This award supports continuation of the Enhancing Diversity in Graduate Education (EDGE) program. The proportion of women, especially underrepresented minority women, in the mathematical sciences declines at each successive academic level. In response to this problem, the EDGE Program is designed (1) to increase the number of women PhDs in the mathematical sciences, especially those from underrepresented groups; and (2) to place more women in visible leadership roles in the mathematics community. The EDGE Program seeks to achieve these goals by providing a comprehensive mentoring program that supports the academic development and research activities of women in mathematics. The proposed activities target women in four different groups: new PhD students, advanced PhD students, postdocs, and junior faculty. Along with an annual summer session, EDGE supports an annual conference, travel for research collaborations, travel to present research, and other open-ended mentoring activities for each targeted participant group. This project aims to impact the mathematics community by increasing the number of women, particularly from minority groups, who succeed in graduate programs in the mathematical sciences; who assume leadership roles in academia, industry, and government; and who ultimately diversify the mathematical community and provide a sustainable increase in the pool of available "home-grown" talent. Increased diversity in the mathematics community will ultimately strengthen U.S. competitiveness in mathematics and science and allow people from all backgrounds and cultures to thrive, advance, and contribute to the profession. Reducing the gender and racial disparities among faculty in the mathematical sciences will facilitate national efforts to increase the diversity of students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs in mathematics.

该奖项支持延续研究生教育（EDGE）计划的增强多样性。 在数学科学中，女性，尤其是代表性不足的少数族裔妇女的比例在每个连续的学术水平下都在下降。 为了应对这个问题，设计了边缘计划（1）以增加数学科学中女性博士学位的数量，尤其是来自代表性不足群体的女性博士学位； （2）将更多妇女置于数学社区中可见的领导角色。 Edge计划旨在通过提供一项全面的指导计划来实现这些目标，以支持女性在数学领域的学术发展和研究活动。 拟议的活动针对四个不同群体的女性：新的博士生，高级博士生，博士后和初级教师。 除了年度夏季会议外，Edge还支持年度会议，进行研究合作的旅行，进行研究的旅行以及每个目标参与者组的其他开放式指导活动。 该项目旨在通过增加女性的数量，特别是来自少数群体的妇女人数来影响数学社区，这些女性在数学科学领域取得了成功；在学术界，工业和政府中担任领导角色的人；谁最终使数学社区多样化，并在可用的“本地”人才库中提供可持续的增长。 数学社区的多样性提高将最终增强美国在数学和科学方面的竞争力，并允许各种背景和文化的人们蓬勃发展，进步和为该职业做出贡献。 减少数学科学教师之间的性别和种族差异将有助于增加国家数学本科和研究生课程的学生多样性的努力。
