Summer Research Conference in Statistics and Biostatistics

统计和生物统计学夏季研究会议将于2017年6月4日至7日在佐治亚州杰基尔岛举行。这次会议是一系列年度会议中的第53次。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。会议的重点是年轻的研究人员，让他们与该领域的领导者亲密接触，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，学生们将参加并在海报上展示他们的研究，供更有经验的研究人员审查。南方地区统计委员会(SRCOS)是南方统计和生物统计项目的联盟，在该地区16个州的45所大学设有成员项目。该项目将资助学生参加由SRCOS赞助的2017年夏季研究会议(SRC)。对于来自该地区较小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场馆的费用。它将加强整个统计和生物统计界的研究，特别是在相对不发达的南部地区。会议的五个主题是复杂空间环境问题、统计教育、功能数据分析、因果推理和综合Omics。欲了解更多详情，请访问会议网站http://web1.sph.emory.edu/srcos/.。

The Summer Research Conference in Statistics and Biostatistics will be held in Jekyll Island, Georgia on June 4-7, 2017. This meeting is the 53rd in a sequence of annual conferences. 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 conference focuses 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. With 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 (SRCOS) is a consortium of statistics and biostatistics programs in the South, with member programs at 45 universities in 16 states in the region. This project will fund student participation in the 2017 Summer Research Conference (SRC) sponsored by SRCOS. The meeting is particularly valuable for students and faculty from smaller schools in the region, affording them the opportunity to participate and interact closely with internationally-known leaders in the field without the cost of travel to distant venues. It will strengthen the research of the statistics and biostatistics community as a whole, and particularly in the relatively underdeveloped southern region. The conference's five session topics are Complex Spatial Environmental Problems, Statistical Education, Functional Data Analysis, Causal Inference, and Integrative Omics.
