The investigator and his colleagues will organize and conduct a Summer Research Conference (SRC) in statistics and biostatistics at Jekyll Island, Georgia June 3-6, 2012. The SRC is an annual conference sponsored by the Southern Regional Council on Statistics (SRCOS). Its purpose is to encourage the interchange and mutual understanding of current research ideas in statistics and biostatistics, and to give motivation and direction to further research progress. The project will focus on young researchers, placing them in close proximity to leaders in the field for person-to-person interactions in a manner not possible at most other meetings; these leaders, if from the southern region, pay their own way and contribute their time. Speakers will present formal research talks with adequate time allowed for clarification, amplification, and further informal discussions in small groups. Under the travel support provided by this award students and young faculty who do not have financial support for their travel will attend and also present posters to be reviewed by more experienced researchers.The Southern Regional Council on Statistics is a consortium of statistics and biostatistics programs in the South, stretching as far west as Texas and as far north as Maryland. It currently has 43 member programs at 39 universities in 16 states in the region. This project will fund student and young-investigator travel to the 2012 Summer Research Conference (SRC) sponsored by SRCOS; see http://www.sph.emory.edu/srcos/research.htm for an archive of many recent SRCs. The meeting is particularly valuable for students and faculty from smaller regional schools at drivable distances, affording them the opportunity to participate and interact closely with internationally-known leaders in the field without the cost of travel to distant national or international venues. It will strengthen the research of the statistics and biostatistics community as a whole, and particularly in the underdeveloped southern region.

这位研究人员和他的同事将于2012年6月3日至6日在佐治亚州杰基尔岛组织和主持统计和生物统计学夏季研究会议(SRC)。SRC是由南方地区统计理事会(SRCOS)主办的年度会议。它的目的是鼓励交流和相互理解目前统计学和生物统计学的研究思想，并为进一步的研究进展提供动力和方向。该项目将把重点放在年轻的研究人员身上，使他们与该领域的领导人密切接触，进行人与人之间的互动，这种方式在大多数其他会议上是不可能的；这些领导人，如果来自南方地区，则自费并贡献自己的时间。演讲者将发表正式的研究演讲，并有足够的时间进行澄清、阐述和小组进一步的非正式讨论。在该奖项提供的旅行支持下，没有经济资助的学生和年轻教师将参加会议，并提交海报供更有经验的研究人员审查。南方地区统计委员会是南方统计和生物统计项目的联盟，向西延伸到德克萨斯州，向北延伸到马里兰州。它目前在该地区16个州的39所大学拥有43个成员项目。该项目将资助学生和年轻研究人员参加由SRCOS赞助的2012年夏季研究会议(SRC)；有关许多最近的SRC的档案，请访问http://www.sph.emory.edu/srcos/research.htm。对于来自可驾车距离的较小地区学校的学生和教职员工来说，这次会议特别有价值，使他们有机会参与该领域的国际知名领导人并与其密切互动，而无需支付前往遥远的国内或国际场馆的旅费。它将加强整个统计和生物统计界的研究，特别是在欠发达的南部地区。
