The principal investigator requested support for the Second international Joint Meeting of the IMS (Institute of Mathematical Statistics) and ISBA (the International Society for Bayesian Analysis), to be held in Bormio, Italy on Wednesday, January 12 to Friday, January 14, 2005. A central theme of the conference will be Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and related methods and applications in the 15 years since the publication of Gelfand and Smith (1990, JASA), the paper that introduced these methods to mainstream statisticians. The requested funding is to support the travel expenses of junior statistical investigators from US institutions, i.e., persons pursuing a PhD or DrPH in statistics or a closely related field, or who have received such a degree within the five years preceding the conference. Such investigators are often doing research that is among the most novel, interesting, and important for international dissemination, yet lack the travel funds necessary to attend such a conference, since they have not yet established a publication track record sufficient to attract external travel and other funding for their work.The benefit of and need for attendance at such meetings by junior statistical researchers is particularly great, since they contribute mightily to their professional development and help ``level the playing field'' with more established senior investigators. The specific anticipated benefits from the conference are: to provide an opportunity for researchers to discuss an area in some depth, by allowing ample time for presentations on a specific subject; to motivate young researchers to conduct research in the conference's focus areas that provide ample opportunity for interdisciplinary collaboration; to encourage young researchers and students to present their work, interact with senior colleagues, and make contact with their peers in a friendly, small meeting environment; to include a large portion of researchers and students from underrepresented groups among participants, and provide the opportunity for one-on-one discussions with colleagues from other institutions; to disseminate materials from the meeting as widely as possible, by posting the presentations on the ISBA web site at www.bayesian.org.

首席调查人员要求支持IMS第二次国际联合会议（数学统计研究所）和ISBA（国际贝叶斯分析学会），将于2005年1月12日星期三至1月14日星期五在意大利的波米奥举行。会议的中心主题将是Markov Chain Monte Carlo（MCMC）和史密斯（MCMC）和史密斯（Markov Carlo）和史密斯（Markov Carlo）和史密斯（Markov Carlo）和史密斯（Markov Carlo）的15年，该版本的出版物（199年）这将这些方法引入了主流统计学家。要求的资金是为了支持美国机构的初级统计调查人员的旅行费用，即从统计或密切相关领域攻读博士学位或DRPH的人，或者在会议前五年内获得了这样的学位。 Such investigators are often doing research that is among the most novel, interesting, and important for international dissemination, yet lack the travel funds necessary to attend such a conference, since they have not yet established a publication track record sufficient to attract external travel and other funding for their work.The benefit of and need for attendance at such meetings by junior statistical researchers is particularly great, since they contribute mightily to their professional development and help ``level the playing field'' with more established senior investigators.会议的特定预期收益是：为研究人员提供一个深度讨论某个区域的机会，以便在特定主题上演讲充足的时间；激励年轻的研究人员在会议的焦点领域进行研究，这些研究为跨学科合作提供了充足的机会； 鼓励年轻的研究人员和学生展示他们的工作，与高级同事互动，并在友好，小的会议环境中与同龄人联系； 包括大部分研究人员和来自参与者中代表性不足的学生的学生，并为与其他机构的同事进行一对一讨论提供了机会；通过在ISBA网站www.bayesian.org上发布演示文稿，尽可能广泛地从会议中传播材料。
