织，随后由数学荣誉学会 Pi Mu Epsilon 组织。 JMM 2021 的网站是 http://jointmathematicsmeetings.org/jmm。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
