Summer Research Conference in Statistics and Biostatistics

调查员和他的同事将组织和进行夏季研究会议（SRC）在统计和生物统计学在杰基尔岛，格鲁吉亚2012年6月3日至6日。 南部区域委员会是由南部区域统计理事会主办的年度会议。 其目的是鼓励交流和相互了解目前的研究思想在统计和生物统计，并给予动力和方向，以进一步的研究进展。 该项目将侧重于青年研究人员，让他们与该领域的领导人密切接触，进行人与人之间的互动，这在大多数其他会议上是不可能的;这些领导人如果来自南部地区，则自己支付费用，贡献时间。 发言者将提出正式的研究会谈，有足够的时间进行澄清，放大，并在小组中进一步进行非正式讨论。 根据该奖项提供的旅行支持学生和年轻的教师谁没有财政支持他们的旅行将出席，并提出海报，由更有经验的研究人员审查。南部地区统计理事会是一个财团的统计和生物统计方案在南方，西至得克萨斯州和北至马里兰州。 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研究人员前往SRCOS赞助的2012年夏季研究会议（SRC）;请参阅http://www.sph.emory.edu/srcos/research.htm了解许多最近SRC的存档。 会议是特别有价值的学生和教师从较小的区域学校在可行驶的距离，使他们有机会参与并与国际知名的领导人在该领域密切互动，而无需前往遥远的国家或国际场馆的成本。 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。

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.
