Cultivating diversity and broadening participation of historically underrepresented groups in the mathematical sciences are national goals that are essential components of the innovation engine that drives the nation?s economy. It is a complex problem to solve, and doing so requires a concerted effort. The Mathematical Sciences Institutes Diversity Initiative (MSIDI) is an ongoing collaboration among the NSF-funded mathematical sciences research institutes that aims to address this issue with a series of events targeting members of historically underrepresented groups in the mathematical sciences, including women of all ethnicities. There is no ?one size fits all? approach to increasing participation from underrepresented groups. In this specific project, MSIDI partners with a team of mathematicians from underrepresented groups to enhance several conferences and workshops that aim to address this underrepresentation. These special conferences and workshops are complementary to the core activities of the mathematical sciences research institutes and are important for the goal of increasing participation in key activities that are integral to a career in the mathematical sciences, as well as to core programs at the associated research institutes. Under this project, MSIDI will organize the following events. The Modern Mathematics Workshop will be a pre-conference event at SACNAS in Fall 2020 and planning will be led by the Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM). The Blackwell-Tapia Conference will be in Durham, NC in Fall 2020 and planning will be led by the Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute (SAMSI). The Latinx in the Mathematical Sciences Conference will be in Los Angeles, CA in Spring 2021 and planning will be led by the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM). There will be another Modern Mathematics Workshop at SACNAS in Fall 2021and planning will be led by the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI). And Spring Opportunities will be in Princeton, NJ in Spring 2022 and planning will be led by the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS). Details about these events can be found at https://mathinstitutes.org/diversity/Modern Mathematics Workshops focus on contemporary research in mathematics and take place in conjunction with the national meeting of the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS). These workshops are for mathematicians at all levels and include some special programming for undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers. The Blackwell-Tapia Conference includes a mix of activities designed to inform the next generation of mathematicians about career opportunities in the mathematical sciences and provide a chance for them to network with mathematical scientists who play a leadership role in their communities. During this conference the prestigious Blackwell-Tapia Prize is awarded. This prize recognizes a mathematician who has contributed significantly to research and to addressing the problem of underrepresentation of minorities in the mathematical sciences. The Latinx in the Mathematical Sciences Conference showcases the research contributions and achievements of Latinx mathematicians and includes activities for high school students, undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty. The Spring Opportunities Workshop allows attendees to explore what it takes to thrive in a variety of mathematical careers. Collectively, the goals of these MSIDI activities are to recognize and showcase the research of mathematicians from underrepresented minority groups; disseminate successful efforts to address underrepresentation; inform students and early career mathematicians about career opportunities in the mathematical sciences; build a community around shared interests related to the problem of underrepresentation; and provide networking and development opportunities for current and future mathematicians at all points in the career trajectory.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.

培养多样性并扩大历史上代表性不足的群体在数学科学中的参与是国家目标，它们是驱动全国经济的创新引擎的重要组成部分。解决这是一个复杂的问题，这样做需要一致的努力。 数学科学机构多样性倡议（MSIDI）是NSF资助的数学科学研究机构之间的持续合作，旨在通过针对数学科学中历史上代表性不足的群体的成员（包括所有族裔女性）的一系列事件来解决这一问题。没有什么？增加代表性不足的群体参与的方法。 在这个特定项目中，MSIDI与来自代表性不足的小组的数学家团队合作，以增强旨在解决这种代表性不足的几个会议和讲习班。 这些特殊的会议和讲习班与数学科学研究机构的核心活动相辅相成，对于增加参与数学科学职业不可或缺的关键活动的目的是重要的，以及相关研究机构的核心计划。 在此项目下，MSIDI将组织以下事件。 现代数学研讨会将是2020年秋季SACNAS举行的会议前活动，计划将由数学计算与实验研究所（ICERM）领导。 Blackwell-Tapia会议将于2020年秋季在北卡罗来纳州达勒姆市举行，计划将由统计和应用数学科学研究所（SAMSI）领导。 数学科学会议中的拉丁裔将于2021年春季在加利福尼亚州洛杉矶举行，计划将由纯数学研究所（IPAM）领导。 2021年秋季SACNAS将有另一个现代数学研讨会，并将由数学科学研究所（MSRI）领导。 春季机会将在2022年春季在新泽西州普林斯顿市举行，计划将由高级研究所（IAS）领导。 有关这些事件的详细信息，请参见https://mathinstitutes.org/diversity/modern Mathematics研讨会，重点是当代数学研究，并与美国芝加哥和美国原住民美国原住民促进学会和科学学院（SACNAS）共同进行。 这些研讨会适用于各个级别的数学家，包括一些针对本科生，研究生和博士后研究人员的特殊编程。 Blackwell-Tapia会议包括一系列活动，旨在将数学科学中的职业机会告知下一代数学家，并为他们提供与在社区中发挥领导作用的数学科学家建立联系的机会。在本次会议上，享有声望的Blackwell-Tapia奖获得了授予。 该奖项认可了一位数学家，他为研究和解决数学科学少数群体的代表性不足做出了重大贡献。 数学科学会议的拉丁裔展示了拉丁人数学家的研究贡献和成就，并包括针对高中生，本科生，研究生，博士后研究人员和教职员工的活动。 春季机会研讨会使与会者能够探索在各种数学职业中蓬勃发展所需的事情。 总的来说，这些MSIDI活动的目标是认识并展示代表性不足的少数群体的数学家研究；传播成功代表不足的成功努力；告知学生和早期的数学家数学科学的职业机会；建立一个与代表性不足有关的共同利益建立社区；并在职业轨迹中的各个方面为当前和未来的数学家提供网络和发展机会。该奖项反映了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影响评估标准来通过评估来支持的。
