The Association for Women in Mathematics will continue the program ofawarding travel support for women mathematicians to attend domestic orforeign research conferences. The proposed level of funding will allowapproximately 75 grants, in amounts from $250 to $1,500, to be awardedover a three year period.Additional funds are requested to establish a pilot program of awardsto women mathematicians for travel, to work with particularindividuals in their research area for brief periods of time. Theproposed level of funding for these mentoring travel grants wouldallow three to six grants per year of $4000 each over a period of 3years.Both programs are intended to enhance the research capability and thevisibility of women mathematicians, to expand the influence of theirwork, and to increase their ability to inspire women at less advancedlevels to pursue (or continue) careers in mathematics, in thesciences, or in other fields requiring substantial mathematicaltraining. Both programs seek (directly or indirectly) to make thepresence of women at places where research is being reported or done anormal professional expectation, and to mitigate the persistantproblem of having too few women speakers at many mathematicalconferences. Both programs should be important tools for the retentionof women mathematicians in academic life. To assess the impact of thisprogram, and to see if there are ways the program could be improved, astudy will be taken of the effectiveness of past NSF grants to AWM fortravel grants.

女性数学家协会将继续为女数学家参加国内外研究会议提供旅费资助的计划。拟议的资金水平将在三年内提供大约 75 笔赠款，金额从 250 美元到 1,500 美元不等。需要额外资金来建立一个奖励女数学家旅行奖励的试点计划，以便与她们研究领域的特定个人一起工作短暂的一段时间。这些指导旅行补助金的拟议资助水平将允许在 3 年内每年提供 3 至 6 笔补助金，每次 4000 美元。这两个计划都旨在提高女性数学家的研究能力和知名度，扩大她们工作的影响力，并提高女性数学家的影响力。她们有能力激励处于较低水平的女性追求（或继续）数学、科学或其他需要大量数学培训的领域的职业。这两个项目都试图（直接或间接）使女性在报告或进行研究的地方的存在成为正常的职业期望，并缓解许多数学会议上女性发言者太少的长期问题。这两个项目都应该成为保留女性数学家留在学术生活中的重要工具。为了评估该计划的影响，并了解是否有可以改进该计划的方法，我们将研究 NSF 过去向 AWM 提供的旅行补助金的有效性。
