Expanding Research and Professional Opportunities for Early-Career Female Mathematicians

妇女在数学协会（AWM）将在两个主要的美国数学会议组织研讨会和相关活动：联合数学会议（AWM研讨会在JMM，2021年1月6日至9日在华盛顿，DC）和工业与应用数学学会（AWM研讨会在SIAM，2020年7月6日至10日在多伦多，CA）。在JMM和SIAM年度会议上举办的AWM研讨会通过为早期职业妇女提供在全国会议上展示其工作的机会，提高了妇女在数学领域的知名度。 特别是，该奖项侧重于支持研究生参与这些活动。增加妇女和其他代表性不足的群体对数学科学的参与，对我们社会的健康和改变研究数学家的制度规范至关重要。通过促进早期职业女性数学家的研究，并通过创建一个以共同研究兴趣为中心的紧密联系的知识社区，这些活动将产生新的指导关系，新的研究合作，并增加特色研究领域的科学产出。 每次会议的研讨会都有一个研究重点，反映了以前举行的AWM研究合作研讨会，为期一周的活动，参与者共同研究开放的研究问题。 在一个特定的会议的研讨会上，每个研究领域的领导者介绍他们的研究，目的是向早期职业数学家（主要是研究生）介绍他们领域的最新技术。 反过来，研究生在海报会议和小组互动中分享他们的研究。 接下来的两个研讨会的研究主题包括材料数学（SIAM 2020）和分析（JMM 2021）。这些主题涵盖了当前数学问题的广泛范围，并将相应地提高一大批早期职业女性数学家的未来职业生涯。拟议的研讨会的智力优点是从每个AWM研讨会继承：一个量身定制的研究活动，汇集了数学家在当前，活跃，相关的研究领域工作。这些领域的初级研究人员将特别受益于合作活动，他们将接触到该领域的最新进展，有助于加快该领域的突破步伐。有关研讨会的更多详细信息可在https://awm-math.org/meetings/awm-jmm/和https://awm-math.org/meetings/awm-siam/This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) will organize workshops and related events at two major US mathematics meetings: Joint Math Meetings (AWM Workshop at JMM, Jan 6-9, 2021 in Washington, DC) and the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (AWM Workshop at SIAM, July 6-10, 2020 in Toronto, CA). The AWM Workshops at the JMM and SIAM annual meetings increase the visibility of women in mathematics by providing an opportunity for early-career women to present their work at a national conference. In particular, this award focuses on supporting participation of graduate students in these events. Increasing the participation of women and other under-represented groups in the mathematical sciences is of critical importance to the health of our society and changing the institutional norms of what a research mathematician looks like. By promoting the research of early-career women mathematicians, and by creating a tightly-knit intellectual community centered on shared research interests, these events will generate new mentoring relationships, new research collaborations, and increased scientific output in featured research areas. Each meeting's Workshop has a research focus reflecting a previously held AWM Research Collaboration Workshop, a week-long event where participants work together on open research problems. At a particular meeting's Workshop, leaders in each research field present their research with the intention of introducing early-career mathematicians (primarily graduate students) to the current state-of-the-art in their field. Graduate students, in turn, share their research during poster sessions and small group interactions. The research topics of the next two workshops include Mathematics of Materials (SIAM 2020) and Analysis (JMM 2021). These topics span a broad spectrum of current mathematical problems, and will correspondingly enhance the future careers of a broad swath of early-career women mathematicians. The Intellectual Merit of the proposed workshops are inherited from each AWM Workshop: a tailored research event that brings together mathematicians working in a current, active, and relevant areas of research. Junior researchers in these areas will particularly benefit from collaborative events where they are exposed to the most recent advances in the area, helping accelerate the pace of breakthrough in that field. More details about the workshops are available at https://awm-math.org/meetings/awm-jmm/ and https://awm-math.org/meetings/awm-siam/This 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.
