This award supports participation in the 16th New Researchers Conference, a conference series organized by, and held for, junior researchers under the auspices of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS). The meeting will take place over three days, July 31 to August 2, 2014, at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The primary objective is to provide a much needed venue for interaction among new researchers in statistics and probability. The meeting will be held immediately preceding the Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) 2014 in Boston, Massachusetts. Participants will have received their Ph.D. within the past five years or are expecting to receive their degree within the same year. Each participant will present a short expository talk and a poster. Topics will cover a variety of areas in statistics and probability, from theory and methods to applications. Senior speakers will give plenary talks for inspiration and take part in four discussion panels covering topics of importance for young people embarking on an academic/research career: teaching, mentoring, publishing and funding. This conference series is explicitly aimed at training the future leaders and workers in statistics and probability. In helping to create networks of new researchers, it lays the groundwork for future collaboration and informal exchange of ideas and knowledge. It is also critical for building professional cohesion within the fields of statistics and probability and setting new frontiers for research. Meeting people outside of one's research specialty area, and learning about their research, favors a more comprehensive view of research, which is important when taking editor positions and other professional service activities. The conference attracts participants with different backgrounds and nationalities, and underrepresented groups (women, minorities and people with disabilities) are explicitly encouraged to attend. The conference website is available at http://www.stat.harvard.edu/NRC2014/.

该奖项支持参加第16届新研究人员会议，该会议是由数学统计研究所（IMS）主持下的初级研究人员组织并为初级研究人员举办的会议系列。会议将于2014年7月31日至8月2日在马萨诸塞州剑桥的哈佛大学举行三天。主要目的是为新研究人员在统计和概率方面提供急需的场所。会议将在2014年在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的联合统计会议之前举行。参与者将获得博士学位。在过去的五年中，或期望在同年获得学位。每个参与者将提出简短的说明性演讲和海报。主题将涵盖从理论和方法到应用程序的统计和概率的各个领域。高级演讲者将进行全体会谈，以获取灵感，并参加四个讨论小组，涵盖了从事学术/研究职业的年轻人的重要性：教学，指导，出版和资助。该会议系列明确旨在培训未来的领导者和工人统计和概率。在帮助建立新研究人员网络的过程中，它为未来的合作和非正式的思想和知识交流奠定了基础。这对于在统计和概率领域以及为研究的新领域建立专业凝聚力而至关重要。在研究专业领域以外的人会面，并了解他们的研究，这有利于对研究的更全面的看法，这在参加编辑职位和其他专业服务活动时很重要。该会议吸引了具有不同背景和国籍的参与者，明确鼓励人数不足的团体（妇女，少数民族和残疾人）参加。会议网站可在http://www.stat.harvard.edu/nrc2014/上获得。
