Outstanding Graduate Research Exposition Award
The ISMAA invites submissions for the 2026 Outstanding Graduate Research Exposition (OGRE) Awards. These awards are designed for graduating or near graduating graduate students in mathematics who have an interest in academic careers at undergraduate teaching-oriented institutions.

The statement should include:
- A statement about the context of the research, including a description of where the research fits into the greater "big-picture" in the particular sub-discipline
- A description of the research results and any necessary background content to make the research accessible to undergraduate students and non-experts in the particular area of mathematics
- A description of potential undergraduate research projects related to the research topic, which the candidate would be interested in mentoring
The written statement should be submitted as a PDF file by Friday, March 13, 2026 to the Awards Committee Chair, Jeanette Mokry, at jolli@dom.edu. Please include "OGRE Awards" in the subject heading.
Applicants should also make arrangements to give a talk in the student session of the 2026 Annual Meeting on March 27-28.
