Mathematical Sciences: Administration of the Evaluation Process for NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in the Mathematical Sciences

美国数学学会（AMS）建议与国家科学基金会签订合作协议，以管理数学科学博士后研究奖学金候选人的评估过程。 该协议将适用于1997- 1998、1998- 1999和1999-2000三个方案年度，估计费用分别为45,962美元、44,557美元和45,853美元。 AMS与NSF合作，在过去几年中迅速、廉价和成功地管理了这个项目。 申请在普罗维登斯的AMS接收和处理。 一个数学家小组由三个学会选出-AMS，SIAM（工业和应用数学学会）和IMS（数理统计研究所）。 申请由小组进行评估，为期一天的小组会议将提出获奖建议。

The American Mathematical Society (AMS) proposes that it enter into a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation for the purpose of administering the evaluation process of candidates for the Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in the Mathematical Sciences. The agreement would be for program years 1997-98, 1998-99, and 1999-2000 with estimated costs of $45,962, $44,557, and $45,853 respectively. The AMS, in cooperation with the NSF, has administered this program in past years, quickly, inexpensively, and successfully. Applications are received and processed at the AMS in Providence. A panel of mathematicians is selected by three societies - the AMS, SIAM (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics) and IMS (Institute for Mathematical Statistics). Applications are evaluated by the panel and a day-long panel meeting results in recommendations for awards.
