The SRCOS Summer Research Conference in Statistics and Biostatistics

由南方地区统计委员会（SRCOS）主办的统计与生物统计学夏季研究会议（SRC）于2019年6月2日至5日在肯塔基州卡罗尔顿的巴特勒将军州立度假公园举行。2019年的SRC是该会议成立55周年。其目的是促进统计学和生物统计学当前研究思想的交流和相互理解，并为进一步的研究进展提供动力和方向。该项目以年轻的研究人员为重点，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。演讲者将进行正式的研究谈话，有足够的时间进行澄清、放大和进一步的小组非正式讨论。为了招募和留住STEM领域中代表性不足的群体，SRCOS增加了一个本科组成部分，即统计本科研究经验（SURE）。该项目鼓励弱势群体的参与，提供统计学方面的就业机会，提供真实数据分析研讨会，以及研究生信息会议。在该奖项提供的旅行支持下，研究生参加并以海报的形式展示他们的研究，这些海报由更有经验的研究人员审查，而本科生则接触到数据分析，研究生学习统计学和生物统计学的机会，以及就业机会。统计与生物统计学夏季研究会议（SRC）是由南方地区统计委员会（SRCOS）主办的年度会议。SRCOS是一个由南方的统计和生物统计项目组成的联盟，其范围西至德克萨斯州，北至马里兰州。该项目资助学生参加由SRCOS主办的2019年夏季研究会议（SRC）。这次会议对于来自小型地区学校的学生和教职员工来说尤其有价值，因为他们可以在开车的距离内参加会议，并与该领域的国际知名领导者密切互动，而无需前往遥远的国家或国际场所。本次会议旨在加强整个统计和生物统计界的研究，特别侧重于接触具有统计本科研究经验的代表性不足的本科生（SURE 2019）。有关所有细节，请参阅会议链接https://www.srcos.orgThis奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。

Summer Research Conference (SRC) in statistics and biostatistics, sponsored by the Southern Regional Council on Statistics (SRCOS), is held at General Butler State Resort Park in Carrolton, Kentucky on June 2-5, 2019. The 2019 SRC is the 55th anniversary of that conference. 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 focuses 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. To enhance the recruitment and retention of under-represented groups in STEM fields, SRCOS has added an undergraduate component, Statistical Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE). The SURE encourages involvement of under-represented minorities, presents career opportunities in Statistics, provides a Real Data Analytics Workshop, as well as a graduate school information session. Under the travel support provided by this award graduate students attended and presented their research in posters which are reviewed by more experienced researchers, while undergraduate students have been exposed to data analytics, graduate school opportunities in statistics and biostatistics, and career opportunities available.The Summer Research Conference (SRC) in statistics and biostatistics is an annual conference sponsored by the Southern Regional Council on Statistics (SRCOS). The SRCOS is a consortium of statistics and biostatistics programs in the South, stretching as far west as Texas and as far north as Maryland. This project is funding student participation in the 2019 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. This conference is strengthening the research of the statistics and biostatistics community as a whole, and particularly focuses on reaching under-represented undergraduate students with Statistics Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE 2019).
