This award will support a Writing Workshop for Junior Researchers, which will be held at the Joint Statistical Meetings, August 3-8, 2013, in Montreal, Canada. The workshop will train junior researchers in effective technical writing. The goal is to help new researchers in the statistical sciences who seek to publish their research or to present their research plans in the form of grant proposals for federal funding. Researchers, especially new researchers, often have difficulty disseminating their research results not because of the quality of the research but rather because of inappropriate choices of publication venues for the particular research and/or because of poor presentation of technical material to the chosen audience. The National Institute of Statistical Sciences and the American Statistical Association will manage the Workshop. This workshop will open with tutorial sessions on the organization of material for a technical article or grant application, on technical writing techniques and on the specific missions and audiences of key journals in the statistical sciences. Then each participating new researcher will work individually with an experienced journal editor as mentor to address these issues on an individualized basis for draft of the new researcher's work in progress. Revisions following this guidance will be critiqued by the mentor to assure that the new researcher's implementation of writing techniques has been successful before the article or the grant proposal is submitted for review.

该奖项将支持青年研究人员写作研讨会，该研讨会将于2013年8月3日至8日在加拿大蒙特利尔举行的联合统计会议上举行。讲习班将培训初级研究人员有效的技术写作。其目标是帮助统计科学领域的新研究人员发表他们的研究成果，或者以申请联邦资助的形式展示他们的研究计划。研究人员，特别是新的研究人员，往往难以传播他们的研究成果，不是因为研究的质量，而是因为为特定研究选择了不适当的出版场所和/或因为向选定的读者提供技术材料的方式不佳。国家统计科学研究所和美国统计协会将管理该讲习班。这个讲习班将以指导会议开始，讨论技术文章或拨款申请材料的组织、技术写作技巧以及统计科学主要期刊的具体任务和读者。然后，每位参与的新研究员将在一位经验丰富的期刊编辑的指导下，针对新研究员正在进行的工作草稿，以个性化的方式解决这些问题。导师将根据该指导意见进行修改，以确保新研究员在提交文章或资助提案进行审查之前成功地实施了写作技巧。
