This Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI) award, jointly supported by the NSF and the Department of Energy (DOE), will take place from June 19 to July 17, 2009 at the Centro de Investigación en Matemáticas (CIMAT) in Guanajuato, Mexico. Organized by Dr. Javier Rojo of Rice University, the PASI will address cutting edge topics in theoretical statistics and applications to genetics and bioinformatics. Top researchers from Costa Rica, Mexico, Uruguay, and the United States will present cutting edge research in the areas of Statistical Finance, Statistical Multivariate Methods, Dimension Reduction, Survival Analysis with Microarray Data, Bioinformatics, and Statistical Genetics. The activity will provide 45 young researchers (including advanced PhD students, post-docs, and young faculty) with support for the duration of the Institute. Expected outcomes in this PASI will include: re-energized efforts in Latin America in theoretical statistics and their applications, enhanced collaborations between U.S. and Latin American researchers, and increased student exposure and experience to new fields of knowledge. The PASI results will be disseminated through lecture notes and proceedings to be published through the CIMAT and Rice University technical report series and will be mailed to all the participants. The lecture notes will also be made available on-line.

泛美高级研究院(PASI)奖由美国国家科学基金会和能源部(DOE)共同支持，将于2009年6月19日至7月17日在墨西哥瓜纳华托的CIMAT举行。由莱斯大学的哈维尔·罗霍博士组织的PASI将讨论理论统计以及遗传学和生物信息学应用方面的前沿话题。来自哥斯达黎加、墨西哥、乌拉圭和美国的顶尖研究人员将介绍统计金融、统计多变量方法、降维、利用微阵列数据进行生存分析、生物信息学和统计遗传学等领域的尖端研究。该活动将在研究所期间为45名年轻研究人员(包括高级博士生、博士后和年轻教职员工)提供支持。本次PASI的预期成果将包括：重振拉丁美洲在理论统计及其应用方面的努力，加强美国和拉丁美洲研究人员之间的合作，以及增加学生接触新知识领域的机会和经验。PASI的结果将通过CIMAT和莱斯大学技术报告系列出版的课堂讲稿和会议记录传播，并将邮寄给所有与会者。课堂讲稿也将在网上提供。
