This project is to support the African Diaspora Joint Mathematics Workshops (ADJOINT) program whose goal is to strengthen the mathematical sciences by facilitating research among African-American mathematicians as well as increasing their visibility and inclusion in the mathematical community. This program will host several extended workshops of small groups of mathematicians at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) in Berkeley, California during the summer of 2019. Each group will be predominantly made up of African-American researchers, will be led by an established African-American researcher and will include mathematicians at various stages in their careers. The goal of each workshop will be to develop and extend a focused research project. Funds will also be available for participants to further interact or travel to focused workshops in the 2019-20 academic year. Having core, productive and visible groups of African-American mathematicians in various mathematical fields will stimulate further participation by this community in these fields.Each of the groups will have an outline of possible research directions and problems before they arrive. This plan will be refined and implemented while participating in the workshop at MSRI and a plan to continue will be drawn up before the researchers leave. The participants will be made aware of future research programs at the NSF Mathematics Institutes and be encouraged to apply to appropriate programs as well as to organize Special Sessions at AMS or other meetings. While in residence at MSRI, the members of each group will also interact with students at the Graduate Summer Schools which are held at the Institute each summer as well as with the students in MSRI-UP, MSRI's long-running and successful REU program for students belonging to underrepresented populations. The presence of these role models will further enhance the experience of the graduate and undergraduate students. Concurrent residency of some of the groups will also allow for development of further tools to support research in this community.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.

该项目旨在支持非洲侨民联合数学研讨会 (ADJOINT) 计划，该计划的目标是通过促进非裔美国数学家的研究以及提高他们在数学界的知名度和包容性来加强数学科学。该计划将于 2019 年夏季在加利福尼亚州伯克利数学科学研究所 (MSRI) 举办数场由数学家小组组成的扩展研讨会。每个小组将主要由非裔美国研究人员组成，并由一位既定的专家领导。非裔美国研究员，并将包括处于职业生涯不同阶段的数学家。每个研讨会的目标都是开发和扩展一个重点研究项目。还将为参与者提供资金，以便他们在 2019-20 学年进一步互动或参加重点研讨会。在各个数学领域拥有由非裔美国数学家组成的核心、富有成效和可见的团体将刺激该社区在这些领域的进一步参与。每个团体在到达之前都会有一个可能的研究方向和问题的大纲。该计划将在参加 MSRI 研讨会时得到完善和实施，并在研究人员离开之前制定继续的计划。我们将让参与者了解 NSF 数学研究所未来的研究项目，并鼓励他们申请适当的项目以及在 AMS 或其他会议上组织特别会议。在 MSRI 居住期间，每个小组的成员还将与每年夏天在该研究所举办的研究生暑期学校的学生以及 MSRI-UP 的学生进行互动，MSRI-UP 是 MSRI 为学生提供的长期且成功的 REU 项目属于代表性不足的人群。这些榜样的存在将进一步增强研究生和本科生的经验。一些团体的同时驻留还将允许开发更多工具来支持该社区的研究。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
