The Consortium for the Advancement of Undergraduate Statistics Education (CAUSE) in conjunction with the American Statistical Association via a member initiative grant is accepting applications for its sixth annual undergraduate statistics project competition (USPROC). The purpose of USPROC is to encourage the development of data analysis skills, enhance presentation skills, and recognize outstanding work by undergraduate statistics students.
There are two main categories for submissions to the competition:
The Undergraduate Statistics Research Project (USRESP) competition is for undergraduate students who conduct research projects that are statistically related, either methodological or applied. These projects may include research work from REU research projects, senior capstone research projects, or independent research projects that are not based on a specific course students are taking.
The Undergraduate Statistics Class Project (USCLAP) competition is for undergraduate students taking an applied statistics course(s) at introductory or intermediate levels in which a class project is part of the course work (either required or optional).
All levels of projects for both competitions are encouraged.
Visit the website for details, contact information, and a link for submitting your project. The submission deadline is May 31, with winners announced in the summer of 2015. Cash prizes are available.
Also, save the date of October 2 for the first electronic undergraduate statistics research conference, where USPROC student winners and others will present their work.
