This award supports participation in the workshop "Advances in Mathematical and Theoretical Biology" held at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, March 17-19, 2023. The focus will be on modeling and analysis of mathematical models with different aspects of biological applications, such as infectious diseases, cancer and treatment, and population dynamics. The workshop will highlight significant recent developments in these areas and provide a forum for the participants to meet and communicate their recent work. The goals of the workshop are to: (1) to bring together leading researchers from different areas and backgrounds of mathematical and theoretical biology to communicate and exchange ideas; (2) study challenging health problems, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, cancer modeling and treatment, emerging diseases, etc.; (3) expose younger researchers (undergraduate/graduate students and postdocs) to the latest developments in these areas; and (4) broaden and stimulate the education and research of young, female, and underrepresented researchers. Mathematical and theoretical biology is an interdisciplinary field that uses tools from analytical and numerical mathematics to address questions related to biology. The recent two decades have witnessed tremendous growth in this area, and emerging questions from biology have brought forward new and exciting mathematical questions. This workshop will bring together researchers from different mathematical areas at several academic career stages, facilitating the initiation of collaborative research among the attendees. The workshop will feature six plenary speakers from the USA, Canada, France, and Mexico and forty invited speakers ranging from senior level researchers to early-career researchers and students. A poster session will promote undergraduate and graduate research. By bringing together a new generation of researchers along with established experts, the workshop aims to cultivate new collaborations and networks that can help junior researchers as they advance their careers.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.

该奖项支持参加在纳什维尔范德比尔特大学（Vanderbilt University），2023年3月17日至19日在纳什维尔大学举行的“数学和理论生物学进步”研讨会上。重点将放在对具有不同方面应用的数学模型的建模和分析，例如感染性疾病，癌症和治疗以及人群动态。该研讨会将重点介绍这些领域的最新发展，并为参与者提供一个论坛，以见面并交流他们的最新工作。研讨会的目标是：（1）将来自数学和理论生物学不同领域和背景的领先研究人员汇集在一起​​，以交流和交流思想； （2）研究挑战健康问题，例如COVID-19大流行，癌症建模和治疗，新兴疾病等； （3）将年轻的研究人员（本科/研究生和博士后）暴露于这些领域的最新发展； （4）扩大和刺激年轻，女性和代表性不足的研究人员的教育和研究。 数学和理论生物学是一个跨学科领域，它使用分析和数值数学的工具来解决与生物学有关的问题。最近的二十年来，这一领域已经有了巨大的增长，生物学的新兴问题提出了新的令人兴奋的数学问题。该研讨会将在几个学术职业阶段将来自不同数学领域的研究人员聚集在一起，从而促进了与会者之间的协作研究。该研讨会将包括来自美国，加拿大，法国和墨西哥的六位全体会议者，以及从高级研究人员到早期研究人员和学生的40名受邀演讲者。海报会议将促进本科和研究生研究。通过将新一代研究人员与知名专家汇集在一起​​，该研讨会旨在培养新的合作和网络，可以帮助初级研究人员提高职业生涯。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审查标准来通过评估来通过评估来提供支持的。
