The NSF/CBMS series of Regional Research Conferences in the Mathematical Sciences is an ongoing project administered by the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences (CBMS) and supported continuously by NSF for the past 41 years. Each conference features a distinguished lecturer who delivers a sequence of ten lectures on a topic of important current research in one sharply focused area of the mathematical sciences. This award to the American Mathematical Society, with subcontract to CBMS, supports CBMS in its efforts to publicize conferences and administer the resulting publications, fostering greater dissemination of material related to cutting edge-topics and increasing the impact of the conferences in the community. The individual conferences are supported on separate NSF awards to host institutions.The purpose of the NSF/CBMS conference series is to promote research in areas of the mathematical sciences which have recently seen significant new results and which hold promise for continued significant development. A conference achieves that purpose by having the principal lecturer, who is both a major researcher in the area of the conference and a good expositor, deliver 10 lectures over a five day period to the participants. The lectures typically cover the recent development of the field and chart the possible new directions and open problems. Thus the format of the conferences is primarily educational, but at the research level. Approximately one-half of the participants at these conferences are graduate students and postdocs and the conferences give them a good perspective on both the current research and the interesting open problems in an important area of the mathematical sciences. The lecturer promises to prepare a substantial expository monograph based upon his or her lectures. The resulting monograph reaches a broader audience and provides an introduction to readers who wish to begin research in the field. Moreover, the conferences are typically held at institutions that are not yet among the top research institutions, but which are interested in enhancing their local research activity.

NSF/CBMS 系列数学科学区域研究会议是一个由数学科学联合会 (CBMS) 管理的持续项目，并在过去 41 年中得到 NSF 的持续支持。每次会议都有一位杰出的讲师就数学科学的一个重点领域的当前重要研究主题发表一系列十场讲座。 该奖项授予美国数学会，并分包给 CBMS，支持 CBMS 宣传会议和管理由此产生的出版物的努力，促进与前沿主题相关的材料的更大传播，并提高会议在社区中的影响力。 NSF/CBMS 会议系列的目的是促进数学科学领域的研究，这些领域最近取得了重大的新成果，并有望持续取得重大发展。会议通过让首席讲师（既是会议领域的主要研究者，又是优秀的讲解员）在五天内向与会者发表 10 场讲座来实现这一目的。讲座通常涵盖该领域的最新发展，并列出可能的新方向和未解决的问题。因此，会议的形式主要是教育性的，但处于研究层面。这些会议的参与者中大约有一半是研究生和博士后，这些会议让他们对数学科学重要领域的当前研究和有趣的开放问题有一个很好的视角。讲师承诺根据他或她的讲座准备一本实质性的说明性专着。 由此产生的专着吸引了更广泛的读者，并向希望开始该领域研究的读者提供了介绍。此外，会议通常在尚未跻身顶级研究机构之列、但有兴趣加强当地研究活动的机构举行。
