This award supports the Young Mathematicians Conference (YMC) to be held at Ohio State University annually over a three year period. YMC provides a venue for undergraduate students to present and disseminate the results of their research, discuss mathematics with their peers and with senior researchers, and receive serious recognition of their achievements. Besides dissemination of undergraduate research activity in mathematics and facilitating exchange of ideas, another primary mission of YMC is to inspire and encourage students, particularly women and traditionally underrepresented groups, to pursue mathematics as a career. Each July, student researchers submit abstracts of their research projects, which are then judged and ranked by a panel of 40-70 faculty reviewers; the top ranked students, and their mentors, are invited to participate to YMC. The conference takes place during a weekend in August, from Friday noon until Sunday at noon. Besides the student talks (about 45, running in three parallel sessions) and a poster session, there are three plenary lectures delivered by world class mathematicians, aimed to introduce students to topics related to high impact, innovative research of current interest; videos of their talks are posted online. Representatives from about seven graduate schools introduce themselves and present their departments on Friday evening. A Graduate School Orientation event is held on Sunday morning where the Graduate Representatives answer the students' questions. Also on Sunday morning there is a Mentors' Breakfast where the mentors exchange ideas and information on undergraduate research. At all stages of preparation of the conference, the organizers seek advice, and then report back to the YMC Advisory Board.

该奖项支持每年在俄亥俄州立大学举办的青年数学家会议（YMC），为期三年。 YMC 为本科生提供了一个展示和传播其研究成果、与同龄人和高级研究人员讨论数学并获得对其成就的认真认可的场所。除了传播本科数学研究活动和促进思想交流之外，YMC 的另一个主要使命是激励和鼓励学生，特别是女性和传统上代表性不足的群体，将数学作为一种职业。每年 7 月，学生研究人员提交其研究项目的摘要，然后由 40-70 名教师评审员组成的小组进行评审和排名；排名靠前的学生及其导师将受邀参加 YMC。会议在八月的一个周末举行，从周五中午到周日中午。除了学生演讲（约45场，分三场平行进行）和海报展示之外，还有三场由世界一流数学家主讲的全体讲座，旨在向学生介绍与当前感兴趣的高影响力、创新性研究相关的主题；他们的谈话视频发布在网上。周五晚上，来自大约七所研究生院的代表进行自我介绍并介绍他们的院系。周日上午举行研究生院迎新活动，研究生代表回答学生的问题。周日早上还有导师早餐会，导师们可以在此交流本科生研究的想法和信息。在会议筹备的各个阶段，组织者都会征求建议，然后向YMC顾问委员会汇报。
