Teaching of Statistics in the Health Sciences
The Young Investigator Award, presented annually, recognizes an outstanding young investigator (i.e., a current graduate student or recent graduate who received his/her terminal degree no more than seven years ago and is in a position with rank below associate professor and does not hold tenure or its equivalent) who is the first author of an abstract submitted to the TSHS section for JSM.
The abstract must be related to the use of effective methods in statistics education or innovative statistics education research in the health sciences. Consideration for this award requires a nomination letter, copy of the abstract, an accompanying full paper for the submitted abstract, copy of the nominee’s curriculum vitae (with emphasis on activities related to teaching or statistics education research in the health sciences), and a statement of the nominee’s philosophy of teaching or summary of the nominee’s program in statistics education research. Prior recipients of either this award or the section’s Distinguished Achievement Award are ineligible. All nominations must be made with the consent of the nominee, and self-nominations are allowed.
The deadline for receipt of nominations is March 6. Details will be announced via email and posted at the TSHS section website.
