The investigators seek to promote interdisciplinary statistical and combinatorial research by bringing together in this conference both junior and senior researchers from different disciplines. The investigators have enlisted many senior researchers of international repute to give plenary talks and/or to organize academic sessions on various topics representing such diverse fields as biology, combinatorial theory, computer science, econometrics, educational research methodology, environmental science, epidemiology, geography, information systems, psychology, and public health education. The project seeks funding to support young researchers who are at an early stage in their careers, particularly from groups that are traditionally underrepresented in mathematical sciences, such as women and minorities. The opportunity for personal interaction among beginning and established researchers that this conference provides is, we believe, essential for the grooming of young researchers.The investigators seek funding to promote interdisciplinary research involving statistical techniques, and to facilitate participation in this conference of approximately 30 young researchers (advanced graduate students and recent PhD recipients), particularly from groups that are traditionally underrepresented in mathematical sciences, such as women and minorities, so that they can become part of existing or newly created research networks. Another vital aspect of this conference at the local level is that it aims to create a network of researchers in North Carolina involving those from major research centers such as UNC Chapel Hill, Duke University, N. C. State University and Wake Forest University, and those from somewhat lesser known campuses such as The University of North Carolina at Greensboro and The North Carolina A&T University.

研究人员寻求通过在这次会议上汇集来自不同学科的初级和高级研究人员来促进跨学科的统计和组合研究。研究人员已经招募了许多国际知名的高级研究人员，就代表生物学、组合理论、计算机科学、计量经济学、教育研究方法、环境科学、流行病学、地理学、信息系统、心理学和公共卫生教育等不同领域的各种主题进行全体会议和/或组织学术会议。该项目寻求资金，以支持处于职业生涯早期阶段的年轻研究人员，特别是来自传统上在数学科学中代表性不足的群体，如妇女和少数民族。我们认为，本次会议为初出茅庐的研究人员和成熟的研究人员提供了个人互动的机会，这对培养年轻研究人员至关重要。研究人员寻求资金，以促进涉及统计技术的跨学科研究，并促进约30名年轻研究人员参加本次会议（高级研究生和最近的博士生），特别是来自传统上在数学科学中代表性不足的群体，如妇女和少数民族，这样他们就可以成为现有或新建立的研究网络的一部分。在地方一级，这次会议的另一个重要方面是，它旨在建立一个北卡罗来纳州的研究人员网络，包括来自主要研究中心的研究人员，如北查佩尔山、杜克大学、北卡罗来纳州。C.州立大学和维克森林大学，以及那些来自不太知名的校园，如格林斯伯勒的北卡罗来纳州大学和北卡罗来纳州A T大学。
