The SRCOS Summer Research Conference in Statistics and Biostatistics

研究者和她的同事将于2014年6月1日至4日在德克萨斯州加尔维斯顿的加尔维斯酒店组织并举办统计学和生物统计学夏季研究会议（SRC）。2014年将是该会议的50周年纪念。南区统计委员会是由南区统计委员会（SRCOS）主办的年度会议。其目的是促进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的研究人员，让他们与该领域的领导者近距离接触，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。演讲者将进行正式的研究谈话，有足够的时间进行澄清、放大和进一步的小组非正式讨论。在该奖项提供的旅费支持下，学生将出席会议，并在海报上展示他们的研究成果，供更有经验的研究人员审查。南部地区统计委员会是一个由南部的统计和生物统计项目组成的联盟，其范围西至德克萨斯州，北至马里兰州。该协会目前在该地区14个州的43所大学设有会员项目。该项目将资助学生参加由SRCOS主办的2014年夏季研究会议（SRC）。这次会议对于来自小型地区学校的学生和教职员工来说尤其有价值，因为他们可以在开车的距离内参加会议，并与该领域的国际知名领导者密切互动，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界的研究，特别是在相对欠发达的南部地区。欲了解详细信息，请访问会议链接http://srcos2014.rice.edu。

The investigator and her colleagues will organize and conduct a Summer Research Conference (SRC) in statistics and biostatistics at the Hotel Galvez, in Galveston, Texas on June 1-4, 2014. The 2014 SRC will be the 50th anniversary of that conference. 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. 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 will attend and present their research in 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 member programs at 43 universities in 14 states in the region. This project will fund student participation in the 2014 Summer Research Conference (SRC) sponsored by SRCOS. 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 relatively underdeveloped southern region.
