The Association for Women in Mathematics will administer the NSF-AWM Travel Grants Program for a three-year period beginning October 15, 2008. This program, which has run for the past twenty years, supports the travel of women mathematicians who wish to actively participate in domestic or international research conferences, as well as longer-term visits to work with a mentor. Funding is allocated competitively, and allows approximately one hundred and forty-five regular travel grants and twenty-five mentoring grants to be awarded over the three-year period. Most of the funding is intended to benefit mathematics research, but one fifth of the travel grants will fund mathematics researchers to participate in mathematics education research conferences and mathematics education researchers to travel to mathematics conferences.Data indicate that women's participation rates in conferences and mathematics workshops remain lower than their proportion in academic departments, especially at the junior ranks. By providing grants that draw women's attention to the benefits of sharing their knowledge and communicating their results, AWM is intervening positively to increase the role of women in the profession. Reports by an independent evaluator have confirmed that this program is reaching its target group of women with excellent training and serious research potential who do not have consistent access to resources enabling them to attend mathematics meetings. In addition, the mentoring grants have succeeded in starting many of the young women participants in fresh new research directions and have broadened their view of mathematical research careers. The mathematics education research track is beginning to be utilized by women at all stages of their careers and will advance the understanding of mathematics by education researchers and of education research by mathematicians. This communication between different communities has the potential of contributing constructively to the ongoing dialogue about the learning of mathematics by girls and women.

数学女性协会将在2008年10月15日开始执行NSF-Awm Awm Travel Grants计划。该计划已在过去二十年中运行，该计划支持希望积极参与国内或国际研究会议的女性数学家旅行，以及与一位教师合作的长期访问。 资金是竞争性分配的，并允许在三年期间授予大约一百四十五个常规的旅行补助金和25个指导补助金。 大部分资金旨在使数学研究受益，但是五分之一的旅行资助将为数学研究人员提供资金，以参加数学教育研究会议和数学教育研究人员参加数学会议。DATA表明，妇女在会议和数学工作室中的参与率仍然低于其在学术上的较低等级，尤其是在学术部门中的排名，特别是在学业中，特别是在该学术部门中的排名，特别是在该学术部门的排名。通过提供吸引妇女注意分享知识和传达成果的好处的赠款，AWM正在介入积极地增加妇女在该行业中的作用。 独立评估者的报告已经确认，该计划正在与具有出色的培训和认真的研究潜力的妇女群体联系，她们无法始终获得资源，使他们能够参加数学会议。此外，指导补助金已经成功地开始了许多年轻女性参与者，并扩大了他们对数学研究职业的看法。妇女在职业生涯的各个阶段都开始使用数学教育研究轨道，并将通过教育研究人员和数学家的教育研究来提高对数学的理解。不同社区之间的这种沟通有潜力为关于女孩和妇女学习数学学习的持续对话。
