The SRCOS Summer Research Conference in Statistics and Biostatistics

这位调查员和他的同事将于2018年6月3日至6日在弗吉尼亚州弗吉尼亚州海滩度假酒店和会议中心组织并主持统计和生物统计学夏季研究会议(SRC)。2018年SRC将是该会议54周年。SRC是由南方地区统计理事会(SRCOS)主办的年度会议。它的目的是鼓励交流和相互理解目前统计学和生物统计学的研究思想，并为进一步的研究进展提供动力和方向。该项目将专注于年轻的研究人员，让他们与该领域的领导者近距离接触，进行人与人之间的互动，这在大多数其他会议上是不可能的。演讲者将发表正式的研究演讲，并有足够的时间进行澄清、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。南方地区统计委员会是南方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16个州的45所大学设有会员项目。该项目将资助学生参加由SRCOS赞助的2018年夏季研究会议(SRC)。对于来自可驾车距离的较小地区学校的学生和教职员工来说，这次会议特别有价值，使他们有机会参与该领域的国际知名领导人并与其密切互动，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。有关所有细节，请访问http://odu.edu/math/srcos/.This奖的会议链接，这反映了国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The investigator and his colleagues will organize and conduct a Summer Research Conference (SRC) in statistics and biostatistics at Virginia Beach Resort Hotel and Conference Center in Virginia Beach, Virginia on June 3-6, 2018. The 2018 SRC will be the 54th anniversary of that conference. The SRC is an annual conference sponsored by the Southern Regional Council on Statistics (SRCOS). Its purpose is to encourage the interchange and mutual understanding of current research ideas in statistics and biostatistics, and to give motivation and direction to further research progress. The project will focus on young researchers, placing them in close proximity to leaders in the field for person-to-person interactions in a manner not possible at most other meetings. Speakers will present formal research talks with adequate time allowed 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 16 states in the region. This project will fund student participation in the 2018 Summer Research Conference (SRC) sponsored by SRCOS. The meeting is particularly valuable for students and faculty from smaller regional schools at drivable distances, 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.
