REU SITE: Summer Program Advancing Techniques in the Applied Learning of Statistics (SPATIAL-Stats) at Georgetown University

该REU奖项为华盛顿特区乔治敦大学统计学应用学习(SPATAL-STATS)暑期项目推进技术项目提供资金。该计划旨在为学生提供一种指导结构，促进对数学科学的积极参与，并鼓励跨文化理解和教育卓越。该计划旨在提高本科生对数学和统计的理解水平，并让他们参与创造性的活动，从而使他们继续学习数学和统计，并帮助提高获得数学科学高级学位的少数族裔和女性的比例。通过这种方式，该计划将有助于为下一代数学科学研究人员进行最先进的科学研究提供基础，并将数学和统计研究有效地传播给广泛的受众。来自全国各地的有才华的学生将接受著名研究人员的培训，学习如何为出版进行科学研究。该计划以为期三周的统计和数学领域的密集讲座开始。然后，学生们将在五周的时间里积极参与研究，同时还将参加网络活动，与全国各地的顶尖研究人员会面。通过参与空间统计，该计划的学生将与其他具有不同种族/民族背景的学生互动，使他们在STEM方面获得卓越和多样性。学生将在复杂的数学和统计领域接受高级培训，以确保他们在大学内外取得成功。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This REU award provides funding for the Summer Program Advancing Techniques in the Applied Learning of Statistics (SPATIAL-Stats) at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. This program aims to provide a mentoring structure for students that promotes active engagement in the mathematical sciences and encourages intercultural understanding and educational excellence. The program is geared toward raising the level of mathematical and statistical understanding for undergraduate students and engaging them in creative activities, thereby keeping them in the mathematics and statistics pipeline and helping to increase the percentage of minorities and women who obtain advanced degrees in the mathematical sciences. In this way, the program will help provide the foundations for the next generation of mathematical science researchers to conduct state of the art scientific research and to effectively communicate mathematics and statistics research to a wide audience. Talented students from across the country will be trained by prominent researchers on how to conduct scientific research for publication. The program begins with an intensive three-weeks of lectures in the fields of statistics and mathematics. The students will then spend five weeks actively engaged in research while also participating in networking activities to meet leading researchers across the country. By participating in SPATIAL-Stats, students in the program will interact with other students with different racial/ethnic backgrounds exposing them to excellence and diversity in STEM. Students will receive advanced training in the complex fields of mathematics and statistics to ensure their success in college and beyond.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.
