Mathematics Research Communities

数学研究社区(MRC)计划是美国数学学会(AMS)的一个独特的国家计划，旨在让职业生涯早期的数学科学家参与以专题为重点的合作研究，并为他们提供各自领域领先学者的指导。它的目标是培养下一代数学家，并推动科学知识的前沿。它通过创建职业生涯早期数学家的研究队列来追求这些目标，这些研究队列将通过促进整个数学科学中关于重要主题的连贯研究计划的发展来支持这些目标。参与者是高级研究生或新近获得博士学位的学生，他们参加了为期一年的体验，其中包括：夏季为期一周的密集会议，在此期间，参与者就选定研究领域的开放问题进行工作；AMS在年度联合数学会议上的特别会议；支持协作旅行；以及指导。每年的主题由医疗辅导员协会主席任命的顾问委员会选出。该奖项将在2020年至2022年的三年期间支持MRC计划。2020年和2021年，夏季会议每年将为大约120名与会者提供服务，到2022年，与会者人数将增加到160人。从2021年或2020年开始，该计划将包括至少一项MRC，重点关注与商业、工业或政府相关的数学主题。在其将女性纳入MRC计划的记录的基础上，AMS将继续努力招募不同性别、种族/民族、地理位置和雇主类型的参与者。2020年，该奖项将支持五次MRC会议，AMS预计将在罗德岛州西格林威治的一个会议中心举办这些会议。它们的题目是：(1)传染病动力学：跨多尺度的生态模型；(2)计算几何和代数拓扑的组合应用；(3)度量空间中的分析；(4)多复变量中的新问题；以及(5)在干草堆中找针：使用组合学和线性代数的反问题的方法。2021年和2022年MRC会议的议题将由MRC咨询委员会确定，该委员会负责评估数学和相关科学学者团队提交的建议。2021年中期审查的提案将于2019年9月提交，预计至少有一个主题将涉及商业、工业或政府相关领域。这些会议将把资深和初级研究人员聚集在一个理想的环境中建立联系，预计与会者和组织者将建立长期的合作关系，并因此直接产生许多高质量的出版物。MRC计划的网站是http://www.ams.org/programs/research-communities/mrc.This奖，反映了国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Mathematics Research Communities (MRC) program is a distinctive national program of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) that engages early-career mathematical scientists in topically-focused collaborative research and provides them with mentoring from leading scholars in their fields. Its goals are to train the next generation of mathematicians and to advance the frontiers of scientific knowledge. It pursues these goals by creating research cohorts of early-career mathematicians that will sustain them over time by fostering the development of coherent research programs on important topics throughout the mathematical sciences. The participants, who are advanced graduate students or recent PhDs, take part in a year-long experience that includes: an intensive one-week conference in the summer, during which the participants work on open problems in the chosen research areas; AMS Special Sessions at the annual Joint Mathematics Meetings; support for collaboration travel; and mentoring. Each year's topics are selected by an Advisory Board appointed by the AMS President. This award will support the MRC program over a three-year period from 2020 through 2022. In 2020 and 2021 the summer conferences will serve approximately 120 participants per year, with the number of participants increasing to 160 in 2022. Starting in 2021 or 2020, the program will include at least one MRC focused on a mathematically related topic of relevance in business, industry, or government. Building on its record of including women in the MRC program, the AMS will continue its effort to recruit groups of participants who are diverse in terms of gender, race/ethnicity, geographic location, and employer type.In 2020 this award will support five MRC conferences, which the AMS expects to host at a conference center in West Greenwich, Rhode Island. Their titles are: (1) Dynamics of Infectious Diseases: Ecological Models Across Multiple Scales; (2) Combinatorial Applications of Computational Geometry and Algebraic Topology; (3) Analysis in Metric Spaces; (4) New Problems in Several Complex Variables; and (5) Finding Needles in Haystacks: Approaches to Inverse Problems using Combinatorics and Linear Algebra. The topics for the MRC conferences in 2021 and 2022 will be determined by the MRC Advisory Board, which evaluates proposals submitted by teams of scholars in the mathematical and related sciences. Proposals for the 2021 MRCs are due in September 2019, with the expectation that at least one topic will be in an area of relevance in business, industry, or government. The conferences will bring together senior and junior researchers in an ideal environment to establish connections, and it is expected that participants and organizers will establish long-lasting collaborative relationships and produce many high-quality publications as a direct result of this experience.
