This award will support undergraduate participants of the Texas Undergraduate Mathematics Conference (TUMC) which will be hosted on November 2-3, 2018 by Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas. In fall 2019, TUMC will be hosted by the University of Texas at Tyler. The conference focus is on research done by undergraduate students or in conjunction with undergraduates. This conference offers undergraduates the opportunity to see the research being done by their peers and to start the transition into the larger community of mathematical research. Now in its 15th year, the Texas Undergraduate Mathematics Conference (TUMC) seeks to provide students with a forum to present their work, to discover research opportunities, and to learn more about graduate school and non-academic careers in mathematics. Conference attendees often come from groups that are underrepresented at research conferences: TUMC recruits many students from community colleges, Hispanic serving institutions, historically black colleges and universities, and institutions having at least 40% first generation college students. As part of this vital link between underserved undergraduate students and the mathematical research community, TUMC will be run without any associated cost for undergraduate participants. This support is meant to increase participation from institutions with limited resources, such as community colleges. The Executive Committee for TUMC will also expand their efforts in collecting demographic information to include information about the research activities of student and faculty participants. In particular, they will investigate the ways in which the uptake of research activities occurs in the year after attending TUMC. Additional information about the conference can be found on the website: http://sections.maa.org/texas/tumc/.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.

该奖项将支持德克萨斯大学本科数学会议（TUMC）的本科参与者，该会议将于2018年11月2日至3日由德克萨斯州纳科格多奇斯的Stephen F. Austin State University举办。在2019年秋季，TUMC将由德克萨斯大学泰勒分校主持。会议重点是本科生或与本科生一起进行的研究。这次会议提供了本科生的机会，可以看到他们的同龄人进行的研究并开始过渡到更大的数学研究社区。现在已经是第15年了，得克萨斯州的本科数学会议（TUMC）旨在为学生提供一个论坛，以介绍他们的工作，发现研究机会，并更多地了解研究生院和数学领域的非学术职业。会议参与者通常来自研究会议上人数不足的团体：TUMC招募了许多社区大学，西班牙裔服务机构，历史上的黑人学院和大学以及拥有至少40％第一代大学生的机构。作为服务不足的本科生和数学研究社区之间的重要联系的一部分，TUMC将不得参加本科参与者的任何相关费用。这种支持旨在增加具有有限资源（例如社区大学）的机构的参与。 TUMC执行委员会还将扩大他们在收集人口统计信息方面的努力，以包括有关学生和教师参与者的研究活动的信息。特别是，他们将研究参加TUMC后一年的研究活动的吸收方式。有关会议的其他信息可以在网站上找到：http：//sections.maa.org/texas/tumc/.tumc/.this奖反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛影响的审查标准通过评估来获得支持的。
