William (Bill) I. Notz, a professor at The Ohio State University, recently approached the ASA with an offer to fund an award that recognizes the best paper published in the Journal of Statistics Education (JSE) each year.

After serving for three years as editor of JSE and being impressed by the quality of the papers, Notz wanted to encourage still higher quality. Therefore, a committee of six will review the articles published in JSE each calendar year and select a winner to receive a cash prize.

As an additional component, the award will be given in honor of an individual who has made a significant contribution to statistics education, thus honoring two people each year.

“Awards such as this one are a wonderful way to recognize the outstanding contributions of colleagues,” said Ron Wasserstein, ASA executive director. “We are fortunate that, through Bill’s act of generosity, we are able to recognize excellence in statistical education research.”

The award will be given for the first time in the spring of 2011 for papers published during 2010.
