This award will help support he annual Summer Institute in Statistical Genetics. Tuition and travel scholarships are provided for 30 students. The Institute offers a series of 18 three-day workshops on a wide variety of topics in statistical genetics. The intellectual merit of the Summer Institute in Statistical Genetics lies in the dissemination of current methods of statistical analysis to population biologists and to population and quantitative geneticists, and to the explanation of issues in current population biology, and population and quantitative genetics to statisticians. The workshops are taught by leaders in the field, many of whom have developed the theories being taught and have written the standard textbooks in those areas.The broader impact of the Summer Institute in Statistical Genetics lies in the increased awareness among biologists for the power of modern statistical methodology. This proposal is aimed at exposing students in population biology, and population and quantitative genetics to the need for sound statistical analyses of their data, and providing them with the tools for those analyses. The Institute also raises awareness among statisticians about the opportunities for research in population biology, and population and quantitative genetics.

该奖项将有助于支持他在统计遗传学的年度暑期研究所。为30名学生提供学费和旅行奖学金。该研究所提供了一系列18个为期三天的讲习班，涉及统计遗传学的各种主题。统计遗传学暑期研究所的智力价值在于向人口生物学家和人口与数量遗传学家传播当前的统计分析方法，并向统计学家解释当前人口生物学和人口与数量遗传学中的问题。该研讨会由该领域的领导者授课，其中许多人已经发展了所教授的理论，并编写了这些领域的标准教科书。统计遗传学暑期研究所的更广泛影响在于提高了生物学家对现代统计方法的认识。该提案旨在使人口生物学、人口和数量遗传学专业的学生了解对其数据进行合理统计分析的必要性，并为他们提供进行这些分析的工具。研究所还提高统计人员对人口生物学以及人口和数量遗传学研究机会的认识。
