A Summer Institute in Statistical Genetics will be held at North Carolina State University during the first two weeks of June, 1999 through 2004. The Institute will consist of a series of three-day short courses in various aspects of statistical genetics, with faculty members of the Departments of Statistics and Genetics serving as primary instructors. Other experts in the field will assist in the instruction. The courses will cover: Population Genetic Data Analysis; Quantitative Genetic Data Analysis; Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping; Human Disease Gene Mapping; Molecular Genetic Data Analysis; and Bioinformatics. There will also be introductory short courses in basic statistics for geneticists and basic genetics for statisticians. The courses are aimed primarily at geneticists who are faced with the need to analyze increasing amounts of complex genetic data, and there will be some emphasis on human disease analyses. An effort will also be made to attract more statisticians into the field of statistical genetics. Support is requested for 25 scholarships per year to allow graduate students and postdoctoral students to attend the Institute. Support is also requested for the stipends of 25 instructors in the Institute.

统计遗传学暑期研究所将于1999年6月的前两周至2004年在北卡罗来纳州州立大学举行。 该研究所将包括一系列为期三天的短期课程，内容涉及统计遗传学的各个方面，由统计学系和遗传学系的教员担任主要教员。 该领域的其他专家将协助指导。 这些课程将包括：群体遗传数据分析;数量遗传数据分析;数量性状基因定位;人类疾病基因定位;分子遗传数据分析;和生物信息学。还将为遗传学家和统计学家举办基本遗传学入门短训班。 这些课程主要针对需要分析越来越多复杂遗传数据的遗传学家，并将重点放在人类疾病分析上。 还将努力吸引更多的统计学家进入统计遗传学领域。 要求每年提供25个奖学金，使研究生和博士后学生能够在研究所就读。 还要求为研究所25名教员的津贴提供支助。
