The Second Midwest Statistics Research Colloquium will be held at the University of Chicago March 27 and 28, 2009. The conference will consist of four sessions of two talks each and an evening poster session. Speakers who have already accepted invitations are Peter McCullagh, Beth Andrews, Charles Geyer, Keith Worsley and Ed Ionides. Funds from NSF will be used to defray the travel costs of speakers and of graduate students and other new researchers. It is our intention that the Midwest Statistics Research Colloquium becomes an annual event serving to disseminate the best research being done in the region and to support intellectual exchanges in the community.The Midwest possesses a large number of strong statistics departments. To encourage interactions between these departments and the broader statistical research community in the region, a number of these departments sponsored the First Midwest Statistics Research Colloquium, held at the University of Chicago in March 2008. The investigator, together with the organizing committee, seeks to follow up with a second meeting in March, 2009. The day and a half meeting includes talks on a wide array of topics in theoretical and applied statistics and a poster session for graduate students and other new researchers. The regional nature of the meeting will allow many graduate students to carpool to the meeting, thus allowing many students to attend at modest cost. In addition, we will be encouraging direct interactions among the graduate students to get them started building the personal and intellectual relationships among their peers that will nourish them throughout their careers.

第二届中西部统计研究研讨会将于2009年3月27日和28日在芝加哥大学举行。会议将包括四场会议，每场两场演讲和一场晚间海报会议。已经接受邀请的演讲者有Peter McCullagh， Beth Andrews, Charles Geyer， Keith Worsley和Ed Ionides。来自国家科学基金会的资金将用于支付演讲者、研究生和其他新研究人员的旅费。我们的目的是使中西部统计研究研讨会成为一项年度活动，以传播该地区正在进行的最佳研究，并支持社区内的知识交流。中西部地区拥有大量实力雄厚的统计部门。为了鼓励这些部门与该地区更广泛的统计研究界之间的互动，其中一些部门于2008年3月在芝加哥大学主办了第一届中西部统计研究研讨会。调查人员与组委会一起，寻求在2009年3月举行第二次会议。为期一天半的会议包括一系列关于理论和应用统计学的广泛主题的演讲，以及面向研究生和其他新研究人员的海报会议。会议的区域性将允许许多研究生拼车参加会议，从而允许许多学生以适度的费用参加会议。此外，我们将鼓励研究生之间的直接互动，让他们开始在同龄人之间建立个人和智力关系，这将在他们的职业生涯中得到滋养。
