Supporting the Conference Series: NSF/CBMS Regional ResearchConference in Mathematics

数学科学会议委员会将继续管理被称为NSF/CBMS区域研究会议的系列会议。在这个系列的28年历史中，共举行了257次这样的会议。根据其与NSF的合作协议，CBMS为个别会议征求提案，组织一个小组审查提案，并监督专著的出版。这些会议的目的是激发人们对数学研究的兴趣和活动。每个为期五天的会议都有一位杰出的讲师，他将在一个高度集中的数学科学领域就一个重要的当前研究主题发表十次演讲。讲师随后根据这些讲稿编写说明性专著，通常作为区域会议系列的一部分出版。根据会议主题，专著由美国数学学会、工业与应用数学学会出版，或由美国统计协会和数理统计研究所联合出版。每个会议由NSF单独资助。会议提供了约30名参与者的支持，会议组织者邀请已有的研究人员和感兴趣的新人，包括博士后研究员和研究生，参加会议。

The Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences will continue to administer the conference series known as the NSF/CBMS Regional Research Conferences. In the twenty-eight year history of this series, a total of 257 such conferences have been held. Under its cooperative agreement with NSF, CBMS solicits proposals for individual conferences, organizes a panel review for the proposals, and oversees the publication of the monographs. The purpose of these conference is to stimulate interest and activity in mathematical research. Each five day conference features a distinguished lecturer who delivers ten lectures on a topic of important current research in one sharply focussed area of the mathematical sciences. The lecturer subsequently prepares an expository monograph based upon these lectures, which is normally published as a part of a regional conference series. Depending upon the conference topic, the monograph is published by the American Mathematical Society, the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, or jointly by the American Statistical Association and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. Each conference is funded separately by NSF. Support for about 30 participants is provided and the conference organizer invites both established researchers and interested newcomers, including postdoctoral fellows and graduate students, to attend.
