Applicants Wanted for 2013 Travel Awards

The ASA Survey Research and Methods Section (SRMS) seeks applicants for the student travel award in doctoral programs in statistics, survey methodology, or allied disciplines. Support is offered for students to attend the 2013 Joint Statistical Meetings, to be held in Montréal, Québec, from August 3–8.

Preference will be given to students presenting a paper or poster at the conference. In addition, applications must be supported by a current member of SRMS. Approximately three awards will be granted to cover conference expenses up to $600. Winners are expected to attend JSM sessions and the SRMS business meeting.

The deadline for applications is December 3. Contact Jill A. Dever at jdever@rti.org for an application or with questions. Previous student travel award winners and JSM 2013 student paper competition winners are not eligible for this award.
