North American Meeting of Researchers in Statistics and Probability, Summer 2008, Boulder, CO

调查员和她的同事正在组织和主持一个专门针对统计和概率新研究人员的会议。会议为初级研究人员提供了一个独特的场所和机会，使他们能够在非正式的环境中与同行进行互动。会议期间，与会者将在一系列讲座和海报会议中介绍他们的研究想法。研究员和她的同事邀请了几位资深研究人员参加会议。高级参与者将主持小组会议，初级研究人员可以了解资助机会，如何指导学生，以及如何在专业期刊上发表他们的研究。会议的主要目标是对新研究人员进行专业教育，并帮助在这些初级研究人员之间建立网络，这两者都是专业成长的重要组成部分。明确鼓励妇女、少数民族和残疾人参加。研究员计划组织和主办第十一次统计和概率新研究人员会议。其主要目的是为新的研究人员提供一个互动的场所。拟议的会议将于2008年7月29日至8月2日在博尔德的科罗拉多大学和国家大气研究中心（NCAR）举行，紧接着在丹佛举行的年度联合统计会议（JSM）。参与者将是统计学家和概率学家，他们已经获得了博士学位。在过去的五年内，或者希望在明年内获得学位。每位参与者将发表演讲或海报。主题将涵盖统计研究的各个领域，从理论和方法到应用。资深演讲者将讨论新研究人员特别感兴趣的主题。会议期间的小组讨论将涵盖期刊出版物，统计实验室和行业的机会，资金和指导等主题。

The investigator and her colleagues are organizing and hosting a conference aimed specifically at new researchers in statistics and probability. The conference constitutes a unique venue and opportunity for junior researchers to interact with their peers in an informal setting. During the conference, the participants will present their research ideas in a series of talks and poster sessions. The investigator and her colleagues have invited several senior researchers to the conference. The senior participants will host panel session where the junior researchers can learn about funding opportunities, how to mentor students, and how to publish their research in professional journals. The primary goals of the conferences are professional education of new researchers and to help create a network among these junior researchers, both vital parts of professional growth. Women, minorities, and the disabled are explicitly encouraged to attend. The investigator plans to organize and host the Eleventh Meeting of New Researchers in Statistics and Probability. The primary objective is to provide a venue for interaction among new researchers. The proposed conference will take place July 29 - August 2, 2008 at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), to immediately precede the annual Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) in Denver. Participants will be statisticians and probabilists that have received their Ph.D. within the past five years or are expecting to receive their degree within the next year. Each participant will present a talk or poster. Topics will range across a variety of areas in statistical research from theory and methods to applications. Senior speakers will discuss topics of particular interest to new researchers. Panel discussions during the conference will cover the topics of journal publications, opportunities in statistics laboratories and industry, funding, and mentoring.
