Workshop on Mathematical Biology and Nonlinear Analysis

这是一份为10名美国初级研究人员参加数学生物学和非线性分析研讨会提供旅行支持的提案，该研讨会将于2014年12月19日至21日在迈阿密大学珊瑚盖布尔斯校区举行。研讨会将集中讨论数学方法在研究模拟生物过程的非线性方程中的应用，特别是在生态学、流行病学和进化理论方面。会议将为初级研究人员提供与这些领域的主要研究人员互动的机会。该研讨会将由主要科学家进行全体演讲，并将举行专题会议，研究人员将在会上介绍他们的想法和结果。会议的目的之一是扩大教育和激励初级研究人员和来自代表性不足群体的研究人员的研究。NSF的资助对实现这一目标至关重要。

This is a proposal to provide travel support for ten U.S. based junior researchers to attend the Workshop on Mathematical Biology and Nonlinear Analysis, which will be held at the Coral Gables campus of the University of Miami, December 19-21, 2014. The Workshop will focus on the applications of mathematical methods for studying nonlinear equations that model biological processes, especially in ecology, epidemiology, and evolutionary theory. The conference will provide opportunities for junior researchers to interact with leading researchers in these areas. The workshop will feature plenary lectures by leading scientists and will hold special topic sessions where researchers will present their ideas and results. One of the aims of the conference is to broaden the education and stimulate the research of junior researchers and those from underrepresented groups. NSF funding is vital in achieving this goal.
