Mathematical Connectivity through Research and Equity for Women

妇女数学协会是妇女在数学领域的主要专业协会，在提高妇女在数学科学中的地位和知名度方面发挥着关键作用。该奖项将为AWM的新项目和正在进行的项目提供支持，这些项目对AWM的使命至关重要。这一MathCREW项目的目标是：1)加强、推广和动员妇女数学协会开发的成功研究网络(RN)模式；2)宣传妇女和少数民族数学家的杰出工作。该项目将为将在全国范围内产生影响的跨学科活动提供会议、讲习班和差旅支持。建立支持和充满活力的数学社区将使成功的研究合作成为可能，并促进数学知识的发展。这一奖项将支持22个已建立的AWM研究网络，并允许形成新的网络。在所有地区、所有学科和所有发展水平上，科学领域的性别差距是非常真实的。女性在教育和就业方面的经历一直不如男性积极。该奖项支持的项目将覆盖所有数学科学，涉及所有类型的机构，并将吸引所有职业水平的数学家。该项目包括支持726多名处于不同职业阶段的数学家，其中大多数是女性，其中许多人来自代表性不足的背景。网络将扩大到以少数族裔妇女为中心，并促进跨学科研究。研究生和研究型数学家将在AWM专题讨论会和国家会议期间举办的讲习班上汇聚一堂。新的跨学科网络和旨在促进少数族裔妇女工作的网络将被建立起来，以解决我们这个时代最具挑战性的问题。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。

The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) is the leading professional society for women in mathematics and plays a critical role in increasing the presence and visibility of women in the mathematical sciences. This award will provide support for new and ongoing programs of the AWM that are central to its mission. The objectives of this MathCREW project are 1) to strengthen, extend, and mobilize the successful Research Network (RN) Model developed by the Association for Women in Mathematics; and 2) to make visible the outstanding work of women and minority mathematicians. This project will provide conference, workshop, and travel support for cross-disciplinary activities that will have an impact at the national scale. Establishing supportive and vibrant mathematical communities will enable successful research collaborations and advance mathematical knowledge. This award will support the 22 established AWM Research Networks and allow the formation of new ones. The gender gap in science is very real, across all regions, all disciplines, and all development levels. Women’s experiences in both educational and employment settings are consistently less positive than men’s. The programs supported by the award will reach across all of the mathematical sciences, will touch all types of institutions, and will engage mathematicians at all career-levels. The project includes support for more than 726 mathematicians at many career stages, most of whom are women and many of whom are from underrepresented backgrounds. Networks will be broadened to center minority women and promote interdisciplinary research. Graduate students and research mathematicians will be brought together at AWM symposia and at workshops held during national meetings. New interdisciplinary networks and networks designed to promote the work of minority women will be formed to attack the most challenging problems of our time.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.
