Impact on Research Perhaps their most important contribution has been that the U.S. mathematical sciences research institutes provide an especially favorable atmosphere for high-level mathematical sciences researchers to focus with considerable concentration on their investigations.

increasingly, mathematical institutes are providing a bridge linking academic mathematical scientists and industries keen on finding new mathematical tools for their work. For instance, the industrial postdoctoral research fellow positions developed by the Institute for Mathematics and Its Applications have given considerable encouragement to mathematical areas that are directly applicable to industry and have also heightened recognition in the marketplace of 10

Beyond benefiting the mathematical sciences and the community of mathematical scientists, mathematical research institutes benefit industry and commerce through the aforementioned industrial postdoctoral programs and workshops on applications of the 11

Indeed, some of today's institutes consist of a roughly equal mix of mathematical scientists and physicists. Finally, some mathematical research institutes have commenced activities to make the results of research in the mathematical sciences more accessible to the general public.

A successful program at such an institute can have an impact on an entire mathematical field by setting common standards and establishing research agendas, thereby communicating beyond the leading centers of research an understanding of what is difficult, what is key, and what is exciting. The broadly based institutes strongly emphasize innovation and provide a national forum for research on both core mathematics and mathematical sciences areas at the interface of fields beyond a discipline's traditional boundaries.
