This National Science Foundation award supports the fourth and fifth in the previously funded, successful series of Central States Mathematics Undergraduate Research (CeSMUR) conferences that will take place on April 20-21, 2018 in Lincoln, Nebraska, and in spring 2019 in Manhattan, Kansas, respectively. Research experience is very helpful in both the graduate application process, and in placement in technically demanding jobs. The scientific activities and mentoring interactions at CeSMUR are designed to encourage undergraduate students who are already engaged in research, and to inspire others to begin. The conference is comprised of one and a half days. The format follows the one successfully tested in previous editions. Two main speakers each give a one-hour lecture, and there is ample time for undergraduate student speakers to present their research. During the evening and lunch meetings students interact with the featured speakers and guest graduate students in attendance, and get advice on the next steps in their career. In addition to a commitment to increasing the number of highly trained STEM professionals, the conferences focus on increasing diversity in the mathematical workforce, via participation of first generation college students, females, and underrepresented minority groups. Further details regarding the 2018 CeSMUR conference can be found on the conference website: https://www.math.unl.edu/events/cesmur.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这项国家科学基金会奖在先前资助的一系列中央州数学本科研究（CESMUR）会议上支持第四和第五，该会议将于2018年4月20日至21日在内布拉斯加州的林肯和2019年春季在堪萨斯州的曼哈顿举行。研究经验在研究生申请过程以及在技术要求的工作中都非常有帮助。 CESMUR的科学活动和指导互动旨在鼓励已经从事研究并激发他人开始的本科生。会议由一半半天组成。该格式遵循以前版本成功测试的格式。每个主演讲者分别进行了一个小时的演讲，并且有足够的时间让本科生演讲者介绍他们的研究。在晚上和午餐会议上，学生与出席会议的演讲者和来宾研究生互动，并就职业生涯的下一步获得建议。除了承诺增加训练有素的STEM专业人员的数量外，会议还专注于通过第一代大学生，女性和代表性不足的少数群体的参与来增加数学劳动力的多样性。 有关2018年CESMUR会议的更多详细信息，请访问会议网站：https：//www.math.unl.edu/events/cesmur..this奖，反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准来通过评估来获得支持的。
