AWM ADVANCE Grant for Research Networks for WomenThe Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) has received a five-year, US$750,000 ADVANCE grant for re-search networks for women in mathematics. Workshops at the annual Joint Mathematics Meetings and SIAM Meetings will bring together women from one of the Research Col-laboration Networks to showcase their work and encour-age continued collaboration and mentoring. AWM will also organize biennial Research Symposia, with high-profile plenary speakers and special sessions in research areas linked to the Research Collaboration Networks. Proposals for new Research Networks for Women may be submit-ted to Magnhild Lien by July 1. For more information see awmadvance.org.

Most Research Collaboration Networks for Women conferences so far have taken place at Banff International Research Station.
