Abstract

DMS-0070176-Lynne Billard The International Biometrics Conference is planned for July 2-7, 2000, at San Francisco. The meeting will focus on the active areas of research in biostatistics. Areas of emphasis are "advancement of biological science through the development of quantitative theories and the application, development, and dissemination of effective mathematical and statistical techniques". The conference participants are concerned with cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary interface of the theoretical and application oriented real-world problems. In addition to the invited talks, ample time will be given for small group discussions in which junior participants will meet with senior mentors and other participants. The NSF monies requested are to support about fifteen U.S.-based participants and five non-U.S.-based researchers with emphasis on young researchers and traditionally underrepresented groups. Support will be limited to individuals at academic institutions and non-profit organizations.
