Summer Research Conference in Statistics and Biostatistics

研究者和他的同事将于 2012 年 6 月 3 日至 6 日在佐治亚州杰基尔岛组织并举办统计和生物统计学夏季研究会议 (SRC)。SRC 是由南部地区统计委员会 (SRCOS) 主办的年度会议。 其目的是鼓励统计学和生物统计学当前研究思想的交流和相互理解，并为进一步的研究进展提供动力和方向。 该项目将重点关注年轻研究人员，让他们与该领域的领导者近距离接触，以大多数其他会议不可能的方式进行人与人之间的互动；这些领导人如果来自南部地区，就会自己付钱并贡献自己的时间。 演讲者将进行正式的研究演讲，并有足够的时间进行澄清、阐述，并在小组中进行进一步的非正式讨论。 在该奖项提供的旅行支持下，没有经济支持旅行的学生和年轻教师将参加会议，并展示海报供更有经验的研究人员审查。南部地区统计委员会是南部统计和生物统计项目的一个联盟，向西延伸到德克萨斯州，向北延伸到马里兰州。 目前，该组织在该地区 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者参加由 SRCOS 主办的 2012 年夏季研究会议 (SRC)；请参阅 http://www.sph.emory.edu/srcos/research.htm 以获取许多近期 SRC 的存档。 这次会议对于来自可驾车到达的较小地区学校的学生和教师来说尤其有价值，使他们有机会参与该领域的国际知名领导人并与他们密切互动，而无需前往遥远的国家或国际场所。 它将加强整个统计和生物统计学界的研究，特别是在欠发达的南方地区。

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.
