Summer Institute in Statistical Genetics

该奖项将帮助支持统计遗传学年度暑期研究所。为30名学生提供学费和旅行奖学金。该研究所提供一系列为期18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种群生物学家和种群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种群生物学和种群与数量遗传学中的问题。讲习班由该领域的领导者讲授，其中许多人发展了所讲授的理论，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广泛影响在于，生物学家对现代统计方法的力量有了更多的认识。这一建议旨在让群体生物学、群体和数量遗传学的学生了解对他们的数据进行可靠统计分析的必要性，并为他们提供进行这些分析的工具。该研究所还提高统计学家对种群生物学、种群和数量遗传学研究机会的认识。

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.
