Mathematical Sciences: Tandem Traineeships for Cross-Disciplinary Statisticians

国家科学基金会的主要目标 研究生研究培训计划是为了增加 有才华的美国本科生在攻读博士学位， 科学和工程的关键和新兴领域。 建议 向现有设施和 工作人员可以容纳更多的博士研究生。 高质量的节目。 该计划还旨在 有助于加强全国的人力资源基础， 所有地理部门和所有代表性不足的群体。 研究生研究培训奖学金是学生的一揽子计划， 支持. 获得该奖项的高校有 负责培训生的选拔，培训生的保留， 和实习管理。 斯坦福大学计划增加美国博士学位的数量。 统计学家通过“串联培训”计划。 的 该计划的目标将是培养学生与 技能和愿望（a）进行跨学科研究， 科学和工程以及（B）促进本科教育， 数学科学，特别是概率和统计学， 从一个广泛的、跨学科的角度。 为了创造一个 培养跨学科思想的结构， 学生将被鼓励遵循他们的兴趣和那些 他们在至少两个部门选择的教员。 为了 吸引广泛的合格美国申请人，特别是 妇女、少数民族和残疾学生，目前的辅导 并将扩大招聘工作。

The principal objective of the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Traineeship Program is to increase the numbers of talented U.S. undergraduates enrolling in doctoral programs in critical and emerging areas of science and engineering. Proposals were solicited from institutions whose existing facilities and staff could accommodate additional graduate students in Ph.D. programs of high quality. The program is also intended to contribute to strengthening the Nation's human resource base across all geographic sectors and among all under-represented groups. Graduate Research Traineeship awards are packages of student support. The colleges and universities that receive the awards are responsible for the selection of trainees, retention of trainees, and administration of traineeships. Stanford University plans to increase the number of U.S. Ph.D. statisticians through a "Tandem Traineeship" program. The objective of the program will be to produce students with the skills and desire to (a) conduct cross-disciplinary research in science and engineering and (b) foster undergraduate education in the mathematical sciences, particularly probability and statistics, from a broad, interdisciplinary perspective. In order to create a structure in which the cross-disciplinary idea is nurtured, students will be encouraged to follow their interests and those of their chosen faculty members in at least two departments. In order to attract a broad base of qualified U.S. applicants, particularly women, minorities and students with disabilities, current mentoring and recruitment efforts will be expanded.
