2. Affiliate Involvement
2.1 Background
The NISS Affiliates Program and NISS/SAMSI University Affiliates Program are the largest
programs of their kind among the DMS-funded mathematical sciences research institutes. NISS
director Alan Karr, associate director Nell Sedransk and assistant director Stanley Young have
major responsibility for operation of these programs. As a benefit of membership, NISS
Affiliates and NISS/SAMSI University Affiliates may receive reimbursement for expenses to
attend SAMSI workshops as well as NISS events. Through meetings and other activities, the
NISS Affiliates and NISS/SAMSI University Affiliates inform the development of SAMSI
programs.
