The SRCOS Summer Research Conference in Statistics and Biostatistics

该奖项支持研究生参加2015年6月7日至10日在北卡罗来纳州卡罗莱纳海滩举行的统计和生物统计学夏季研究会议。这次会议是南方地区统计理事会(SRCOS)主办的一系列年度会议中的第51次。其目的是鼓励交流统计学和生物统计学目前的研究思想，并为进一步的研究进展提供动力和方向。该系列会议以青年研究人员为重点，为该领域的初级研究人员和领导者之间的互动提供了极好的机会。会议的特点是就当前的研究主题进行演讲，并有专门的时间进行澄清、阐述和小组进一步的非正式讨论。在该奖项提供的旅行支持下，学生们将参加并在海报上展示他们的研究，供更有经验的研究人员审查。南部地区统计委员会是南部统计和生物统计项目的联盟，向西延伸到德克萨斯州，向北延伸到马里兰州。它目前在该地区15个州的45所大学设有会员项目。由SRCOS赞助的2015年夏季统计和生物统计研究会议对来自驱车距离内较小地区学校的学生和教职员工特别有价值，使他们有机会参与该领域的国际知名领导者并与其密切互动，而无需支付前往遥远的国内或国际场馆的旅费。它将加强整个统计和生物统计界的研究，特别是在相对不发达的南部地区。欲了解更多详情，请访问会议网站http://www.uncw.edu/src2015/.。

This award supports the participation of graduate students in the Summer Research Conference in Statistics and Biostatistics, held in Carolina Beach, North Carolina on June 7-10, 2015. The meeting is the 51st in a series of annual conferences sponsored by the Southern Regional Council on Statistics (SRCOS). Its purpose is to encourage the exchange of current research ideas in statistics and biostatistics and to give motivation and direction to further research progress. The conference series focuses on young researchers, providing excellent opportunities for interaction among junior researchers and leaders in the field. The meeting features talks on current research topics together with dedicated time for clarification, amplification, and further informal discussions in small groups. Under the travel support provided by this award, students will attend and present their research in posters to be reviewed by more experienced researchers.The Southern Regional Council on Statistics is a consortium of statistics and biostatistics programs in the South, stretching as far west as Texas and as far north as Maryland. It currently has member programs at 45 universities in 15 states in the region. The 2015 Summer Research Conference in Statistics and Biostatistics sponsored by SRCOS is particularly valuable for students and faculty from smaller regional schools within driving distance, affording them the opportunity to participate and interact closely with internationally-known leaders in the field without the cost of travel to distant national or international venues. It will strengthen the research of the statistics and biostatistics community as a whole, and particularly in the relatively underdeveloped southern region.
