Annually, the Teaching of Statistics in the Health Sciences Section offers the Young Investigator Award, Outstanding Teaching Award, Distinguished Achievement Award, and the Best Contributed Paper at JSM Award. Nominations are now open for the following three awards:
The Young Investigator Award recognizes a promising “young investigator” for their promise as a statistics educator or in conducting statistics education research in the health sciences. A young investigator is defined as a current graduate student or a recent graduate who received their terminal degree no more than seven years ago and is in a position with rank below associate professor and does not hold tenure (or equivalent classification).
The Outstanding Teaching Award recognizes an outstanding statistics educator and mentor in the health sciences.
The Distinguished Achievement Award recognizes a section member who has provided outstanding long-term service to the section and ASA.
The first two of these awards carry a $250 cash prize, while the third carries a $500 cash prize.
The deadline for nominations is May 15. Any inquiries and all award nominations should be submitted via email.
