EMSW21-VIGRE Project: VIGRE-II - "Integrated and Mentored Program of Research and Education in Statistical Sciences" (IMPRESS)

EMSW 21 VIGRE项目：统计科学研究和教育综合和指导方案：北卡罗来纳州统计局的第二个VIGRE方案将继续发展根据该局第一个VIGRE奖（VIGRE-I）开始的统计人员示范培训方案。通过本科生，研究生和博士后实习生在教师指导团队的参与，我们的VIGRE计划将解决问题，研究，咨询和沟通置于学习过程的核心。IMPRESS项目将继续并扩大在VIGRE-I下开发的雄心勃勃的指导，研究技能培训和实习课程的计划。IMPRESS将鼓励来自不同背景和受过不同培训的注重数量的学生参与，从而使传统和代表性不足的学生群体的数学科学学生获得净收益。该方案将提高北卡罗来纳州统计教育的质量，并通过在全国范围内的传播，增加专业人员队伍和学院中统计科学家的人数，提高他们的质量。我们的VIGRE计划的智力优势已经并将体现在VIGRE学员及其导师对统计理论，方法和应用的贡献的意义上。同样重要的是，该计划将对许多科学和技术领域的数据依赖研究产生间接影响。训练有素的统计学家善于与其他学科的科学家进行互动，这对科学的进步至关重要。IMPRESS项目对人类和社会的影响包括我们的学员对许多科学和技术领域的科学行为的研究的当前和未来影响，受过专业培训的科学家数量的增加，以及下一代统计科学家在性别，种族和先前学术背景方面的组成的扩大。

EMSW21 VIGRE Project: Integrated and Mentored Program of Researchand Education in Statistical Sciences (IMPRESS).The NC State Department of Statistics' second VIGRE program (IMPRESS) will continue development of the model training program for statisticians begun under the Department's first VIGRE award (VIGRE-I). Through participation of undergraduates, graduate students and postdoctoral trainees in faculty-mentored teams, our VIGRE program places problem-solving, research, consulting, and communication at the core of the learning process. Project IMPRESS will continue and expand upon the program of ambitious mentoring, research skills training, and practicum courses developed under VIGRE-I. IMPRESS will encourage participation by quantitatively-oriented students from diverse backgrounds and with diverse prior training, thus resulting in a net gain for the mathematical sciences of students from both traditional and under-represented student groups. IMPRESS will enhance the quality of statistics education at NC State and, through national dissemination, increase the number and improve the quality of statistical scientists in the professional workforce and the academy. The intellectual merits of our VIGRE program have been and will be manifest in the significance of the VIGRE trainees' and their mentors' contributions to statistical theory, methods and applications. Equally important are the indirect effects that the program will have on the conduct of data-dependent research in numerous fields of science and technology. Well-trained statisticians skilled at interacting with scientists from other disciplines are crucial to the advance of science. The human and societal impacts of Project IMPRESS include the current and future impact of our trainees' research on the conduct of science in numerous fields of science and technology, an increase in the number of statistically-trained scientists, and a broadening of the composition of the next generation of statistical scientists in terms of gender, ethnicity, and prior academic background.
