The investigator and his colleagues will organize and conduct a Summer Research Conference (SRC) in statistics and biostatistics at Jekyll Island, Georgia June 3-6, 2012. 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; these leaders, if from the southern region, pay their own way and contribute their time. 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 and young faculty who do not have financial support for their travel will attend and also present 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 43 member programs at 39 universities in 16 states in the region. This project will fund student and young-investigator travel to the 2012 Summer Research Conference (SRC) sponsored by SRCOS; see http://www.sph.emory.edu/srcos/research.htm for an archive of many recent SRCs. 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 underdeveloped southern region.

调查员及其同事将在2012年6月3日至6日在佐治亚州杰基尔岛举行夏季研究会议（SRC）。 其目的是鼓励对统计和生物统计学中当前研究思想的互换和相互理解，并为进一步研究进步提供动力和方向。 该项目将集中于年轻的研究人员，将他们与该领域的领导者紧密地进行人与人之间的互动，在大多数其他会议上都无法以某种方式进行人与人之间的互动；这些领导人，如果来自南部地区，请自己付出自己的方式并贡献自己的时间。 演讲者将以足够的时间进行正式的研究演讲，以澄清，放大和进一步的非正式讨论。 在该奖项的旅行支持下，该奖项学生和年轻教职员工对旅行没有财政支持，还将出示海报，并介绍了经验丰富的研究人员的审查。南方统计区域委员会是南部的统计和生物统计学计划财团，一直延伸到西部，直至西部至北马里兰。 目前，该地区16个州的39所大学拥有43个会员计划。 该项目将资助由SRCOS赞助的2012年夏季研究会议（SRC）的学生和年轻入门者旅行；请参阅http://www.sph.emory.edu/srcos/research.htm，以了解许多最近的SRC。 这次会议对于可驾驶距离的较小区域学校的学生和教职员工特别有价值，这使他们有机会参加并与该领域的国际知名领导人紧密互动，而无需前往遥远的国家或国际场所的旅行费用。 它将加强整个统计和生物统计学界的研究，尤其是在南部地区欠发达的地区。
