This award will support student attendance at the Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) Women Event which will be co-located with the 51st Annual Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Symposium on the Theory of Computing (STOC), June 20-24, 2022, in Rome, Italy. Scientists all over the world are increasingly acknowledging the need for diversity. Many diversity-related workshops are being organized with the goal of building community, increasing camaraderie, and helping minorities to share their experience and receive mentoring. While these workshops and meetings of minority communities are extremely important, it is equally important to co-locate these meetings with major technical conferences whenever possible. This allows the broader research community to hear the issues raised by minorities. It also allows the minority participants to better take advantage of the technical conferences.STOC is one of the flagship annual research conference in the field of Theoretical Computer Science (TCS). STOC features presentations covering all aspects of TCS and encourages papers that broaden the reach of computer science theory. Moreover, the co-located theory festival organizes invited sessions with the best theoretical papers presented outside the TCS community. This award will provide partial support to approximately 10 students to attend this leading conference as well as the TCS Women event. The event will consist of a lunch, a panel of senior female researchers, and a workshop open to all, featuring research presentations by prominent female researchers. An important goal will be to provide opportunities for network-building among women and minority researchers in TCS. It will contribute towards attracting more under-represented groups to TCS research, and will provide a positive environment for their future professional development.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.

该奖项将支持学生出席理论计算机科学（TCS）女性活动，该活动将与2022年6月20日至24日在罗马，意大利举行的第51届计算机协会（ACM）计算理论研讨会（STOC）共同举办。世界各地的科学家越来越认识到多样性的必要性。目前正在组织许多与多样性有关的讲习班，目的是建立社区，增进同志情谊，帮助少数群体分享经验和接受指导。虽然少数群体社区的这些讲习班和会议极为重要，但同样重要的是，尽可能将这些会议与主要技术会议安排在同一地点。这使得更广泛的研究界能够听到少数群体提出的问题。它还允许少数参与者更好地利用技术会议。STOC是理论计算机科学（TCS）领域的旗舰年度研究会议之一。STOC的特点是介绍了TCS的各个方面，并鼓励扩大计算机科学理论范围的论文。此外，同一地点的理论节组织邀请会议与TCS社区以外的最佳理论论文。该奖项将提供部分支持，约10名学生参加这一领先的会议以及TCS妇女活动。该活动将包括午餐会，高级女性研究人员小组和向所有人开放的研讨会，其中包括杰出女性研究人员的研究报告。一个重要的目标将是为土族塞人的妇女和少数民族研究人员提供建立网络的机会。它将有助于吸引更多的代表性不足的群体参与TCS研究，并为他们未来的专业发展提供积极的环境。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
