The Statistical Computing and Statistical Graphics sections of the ASA are co-sponsoring the John M. Chambers Statistical Software Award. This annual prize for statistical software written by, or in collaboration with, an undergraduate or graduate student carries with it a cash award of $2,000. Both individuals and teams are eligible to participate.

To be eligible, at least one individual in the team must have begun the development while a student and either currently be a student or have completed all requirements for her/his last degree within the calendar year of applying.

The award will be given to the student, or split between student team members if the team consists of multiple students up to a maximum of three. If the software was created by a team, the contribution of the student(s) must be substantial. Submissions will be accepted December 1–15.
