Pfizer recently contributed $6,000 to the ASA’s Educational Ambassador (EA) program for 2011. The EA program was launched in 2005 as a means to foster collaboration between the ASA and other international statistical societies for permanent exchanges of knowledge. It has been successful in bringing statistical education to countries and regions in which statistical education receives less-organized support. Pfizer considers this contribution especially worthwhile, since the EA program could help elevate scientific rigor worldwide.

Pfizer also sponsored the JSM 2010 Student Mixer in Vancouver, British Columbia, and will cosponsor the Student Mixer at JSM 2011 in Miami Beach, Florida.

Pfizer is the world’s leading innovation-based pharmaceutical company. It employs a large number of statisticians in several parts of the world. Being a global company driven by research and development, Pfizer places a strong emphasis on cutting-edge science and technology in all areas of discovery, development, and manufacturing of medicines for people and animals.

State-of-the-art science and technology is only possible through advanced education and training at all levels. The EA program is fundamental in contributing to the knowledge necessary to evaluate the value of medicinal products in improving human life.
