This award supports the 6th Biennial Women-in-Theory Workshop at Harvard University in June 2018. The intended audience of the workshop is graduate students in the field of theoretical computer science (TCS). Motivated by the low overall number of female faculty members, researchers, and students in TCS world wide, the workshop has two goals. The first is to deliver an invigorating educational program to the student participants by inviting leading female researchers to present tutorials of their research topics. The second is to provide an outstanding opportunity to bring together women students from different institutions across the country and internationally, so as to foster a sense of kinship and camaraderie, and to provide access to role models in this area by having senior and junior faculty members and industrial researchers present. The format of this workshop consists of technical tutorials, a non-technical talk, a student rump session, and a panel discussion, following the model of the first five workshops in this series. The first five Women-in-Theory workshops were greeted with great enthusiasm both from the participants and from the TCS research community at large. Since the first workshop in 2008, the organizers have received overwhelmingly positive feedback and many participants have matured to be successful researchers. These serve as testimonials that the workshop is accomplishing its primary goal of helping women become more successful in TCS.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.

该奖项支持 2018 年 6 月在哈佛大学举办的第六届两年一度的女性理论研讨会。研讨会的目标受众是理论计算机科学 (TCS) 领域的研究生。由于全球 TCS 中女性教员、研究人员和学生的总体数量较少，该研讨会有两个目标。首先是通过邀请领先的女性研究人员介绍其研究主题的教程，为学生参与者提供充满活力的教育计划。第二是提供一个绝佳的机会，将来自全国和国际不同机构的女学生聚集在一起，以培养亲情和友情，并通过高级和初级教师提供接触该领域榜样的机会和工业研究人员出席。 本次研讨会的形式包括技术教程、非技术讲座、学生会议和小组讨论，遵循本系列前五个研讨会的模式。前五场女性理论研讨会受到了参与者和整个 TCS 研究界的极大热情。自 2008 年第一届研讨会以来，组织者收到了压倒性的积极反馈，许多参与者已经成长为成功的研究人员。这些证明研讨会正在实现其帮助女性在 TCS 领域取得更大成功的主要目标。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。
