Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute

统计和应用数学科学研究所（SAMSI）是一个国家研究所，它将统计和数学思维融合在一起，为基础科学和社会问题创造高影响力的理论和方法。它通过催化和培养其核心学科之间的合作-统计，概率和应用数学-以及这些学科与物理，社会和工程科学以及其他定量学科（如计算机科学和运筹学）之间的合作来实现这一目标。SAMSI从事研究人员在所有职业阶段，从研究生到博士后研究员，以高级国际领导人，谁从SAMSI带走扩展的思维模式，新的愿景和能量，以及动力，使合作开始有坚持。SAMSI计划的范围响应国家需求，来自统计和数学界的动力，以及具有潜在高影响力的科学机会。SAMSI是一个全国性的研究所，旨在通过促进和支持统计学家、应用数学家以及自然科学和社会科学研究人员之间的合作，推动科学和社会的发展。其目标是解决最具挑战性和影响深远的数据驱动问题，例如其即将推出的关于数据科学中的数值方法，社会和行为科学中的数据科学以及组合概率等主题的计划。SAMSI的运作方式是将各级研究人员-学生，博士后研究员和高级领导人-聚集在一起，组成团队，在SAMSI方案中取得实质性进展，并形成未来合作的基础。它激励人们在职业生涯的各个阶段以不同的方式思考应用数学和统计学的作用和力量。一个充满活力的教育和推广计划使用SAMSI的研究，目前的重要性和数学科学的成就，本科生，在教学学院教授，和公众。SAMSI的活动贯穿于努力增加在数学，统计学和其他科学中代表性不足的少数民族的参与。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute (SAMSI) is a national institute that merges statistical and mathematical thinking to create high impact theory and methodology for fundamental scientific and societal problems. It does so by catalyzing and nurturing collaborations both among its core disciplines -- statistics, probability, and applied mathematics -- and between those disciplines and the physical, social, and engineering sciences, as well as other quantitative disciplines such as computer science and operations research. SAMSI engages researchers at all career stages, from graduate students to postdoctoral fellows to senior international leaders, who take away from SAMSI expanded modes of thought, new vision and energy, and momentum enabling collaborations initiated there to persist. The spectrum of SAMSI's programs responds to national needs, impetus from the statistics and mathematics community, and scientific opportunities with potential high impact. A broad range of education and outreach activities, focused especially on undergraduates, faculty in teaching institutions, and under-represented minorities, builds greater public awareness of the importance and achievements of the mathematical sciences.SAMSI is a national institute that exists to advance science and society by catalyzing and supporting collaborations among statisticians, applied mathematicians, and researchers in the natural and social sciences. Its goal is to tackle the most challenging and far-reaching data-driven problems, as exemplified by its forthcoming programs on such topics as numerical methods in data science, data science in the social and behavioral sciences, and combinatorial probability. SAMSI operates by bringing together researchers at all levels -- students, postdoctoral fellows, and senior leaders -- into teams that both make substantial progress within SAMSI programs and form the basis of future collaborations. It stimulates people at all stages of their careers to think differently about the roles and power of applied mathematics and statistics in concert with one another. A vibrant education and outreach program uses SAMSI research to present the importance and achievements of the mathematical sciences to undergraduates, professors at teaching colleges, and the general public. SAMSI activities are permeated by efforts to increase the participation of under-represented minorities in mathematics, statistics, and other sciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
