Advisory Workshop on Research Networks in the Mathematical Sciences

该奖项支持2009年春季在华盛顿特区举行的为期两天的研讨会，讨论支持数学科学家研究网络的想法。数学科学正变得越来越协作、跨学科和互动。研究网络计划可以提供一种新颖而有效的方式来补充目前个人研究者奖励和大型研究所的资助策略。一个由大约35名与会者组成的具有广泛代表性的小组将考虑其好处和潜在的缺陷，并向DMS提交一份审议报告。研究网络计划将为跨广泛组织的数学科学家创造新的互动方式，使现有计划无法支持的合作成为可能，并为值得支持的研究人员（但由于缺乏国家科学基金会的资金，没有获得个人研究者奖）提供重要的资源。研究网络将为DMS进一步实现NSF的广泛目标提供一种非常具有成本效益的方式。

This award supports a two-day workshop in Washington, DC in Spring, 2009, to discuss ideas for supporting research networks of mathematical scientists. The mathematical sciences are becoming increasingly collaborative, interdisciplinary, and interactive. A program of research networks could provide a novel and effective way to supplement to current funding strategies of individual investigator awards and large institutes. A broadly representative group of about 35 participants will consider the benefits and potential pitfalls, and provide DMS with an report of its deliberations. A program of research networks would create new ways for mathematical scientists across a broad spectrum of organizations to interact, make possible collaborations that current programs cannot support, and provide researchers who merit support (but who, through lack of NSF funds, have not received an individual investigator award) with significant resources. Research Networks would form a very cost-effective way for the DMS to further the broad goals of the NSF.
