[gov2001-l] Fwd: useR! 2007 online registration is now available (fwd)

Hey Everyone, the conference below is a great opportunity to get feedback on your work-- hope the papers are going well Justin ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2007 21:23:45 -0400 From: Olivia Lau <olau at fas.harvard.edu> To: Justin Ryan Grimmer <jgrimmer at fas.harvard.edu> Subject: Fwd: useR! 2007 online registration is now available The UseR conference is being held in at Iowa State from August 8-10th this year. Day-long training courses will be offered on August 8th, and panels on the 9th and 10th. We have a bunch of interesting invited speakers lined up, and this is a great chance to get feedback on your work and interact with individuals from different disciplines. Both early registration and the deadline for paper submission have been extended to May 15th. Papers should be about 8 pages, including graphs and tables -- anything that uses R in an applied manner that can be generalized beyond the immediate substantive application would be appropriate (e.g., an edited version most Gov 2001 papers). The deadline for poster abstracts remains June 30th. While papers will be refereed, posters will not; if a paper is not accepted for oral presentation, it will be assigned to a poster session, and all poster proposals will be assigned to appropriate sessions. Also, NSF funding is available for graduate students and junior faculty who are unable to obtain conference funding from their home institutions. Please email a CV along with your paper or poster submission to submissions at user2007.org. Thanks, and hope to see you there!

The deadline for the early registration discount has been extended to May 15. We haven't had many contributed papers as yet, or requests for travel support from young researchers and graduate students. Please consider contributing a paper, and encouraging your students and young faculty to submit a paper and request travel support. The deadline for these has also been extended to May 15. Contributed papers will be refereed. Please also note that we have negotiated airline discounts with both Northwest and United airlines. They are excellent discounts, there is some reduction in even the cheapest fares. So do keep this in mind when you plane your travel. Details are on the web page. The deadline to submit an abstract for a poster is June 30. These abstracts will not be refereed. All poster submissions will be accepted.
