DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to support travel and per diem for 10 US junior researchers, students, or post-docs to attend a workshop, "High Dimensional Statistics in Biology" to be held March 31, 2008 through April 7, 2008 at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge, England. This is part of a large program, "Statistical Theory and Methods for Complex High Dimensional Data," to be held January 7, 2008 through July 27, 2008. This workshop has as co-organizers, Ewan Birney (EBI), Richard Durbin (Sanger Institute), Wolfgang Huber (EBI) and Peter Bickel (UC Berkeley), the proposer and one of the program organizers. The workshop aims to provide a venue for an interdisciplinary group of biologists drawn from both EBI and Sanger Institute, and the United States and Europe generally to exchange ideas and challenges with both the international group of experts on high dimensional data analysis who are in residence at the Newton Institute at the time and others invited to attend the workshop from the US and Europe generally. The format is to have 1) overview lectures primarily by biologists on the major modeling and prediction questions arising in their research based on high dimensional data and 2) overview lectures by statisticians, mathematicians, and computer scientists on types of methods which could be important in such analysis 3) discussion by the participants which might lead to fruitful collaborations. The junior participants supported by the grant would be the key to making the discussions fruitful.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议支持旅行和每日津贴为10名美国初级研究人员，学生，或博士后参加一个研讨会，“高维统计生物学”将于2008年3月31日至2008年4月7日在艾萨克牛顿数学科学研究所在剑桥，英格兰。这是一个大型项目的一部分，“复杂高维数据的统计理论和方法”，将于2008年1月7日至2008年7月27日举行。这个研讨会有作为共同组织者，伊万伯尼（EBI），理查德德宾（桑格研究所），沃尔夫冈胡贝尔（EBI）和彼得比克尔（加州大学伯克利分校），提议者和计划组织者之一。该研讨会旨在为来自EBI和桑格研究所以及美国和欧洲的跨学科生物学家提供一个场所，与当时居住在牛顿研究所的高维数据分析国际专家组以及其他应邀参加研讨会的美国和欧洲的专家交流想法和挑战。形式是1）主要由生物学家进行的概述讲座，讨论他们基于高维数据的研究中出现的主要建模和预测问题，以及2）统计学家、数学家和计算机科学家进行的概述讲座，讨论可能在此类分析中很重要的方法类型3）参与者的讨论，这可能会带来富有成效的合作。得到赠款支持的初级参与者将是使讨论富有成果的关键。
