DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this application we seek the support for a two and a half day inaugural conference "Celebrating women in Statistics: Know Your Power" which will take place in May 15 to 17, 2014 in the research Triangle Park, NC. Some of the goals of this conference are to empower women statisticians and biostatisticians by showcasing the accomplishments of successful women professionals, sharing information on how to elevate their status by successful negotiations, balance work-life and increase visibility of women in the field. Specifically, the ultimate intent of this conference is to increase the proportion of succesul women leaders who are ready to take the challenges of 'big-data' oriented research in twenty-first century especially in biomedical field. STEM fields such as astronomy, computer science, and mathematics have similar conferences and workshops designed for women that address issues women face in these fields and provide a venue for the exchange of research, networking and mentoring for women. This is the first time women in statistics and biostatistics are undertaking such initiative. We will target to achieve the following objectives. 1. Through multiple professional development workshop we provide information regarding negotiation skill, gender neutral communication skill, conflict resolution skill, balancing work-life and leadership training. 2. Through multiple invited technical sessions we highlight the research of female rising stars, mid-career and senior researchers, and in turn present exciting and challenging biostatistical research topics. 3. Through multiple mentorship and networking sessions of academic, government and industry participants prepare women junior participants to succeed in their career. 4. Through sessions dedicated to the journal editorial process and structure provide wisdom relating the authorship in a collaborative world. 5. Through panel discussions for funding opportunities at NSF/NIH and other federal and non-federal funding agencies make women researchers aware of the opportunities available to fund their research.

描述（由申请人提供）：在本申请中，我们寻求为两天半的开会会议“庆祝统计妇女：了解您的权力”，该会议将于2014年5月15日至17日在北卡罗来纳州的研究三角公园举行。这次会议的一些目标是通过展示成功的女性专业人士的成就，分享有关如何通过成功的谈判，平衡工作生活和提高该领域女性的知名度来提高其地位的信息，来增强女性统计学家和生物统计学家的能力。具体而言，本次会议的最终意图是增加准备应对二十一世纪“大数据”研究挑战的成功女性领导人的比例，尤其是在生物医学领域。天文学，计算机科学和数学等STEM领域有类似的会议和讲习班，专为妇女设计，这些妇女解决这些领域女性面临的问题，并为妇女提供研究，网络和指导的场所。这是统计和生物统计学领域的第一次采取这种倡议。我们将目标以实现以下目标。 1。通过多个专业发展研讨会，我们提供有关谈判技巧，性别中立沟通技巧，解决冲突技能，平衡工作生活和领导力培训的信息。 2。通过多次邀请的技术会议，我们强调了女性崛起的研究 明星，职业和高级研究人员，进而提出令人兴奋且具有挑战性的生物统计研究主题。 3。通过多次指导和网络会议的学术，政府和行业参与者为妇女初级参与者做好准备，以便在职业生涯中取得成功。 4。通过专门介绍“编辑过程和结构”的会议，提供了与协作世界中的作者身份有关的智慧。 5。通过小组讨论NSF/NIH和其他联邦和非联邦资助机构的资助机会，使女性研究人员意识到可用的研究机会。
