The Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies (COPSS) annually presents the Presidents’ Award to honor statisticians under the age of 41 for their outstanding research contributions and service to further the field of statistics.
The Presidents’ Award is typically granted to an individual who has not yet reached his or her 41st birthday. In the special case of an individual who received his or her statistically related terminal degree fewer than 12 years prior to the nomination deadline, that individual will be eligible if he or she has not yet reached his or her 46th birthday during the year of the award. Eligible nominations should include a current curriculum vitae, the nominee’s date of birth, a nomination letter (up to three pages), and up to five supporting letters. Nominations should be sent in PDF format by January 15, 2013, to Raymond J. Carroll, committee chair, at copsspresidents2013@gmail.com.
This award is jointly sponsored by the American Statistical Association, the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, the International Biometric Society (ENAR), the International Biometric Society (WNAR), and the Statistical Society of Canada.
