Travel Support for the 10th ISBA World Meeting on Bayesian Statistics

这笔资金将用于资助美国与会者参加将于2010年6月3日至8日在西班牙贝尼多姆举行的“第10届国际贝叶斯统计协会世界贝叶斯统计会议”的旅费。这笔赠款将支付10名年轻调查员的部分旅费，其中包括至少5名妇女和其他代表性不足的群体。 该会议的目的是汇集在统计和其他领域的研究人员的多样化的国际社会谁开发和使用贝叶斯方法，分享最新的发现，并提出新的和具有挑战性的问题，以解决由community.This grant enables 10来自美国机构的年轻研究人员参加主要的国际会议贝叶斯统计这是每两年举行一次。 在过去的20年里，贝叶斯方法在学术界、政府和工业界的使用一直在稳步增加，许多美国研究人员发挥了主导作用。这笔赠款将有助于保持和加强美国科学家的这一领导作用。为此，该项目将特别为年轻的研究人员提供建立网络和传播其研究成果的重要机会。会议由国际贝叶斯分析学会（ISBA，http://www.bayesian.org）组织。 ISBA的使命是促进贝叶斯统计理论和方法的发展和应用，有助于解决科学、工业和政府的理论和应用问题。

The funding is for travel support for US participants in the "10th ISBA World Meeting on Bayesian Statistics", to be held June 3 through 8, 2010, in Benidorm, Spain. The grant will pay partial travel expenses for 10 young investigators, including at least 5 women and other under-represented groups. The purpose of the conference is to bring together the diverse international community of investigators in statistics and in other areas who develop and use Bayesian methods to share recent findings and to present new and challenging problems to be addressed by the community.This grant enables 10 young investigators from US institutions to participate in the main international meeting for Bayesian statistics which is held every two years. The use of Bayesian methods in academia, government and industry has been steadily increasing over the past 20 years, with many US researchers playing a leading role. This grant will help to maintain and strengthen this leading role of US scientists. The project will do so in particular by providing young investigators with important opportunities for networking and dissemination of their research results. The meeting is organized by the International Society for Bayesian Analysis (ISBA, http://www.bayesian.org). The mission of ISBA is to promote the development and application of Bayesian statistical theory and methods useful in the solution of theoretical and applied problems in science, industry and government.
