EMSW21-VIGRE Berkeley Statistics VIGRE Program

这个研究和教育的综合计划是以前的VIGRE赠款的统计部，加州大学伯克利分校的更新。 它以纵向一体化的方式支持本科生的研究经验、研究生实习和博士后奖学金。在本科阶段，其目标是提高本科课程的吸引力和质量，从而增加本科专业的数量和数学科学研究生的数量。 该项目支持本科生的研究经验，与研究生，博士后和教师的研究相结合。 在研究生阶段，教学和沟通技能和教育培训使毕业生能够参与跨学科研究，并为概率和统计的核心理论和方法做出贡献。 在博士后阶段，研究人员为学术界，工业界或政府的职业生涯做好准备，为他们提供沿着的教学和研究指导的激励研究氛围。 研究员发展独立的研究计划和广阔的视野。 这种支持为小型但成功的博士后项目增添了活力，并通过研究和教育的垂直整合增强了研究生和本科生项目。 该项目的一个重要目标是招聘和留住更多数量和多样性的国内学生。 这些资金每年资助10名研究生受训人员、3名博士后研究金和12名本科生。 VIGRE项目在学年的九个月和夏季的两个月内活跃。 该计划包括重要的推广和传播组件，管理计划和评估程序。统计思想在现代信息时代发挥着关键作用。 随机模型和方法是广泛领域研究和应用的重要组成部分。 机遇和挑战是巨大的。 该项目通过在教育计划的各个层次（从本科专业到博士后经验）中以综合的方式注入思想，精力和资源来解决这些问题，招募所有这些层次的学生，并为他们参与现在数学科学中提供的非凡机会做好准备。研究人员将接受培训，以便在跨学科研究的关系中发现的前沿工作，其影响超出了概率和统计学的范畴。 通过传播，创新将传播到其他机构。 该方案还包括编写教育材料，这将对更广泛的社区产生影响。

This integrated program of research and education is a renewal of the previous VIGRE grant to the Department of Statistics, University of California, Berkeley. It supports undergraduate research experiences, graduate traineeships, and postdoctoral fellowships in a vertically integrated manner.At the undergraduate level, the objective is to increase the attraction and quality of the undergraduate program and thereby to increase the number of undergraduate majors and the number going on to graduate work in the mathematical sciences. The project supports undergraduate research experiences, integrated with the research of graduate students, postdocs, and faculty. At the graduate level, training in teaching and communication skills and education enables graduates to participate in interdisciplinary research and contribute to the core theory and methodology of probability and statistics. At the postdoctoral level, researchers are prepared for careers in academia, industry, or government by providing them a stimulating research atmosphere along with mentoring for teaching and research. Fellows develop independent research programs and broad perspectives. This support adds vitality to the small but successful postdoctoral program and enhances the graduate and undergraduate programs through vertical integration of research and education. Recruitment and retention of an increased number and diversity of domestic students is an important goal of the project. The funds support 10 graduate traineeships, three postdoctoral fellowships and 12 undergraduates per year. The VIGRE program is active during the nine months of the academic year and for two summer months. The program includes significant outreach and dissemination components, a management plan, and evaluation procedures.Statistical ideas play a key role in the modern information age. Stochastic models and methods are essential components of research and applications across a vast spectrum of fields. The opportunities and challenges are enormous. This project addresses them by infusing ideas, energy, and resources in an integrated way in all levels of the educational program, from the undergraduate major to the postdoctoral experience, recruiting students at all these levels and preparing them to participate in the extraordinary range of opportunities now available in the mathematical sciences.Researchers will be trained to work at frontiers found at the nexus with interdisciplinary research, with a resulting impact beyond the disciplines of probability and statistics. Through dissemination, innovations will be spread to other institutions. The program also includes the development of educational materials, which will have impact on the broader community.
