DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application describes plans for the Sixth North American Meeting of New Researchers in Statistics and Probability, a conference, sponsored by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, to be organized by and held for junior researchers. The primary objective is to provide a much needed venue for interaction among new researchers. In contrast with large meetings, this conference will be restricted to 90 participants. Sessions will be followed by discussions and breaks to facilitate interactions. The proposed conference will take place July 29 - August 1, 2003 on the University of California campus at Davis, California. Housing, meals, and conference facilities will be provided on campus. The Joint Statistical Meetings will be held in San Francisco the following week, August 3-7, providing an easy opportunity for conference participants to attend both events. Participants will be statisticians and probabilists whom have received their Ph.D. since 1998 or are expecting to receive their degree by 2004. Each participant will present a talk or poster. Topics will include the gamut of statistical research from theory and methods to applications. Effort will be made to attract researchers from Biostatistics (an area well represented at the 2001 meetings for new researchers in Statistics and Probability). There will be four senior speaker sessions in which topics or particular interest to new researchers will be presented. Professor Charles McCulloch from the University of California at San Francisco, Professor Xiao-Li Meng from Harvard University, Professor Jessica Utts from the University of California at Davis, and IMS President Raghu Varadhan have all accepted invitations to speak. Three panel discussions during the conference will cover the topics of journal publications, opportunities in statistics laboratories, and funding.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请描述了第六次北美统计和概率新研究人员会议的计划，该会议由数理统计研究所主办，由初级研究人员组织和举行。 主要目的是为新研究人员之间的互动提供一个急需的场所。 与大型会议相比，这次会议将限制在90名与会者。 会议之后将进行讨论和休息，以促进互动。 拟议的会议将于2003年7月29日至8月1日在加州戴维斯的加州大学校园举行。 住宿，膳食和会议设施将在校园内提供。 联合统计会议将于下一周，即8月3日至7日在旧金山弗朗西斯科举行，为与会者参加这两项活动提供了一个方便的机会。 参与者将是统计学家和概率学家，他们获得了博士学位。自1998年以来，或预计在2004年获得学位。每位参与者将发表演讲或海报。 主题将包括从理论和方法到应用的统计研究的范围。 将努力吸引来自生物统计学的研究人员（2001年统计学和概率学新研究人员会议上该领域的代表很多）。 将有四个高级发言人会议，其中主题或特别感兴趣的新的研究人员将提出。 弗朗西斯科加州大学的Charles McCulloch教授、哈佛大学的孟晓莉教授、加州大学戴维斯分校的Jessica Utts教授以及IMS总裁Raghu Varadhan都接受了演讲邀请。 会议期间的三个小组讨论将涵盖期刊出版物，统计实验室的机会和资金等主题。
