Graduate Research Opportunities for Women (GROW) 2019

该奖项支持参加2019年10月4日至6日在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校举行的2019年Growth(女性研究生研究机会)。这是一场聚焦于希望攻读数学科学研究生课程的女本科生的会议。这次会议讨论了从本科生到研究生的关键过渡，在这一过渡中，女性比例大幅下降。它的目的是直接增加数学科学研究生项目中美国女性学生的比例和绝对数量。会议将由知名数学家就尖端研究发表长达四个小时的演讲。总而言之，它们将涵盖纯数学和应用数学的广泛范围：代数组合学、流行病学、同调理论和非交换代数。会议结束时的非正式圆桌讨论将使与会者能够更多地了解他们认为有趣的、重要的未决问题、目前的进展和主要挑战的研究主题。讲座将伴随着小组讨论，参与者将获得关于申请研究生院和成为研究生的过程以及数学职业机会的信息和建议。有关这次会议的更多信息可以在https://math.illinois.edu/grow2019This网站上找到，该奖项反映了美国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。

This award supports participation in GROW (Graduate Research Opportunities for Women) 2019, held October 4-6, 2019 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This is a conference focused on female undergraduate students who wish to pursue graduate studies in the mathematical sciences. The conference addresses the crucial transition from undergraduate to graduate school, at which the percentage of women drops significantly. It aims to directly increase the proportion and the absolute number of female US students in graduate programs in the mathematical sciences. The conference will feature four hour-long lectures by highly recognized mathematicians on cutting edge research. Collectively, they will cover a broad spectrum of pure and applied mathematics: algebraic combinatorics, epidemiology, homology theory and non-commutative algebra. Informal roundtable discussions at the conclusion of the conference will allow the participants to learn more about research subjects they find interesting, important open problems, current progress and main challenges. Lectures will be accompanied by panel discussions, where the participants will receive information and advice about the application process for graduate school and being a graduate student, and career opportunities in mathematics. More information about the conference can be found at https://math.illinois.edu/grow2019This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
