"NIMBioS: Overview of a Nurturing Environment for Mathematical Biology 2008-2021"
The National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Science (NIMBioS) was a Synthesis Center supported by the US National Science Foundation. Our activities included an emphasis on developing collaborative research teams, an expansive program of innovative workshops and tutorials, support for many graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, a broad range of educational activities at every level, expanding the diversity of researchers working at the math biology interface and an explicit emphasis on evaluation of our activities to assess their success. This poster summarizes some of the efforts of which we are most proud including: Innovative, productive interdisciplinary research; Transparency and evaluation emphasized throughout all activities; Over 250 Education and Outreach activities across many levels from K-12 through postdoctoral; A vision and explicit benchmarks for diversity; Consistency of leadership and staff; and a Sustainability plan based upon building new major centers.
