Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The mission of the Sylvia Bozeman and Rhonda Hughes EDGE Foundation is to strengthen the ability of female students to successfully complete graduate programs in the mathematical sciences. In addition to a summer program for entering graduate students, the EDGE Foundation provides ongoing support for women pursuing careers in the mathematical sciences at several critical stages of their careers.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The EDGE Foundation supports programs whose goal is to strengthen the ability of women students to successfully complete PhD programs in the mathematical sciences and to place more women and underrepresented minorities in visible leadership roles in the mathematical sciences.

The EDGE SUMMER PROGRAM. The EDGE Summer Program is an intensive immersion experience where a cohort of new graduate students, plus three graduate mentors, five faculty, a difficult dialogues facilitator and guest speakers work together to provide a secure academic foundation and supportive network for the next years of graduate school. The 2025 EDGE Summer Program was hosted in June 2025 at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Most expenses were paid before July 1, 2025, such as travel and stipends.

Expenses $148,155 · Grants $96,150
The Karen EDGE Fellowship In May 2019, the EDGE Foundation received a one-time contribution from Karen Uhlenbeck, winner of the 2019 Abel prize. With this contribution, the EDGE Foundation established the Karen EDGE Fellowship, which supports mid-career mathematicians in the United States from groups traditionally underrepresented at research institutions in the mathematical sciences. The Fellowship promotes the research productivity and visibility of these mathematicians, providing grants to each Fellow over three years.

Expenses $16,518 · Grants $8,000
Interdisciplinary Research Laboratory in Mathematical Biology. The program is designed to expose advanced graduate students/postdocs in the mathematical sciences to interdisciplinary work in a lab. Through this opportunity, participants learn about a new interdisciplinary research project and potentially start new research collaborations. Participants and mentors engaged in workshops together to promote best collaborative practices. Then, research pairs worked together in person or virtually for one week to kickstart a new research collaboration. In this fiscal year, the research pairs continued their collaborations, and the program leaders created workshop materials for future installations of the project.

Expenses $3,379 · Grants $3,000
Mary Beth Ruskai Fund. This fund was launched as a result of a bequest received in January 2023. Every year, two grants of $5,000 are awarded for a 12-month grant period for professionals in the mathematical sciences to advance their research careers through travel, collaboration, or other activities. The scope of these grants reflects Mary Beth Ruskai's commitment to women and to interdisciplinary work.

Expenses $1,574
The EDGE Foundation provided Mathematically Gifted and Black with $5,100 to support rising leaders in the mathematical sciences.

Expenses $5,100
Institute for Broadening Participation Transaction. The EDGE Foundation contributed $35 to support the organization's mission to increase diversity in the STEM workforce.

Expenses $35 · Grants $35

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
