Diversity Workshop and Mentoring Program

该项目支持联合统计会议（JSM）多样性研讨会和指导计划/ JSM多样性指导计划的2020年至2022年产品。 这些年度计划为来自代表性不足的群体的统计人员提供早期到中期职业水平的服务。参与者通过在JSM为期四天的体验与导师和网络联系。此外，鼓励参与和联系超出JSM的结构化经验。指导关系对处于所有职业阶段的个人都至关重要。这些关系会提高对机会的认识，增加对组织文化和政治的洞察力，并增加接触机会或领导者的机会，以及其他好处。建立这样的关系也有能力影响计划的其他目标。导师可以帮助激励学生从事统计学研究生学习或职业，并鼓励他们的学生参与美国统计协会或其他专业组织，并经常建立联系，增加讲习班参与者获得这些机会的机会。最终的社会结果是在统计领域形成了一支由训练有素、有影响力的领导人组成的多样化的工作队伍。该项目的网站是https://community.amstat.org/cmis/events/dwmp/dmp2020This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为值得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的支持。

This project supports the 2020 through 2022 offerings of the Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) Diversity Workshop and Mentoring Program / JSM Diversity Mentoring Program. These annual programs serve statisticians from underrepresented groups at early- to mid-career levels. Participants are connected to mentors and a network through a four-day experience at the JSM. Additionally, engagement and connections are encouraged beyond the structured experience at the JSM. Mentoring relationships are critically important for individuals at all career stages. These relationships result in increased awareness of opportunities, increased insight into organizational culture and politics, and increased access to opportunities or leaders, among other benefits. Establishing such relationships has the ability to impact other objectives of the program as well. Mentors can help motivate students to pursue graduate study or careers in statistics and encourage their proteges to become involved in the American Statistical Association or other professional organizations and can often make connections that increase the access of the workshop participants to these opportunities. The net societal result is a diverse workforce of well-trained, influential leaders in the field of statistics.
