To support participation in the Mathematical Congress of the Americas (MCA), to be held July 19 – 24, 2021 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the American Mathematical Society (AMS) will administer a travel-grant program for mathematicians based in the United States (US)—those who are students or faculty in US institutions or employees of US organizations or companies. The Society will strive to draw a robust and diverse applicant pool by utilizing its infrastructure of communications and its connectivity in the mathematical community, and it will work to ensure that mathematicians from groups historically underrepresented in STEM areas receive particular attention. In the selection process, AMS expects to give priority to early-career applicants. MCA is a quadrennial gathering, initiated in 2013, with the goal "to internationally highlight the excellence of mathematical achievements in the Americas and foster collaborations among researchers, students, institutions, and mathematical societies in the Americas." The conference is administered by the Mathematical Council of the Americas, a network of over twenty societies, institutes, and agencies throughout North America, South America, Central America, and the Caribbean nations. This third Congress will draw top-tier mathematicians from around the Western Hemisphere and the rest of the world. It will provide an excellent opportunity for exchange of ideas in a broad array of mathematical areas and for the US to be well represented in the international arena. The US sustains its highly-regarded research endeavor, in part, by fostering the participation of its citizens in international conferences. MCA presents an excellent opportunity for such participation, both by established researchers as well as those who will become the research leaders of the future. Those traveling to Buenos Aires will be able to share in person the results of their research and garner new ideas from their counterparts from across the Americas, thereby enriching the hemispheric and worldwide endeavor of mathematical discovery. The organizers of MCA 2021 anticipate approximately one thousand attendees from around the Western Hemisphere and the rest of the world. The six plenary speakers are Ian Agol (University of California, Berkeley, USA), Julia Chuzhoy (Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago, USA), Carlos Kenig (University of Chicago, USA), Allan Sly (Princeton University, USA), Claire Voisin (Collège de France, France), and Miguel Walsh (Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina). Twenty-two Invited Speakers represent such topical areas as algebraic geometry, analysis, probability, ergodic theory, differential geometry, partial differential equations, relativity and gravitation, numerical analysis, graph theory and combinatorics, applied computational analysis, complex analytic geometry, dynamical systems, Riemann manifolds, algebraic topology, geometry, stochastic calculus, fractal geometry, number theory, model theory, statistical mechanics, and neuroscience. The conference will include a wide array of special session topics, and it is anticipated that the schedule will include multiple panel and poster sessions as well as social and cultural events. The MCA is also the occasion for awarding the MCA Prize, the Americas Prize, and the Solomon Lefschetz Medals. The Congress presents a splendid opportunity for early-career mathematicians to share their knowledge, garner new ideas, and interact with counterparts and luminaries on the international stage. Current information about MCA 2021 is at www.mca2021.org, and the AMS travel grant program is detailed at https://www.ams.org/programs/travel-grants/mca.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.

为了支持参加将于 2021 年 7 月 19 日至 24 日在阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯举行的美洲数学大会 (MCA)，美国数学会 (AMS) 将为美国数学家实施一项旅费资助计划（美国）——美国机构的学生或教师或美国组织或公司的雇员，协会将利用其通信基础设施及其在数学领域的连通性，努力吸引强大且多样化的申请者群体。 MCA 是一个四年一度的聚会，于 2013 年启动，其目标是在选拔过程中优先考虑 STEM 领域中代表性不足的群体的数学家。 “在国际上突出美洲数学成就，并促进美洲研究人员、学生、机构和数学协会之间的合作。该会议由美洲数学委员会管理，该委员会是一个由美洲数学委员会组成的网络。”北美、南美、中美洲和加勒比国家的二十多个学会、研究所和机构将吸引来自西半球和世界其他地区的顶尖数学家参加。促进广泛数学领域的思想交流，并让美国在国际舞台上得到充分体现 美国通过促进其公民参与国际会议来维持其备受推崇的研究工作。对于这样的人来说是一个绝佳的机会知名研究人员以及未来研究领导者的参与，前往布宜诺斯艾利斯的人们将能够亲自分享他们的研究成果，并从美洲各地的盟友那里获得新的想法。丰富西半球和全球范围内的数学发现事业美国）、Julia Chuzhoy（美国芝加哥丰田技术学院）、Carlos Kenig（美国芝加哥大学）、Allan Sly（美国普林斯顿大学）、Claire Voisin（法国法兰西学院）和 Miguel Walsh（法国大学）美国芝加哥），阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯），二十二位特邀演讲者代表了代数几何、分析、概率、遍历理论、微分几何、偏微分等主题领域。方程、相对论和万有引力、数值分析、图论和组合学、应用计算分析、复解析几何、动力系统、黎曼流形、代数拓扑、几何、随机微积分、分形几何、数论、模型论、统计力学和神经科学会议将包括广泛的特别会议主题，预计日程安排将包括多个小组和海报会议以及社会和文化活动。授予 MCA 奖、美洲奖和所罗门·莱夫谢茨奖章 大会为职业生涯早期的数学家提供了一个绝佳的机会，让他们在国际舞台上分享知识、吸引新思想并与学界人士和杰出人物互动。 2021 年详情请访问 www.mca2021.org，AMS 旅行补助计划详情请参见 https://www.ams.org/programs/travel-grants/mca。该奖项反映了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，NSF 的法定使命被认为值得支持。
