The Rice University Summer Institute of Statistics (RUSIS) will train and mentor 12 selected junior and senior underrepresented minority students, and students with no easy access to a career experience at their institution. The underlying motivation for the Institute is the fundamental interest in attracting more underrepresented minority students into graduate work in the Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, and facilitating their transition into research work. These objectives will be accomplished through the following mechanisms:-Intensive core courses in probability, stochastic processes, and statistical inference, with special emphasis on areas of current interest. (e.g. multiple comparisons, extreme value theory, multivariate survival analysis, statistical genetics, and massive data methodologies). -Engaging the students in research projects under close collaboration with faculty mentors, with the goal of producing joint publications. Students will be mentored in the preparation of their work for presentation in national meetings.- Short courses on the use of Unix platforms, latex, and software to be utilized for research purposes such as Mathematica and Splus.-Visits to scientific facilities (e.g., Biomathematics and Biostatistics Departments at MD Anderson Cancer Center, NASA, Shell Oil) will be organized, and a series of lectures, by a variety of scientists, which are part of an AGEP funded program, will be attended. These lectures cover a variety of topics ranging from applying to Graduate School to career experiences by outstanding scientists.-Evaluation and monitoring of the progress of students for seven years (expected time for them to finish graduate school) after their participation; annual evaluation of the program by the participating students and an external advisory committee.RUSIS is a 10-week summer program. Students with a mathematical background that includes three semesters of calculus, and one semester of linear algebra or matrix analysis, should contact the PI Javier Rojo (email: [e-mail] 713-348-2797) or Theresa Chatman ([e-mail] 713-348-5180).

莱斯大学夏季统计研究所（RUSIS）将培训和指导12名选定的初级和高级代表性不足的少数民族学生，以及在他们的机构难以获得职业经验的学生。该研究所的根本动机是吸引更多代表性不足的少数民族学生进入数学和统计科学研究生工作，并促进他们过渡到研究工作的根本利益。这些目标将通过以下机制来实现：-概率，随机过程和统计推断的密集核心课程，特别强调当前感兴趣的领域。(e.g.多重比较、极值理论、多变量生存分析、统计遗传学和海量数据方法论）。- 在与教师导师密切合作下，让学生参与研究项目，目标是制作联合出版物。学生将在他们的工作在全国会议上介绍准备辅导。关于使用Unix平台，乳胶和用于研究目的的软件（如Mathematica和Splus）的短期课程。参观科学设施（例如，将组织MD安德森癌症中心生物数学和生物统计学部门、美国宇航局、壳牌石油公司），并将参加由各种科学家举办的一系列讲座，这些讲座是AGEP资助计划的一部分。这些讲座涵盖了各种主题，从申请研究生院到杰出科学家的职业经历。在学生参加后的七年内（预计完成研究生学业的时间）对学生的进步进行评估和监督;由参加学生和外部咨询委员会对该计划进行年度评估。RUSIS是一个为期10周的夏季计划。具有数学背景的学生，包括三个学期的微积分，一个学期的线性代数或矩阵分析，应联系PI哈维尔·罗霍（电子邮件：[e-mail] 713-348-2797）或特蕾莎·查特曼（[e-mail] 713-348-5180）。
