Programs at the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences

菲尔兹研究所位于加拿大多伦多，是国际顶尖数学科学研究机构之一。它的课程涵盖纯数学和应用数学和统计学的广泛领域，以及计算机科学、物理和理论生物科学的许多相关领域。该研究所提供了一个促进研究人员之间互动和交流的场所。它的项目旨在培训和激励早期职业科学家，并促进大学研究人员和工业科学家之间在涉及数学、物理和生物科学以及社会的许多方面的主题上的合作。菲尔兹研究所的国际声誉、其参与者的高水平及其项目的广泛科学范围为研究人员提供了无数机会从事自己的工作，了解并为科学进步做出贡献，并培养高级研究生。来自世界各地的约4000名研究人员每年参加菲尔兹研究所的项目。平均有620名研究人员在美国，其中约一半得到了该研究所的支持。此外，这些在美国的研究人员中，约有一半是初级教员、博士后研究人员或研究生。他们作为参与者和演讲者在研究所参加会议、讲习班、高级课程和其他活动，为他们提供了与其专业领域的一些顶尖国际研究人员合作并向他们学习的机会。这项NSF奖助金提供了资源，以支持一些美国研究人员参与菲尔兹研究所的工作。这笔资金的影响将是每年为大约92名美国参与者提供旅行和当地支持，其中大部分是早期职业数学家，包括初级教师、学生和博士后研究员。

The Fields Institute, located in Toronto, Canada, is among the top international research institutes in the mathematical sciences. Its programs cover a broad spectrum of areas in pure and applied mathematics and statistics, as well as many related areas of computer sciences, physics, and theoretical biological sciences. The Institute provides a venue that facilitates interactions and communication among researchers. Its programs serve to train and inspire early career scientists and promote collaborations between university-based researchers and scientists working in industry, on topics that touch many aspects of mathematics, the physical and biological sciences, and society. The international reputation of the Fields Institute, the high level of its participants, and the broad scientific range of its programs provide numerous opportunities for researchers to pursue their own work, to learn about and to contribute to scientific advances, and to train advanced graduate students.Approximately 4000 researchers from around the world participate in Fields Institute programs each year. On average 620 are U.S.-based researchers, about half of whom are offered support by the Institute. Also about one half of these U.S.-based researchers are junior faculty, postdoctoral researchers, or graduate students. Their time spent at the Institute as participants and speakers in conferences, workshops, advanced courses, and other events provides the opportunity for them to work with and learn from some of the top international researchers in their areas of specialization. This NSF grant award provides resources to support some of these U.S.-based researchers for their participation at the Fields Institute. The impact of this funding will be to provide travel and local support for approximately 92 US-based participants per year, for the most part early career mathematicians, including junior faculty, students, and postdoctoral fellows.
