This award supports travel for participants in the 2020 World Meeting of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis (ISBA) held in Kunming, China, June 29 - July 3, 2020. The conference themes include theory, modeling, and applications in Bayesian statistics. The grant provides support for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers from U.S.-based institutions to travel to the conference. Particular emphasis is given to supporting women and members of underrepresented groups.Statisticians play a critical role in the analysis of noisy, complex data that are used to make scientific discoveries as well as practical decisions under uncertainty. Bayesian statistics provides a coherent framework that facilitates integrating information from different sources and communicates findings and conclusions using probabilities. As a result, Bayesian approaches have been widely adopted in a variety of modern applications in areas such as biology, physics, psychology, economics, finance, environmental science, and engineering, along with many others. Bayesian models and methods are also the foundation for many recent developments in machine learning and artificial intelligence. The 2020 ISBA World Meeting brings together the diverse international community of researchers and practitioners who develop and use Bayesian statistical methods for sharing recent findings, exchanging ideas, and discussing new, challenging problems. The international meeting exposes participants to ideas and colleagues from other countries, with whom they may not ordinarily interact. Participation in the conference will help inform junior statisticians about the key problems and methods that shape research in modern Bayesian statistics and provide them with opportunities to learn from more established researchers and to build collaborative relationships.Additional information is available on the meeting web page https://bayesian.org/isba2020-home/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.

该奖项为参加2020年6月29日至7月3日在中国昆明举行的2020年国际贝叶斯分析学会（ISBA）世界会议的与会者提供旅费。会议主题包括贝叶斯统计的理论、建模和应用。该基金为美国机构的研究生和博士后研究人员前往会议提供支持。特别强调支持妇女和代表性不足群体的成员。统计学家在分析嘈杂、复杂的数据方面发挥着关键作用，这些数据被用于做出科学发现以及不确定情况下的实际决策。贝叶斯统计提供了一个连贯的框架，便于整合来自不同来源的信息，并使用概率传达发现和结论。因此，贝叶斯方法在生物学、物理学、心理学、经济学、金融学、环境科学和工程学等领域的各种现代应用中被广泛采用。贝叶斯模型和方法也是最近许多机器学习和人工智能发展的基础。2020年ISBA世界会议汇集了不同的国际研究人员和实践者，他们开发和使用贝叶斯统计方法，分享最新发现，交流思想，讨论新的，具有挑战性的问题。国际会议使与会者接触到来自其他国家的想法和同事，他们通常可能不会与之互动。参加会议将有助于初级统计学家了解影响现代贝叶斯统计研究的关键问题和方法，并为他们提供向更成熟的研究人员学习和建立合作关系的机会。更多信息可在会议网页https://bayesian.org/isba2020-home/This上获得。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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，认为值得支持。
