The funding requested for this project will support the participation of U.S. based junior faculty and graduate students in a conference whose general theme will be on the theory, modeling, and analysis of the temporal dynamics of biological populations. Mathematical modeling and analysis can be used to give insight and better understand the dynamics of biological populations. Mathematical models are built on trade-offs between biological accuracy and mathematical tractability. Of particular importance are the effects on a population's dynamics of modeling assumptions concerning spatial or temporal heterogeneities or concerning heterogeneities among the characteristics of individuals within the population and how these characteristics affect the way they interact with their environment. The invited speakers will address a wide variety of theoretical issues, applications (ecological, epidemiological, etc.), and case studies that illustrate the connection of models with data. This meeting will develop understanding in new directions for the area of mathematical population biology that will have significant influence in years to come and will be of particular benefit for the young participants in this conference.

要求该项目的资金将支持美国的初级教职员工和研究生的参与，该会议的一般主题将涉及生物种群时间动态的理论，建模和分析。数学建模和分析可用于提供洞察力，更好地了解生物种群的动态。数学模型建立在生物准确性和数学障碍性之间的权衡基础上。特别重要的是对人群建模假设的动态的影响，或者是关于空间或时间异质性的，或者是关于人群中个体特征之间异质性以及这些特征如何影响他们与环境相互作用的方式的影响。受邀演讲者将解决各种理论问题，应用程序（生态，流行病学等）和案例研究，以说明模型与数据的联系。这次会议将对数学人群生物学领域的新方向发展理解，这些方向将在未来几年中产生重大影响，这对本次会议的年轻参与者将特别有益。
