The funding is for travel support for US participants in the "10th ISBA World Meeting on Bayesian Statistics", to be held June 3 through 8, 2010, in Benidorm, Spain. The grant will pay partial travel expenses for 10 young investigators, including at least 5 women and other under-represented groups. The purpose of the conference is to bring together the diverse international community of investigators in statistics and in other areas who develop and use Bayesian methods to share recent findings and to present new and challenging problems to be addressed by the community.This grant enables 10 young investigators from US institutions to participate in the main international meeting for Bayesian statistics which is held every two years. The use of Bayesian methods in academia, government and industry has been steadily increasing over the past 20 years, with many US researchers playing a leading role. This grant will help to maintain and strengthen this leading role of US scientists. The project will do so in particular by providing young investigators with important opportunities for networking and dissemination of their research results. The meeting is organized by the International Society for Bayesian Analysis (ISBA, http://www.bayesian.org). The mission of ISBA is to promote the development and application of Bayesian statistical theory and methods useful in the solution of theoretical and applied problems in science, industry and government.

该资金用于为美国参加者提供旅行支持，参加将于 2010 年 6 月 3 日至 8 日在西班牙贝尼多姆举行的“第十届 ISBA 贝叶斯统计世界会议”。这笔赠款将为 10 名年轻调查员支付部分旅费，其中包括至少 5 名女性和其他代表性不足的群体。 会议的目的是将统计和其他领域开发和使用贝叶斯方法的多元化国际研究人员聚集在一起，分享最新发现，并提出需要社区解决的新的和具有挑战性的问题。这笔赠款使来自美国机构的 10 名年轻研究人员能够参加每两年举行一次的贝叶斯统计主要国际会议。 过去 20 年来，贝叶斯方法在学术界、政府和工业界的使用一直在稳步增加，其中许多美国研究人员发挥了主导作用。这笔赠款将有助于维持和加强美国科学家的领导作用。该项目将特别通过为年轻研究人员提供交流和传播其研究成果的重要机会来实现这一目标。该会议由国际贝叶斯分析学会（ISBA，http://www.bayesian.org）组织。 ISBA 的使命是促进贝叶斯统计理论和方法的发展和应用，以解决科学、工业和政府的理论和应用问题。
