The Biopharmaceutical Section will offer a scholarship of $1,000 to each of three students in 2019. This award is intended to recognize three main areas of student achievement related to biopharmaceutical statistics: notable research; specific technical achievement; and applied project work. The award, however, also takes into consideration general academic performance, leadership, volunteering, and service.
Eligible applicants must have a bachelor’s degree and be enrolled in either a master’s or doctoral program in statistics or biostatistics. Membership in the Biopharmaceutical Section is not required (though membership is free for students), but ASA membership is required for all applicants.
Students can download an application and find instructions for submitting it on the Biopharmaceutical Section website. All applications must be submitted between January 1 and March 15, 2019.
Applicants will be notified by mid-April 2019 of the outcome of their application.
Winners will be announced in mid-April and included in the ASA awards program at the 2019 Joint Statistical Meetings in Denver, Colorado.
