Description: This project provides support for a U.S. delegation to an international conference in India, the"Haldane Centenary Conference on Human Genetics, Calcutta, India, December 1992". The five days meeting will mark the birth centenary of J.B.S. Haldane with the aims of: reviewing Haldane's contribution to the various areas of human population genetics, focusing especially on their impacts on current quantitative thinking; deliberating on recent advances in quantitative human genetics, evolution, population structure and genetic epidemiology; presenting applications of recent advances in theoretical aspects of human genetics; and, deliberating on some current issues concerning the interaction of genes and environment with a view to delineate some thrust areas that deserve immediate scientific attention of human geneticists. The meeting, which will be held at the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) in Calcutta, is expected to be attended by scientists from the U.K., Japan, the Netherland, Germany, Australia, Brazil and Canada in addition to the U.S. and India. Scope: This activity commemorates Haldane, a pioneer in the field of human genetics who established his reputation in England, before moving to India in the later part of his life, where he continued his work at the ISI in Calcutta. The ISI is considered one of the foremost centers in the world for training and research in statistics, both theoretical and applied, including biostatistics. The conference will have the effect of promoting biostatistic research in India especially in devising statistical methods for analyzing molecular genetic data on human populations and families. It should increase the awarness of the visiting scientists to the social structure of the endogamous populations of India, the environment they live in and the resulting spread of genes within the populations. Initiation of collaborative research proposals between Indian and scientists from outside India, especially in the quantitative aspects of human genetics, is likely to result.

描述：该项目为美国代表团提供支持 参加在印度举行的一个国际会议， 人类遗传学会议，印度加尔各答，1992年12月”。 为期5天的会议将纪念J.B.S.诞生一百周年。 目的是：审查哈勒尔对 人类遗传学的各个领域，重点是 特别是它们对当前定量思维的影响; 对人类定量遗传学的最新进展进行审议， 进化、种群结构和遗传流行病学; 介绍最新理论进展的应用 人类遗传学;以及，审议当前的一些问题 关于基因和环境的相互作用， 划定一些需要立即进行科学研究的重点领域， 人类遗传学家的注意 会议将于 在加尔各答的印度统计研究所， 预计将有来自英国的科学家参加，日本 除美国、德国、澳大利亚、巴西和加拿大外， 美国和印度。 范围：这项活动是为了纪念 他在人类遗传学领域建立了声誉， 在他晚年移居印度之前， 他在加尔各答的三军情报局继续工作 三军情报局 被认为是世界上最重要的训练中心之一 和统计学研究，包括理论和应用， 包括生物统计学。 会议将产生以下效果： 促进印度的生物统计研究，特别是在设计 人类分子遗传学数据的统计分析方法 人口和家庭。 它应该增加人们的意识， 拜访科学家们， 印度的人口，他们生活的环境， 从而导致基因在种群中的传播。 开始 印度和科学家之间的合作研究提案 从印度以外，特别是在数量方面， 人类基因，很可能会导致。
