Nominations for the Marvin Zelen Leadership Award in Statistical Science are being accepted until November 30, 2018. The annual award honors Marvin Zelen’s long and distinguished career as a statistician and his major role in shaping the field of biostatistics.
The award recognizes an individual in government, industry, or academia, who by virtue of his/her outstanding leadership, has shaped the theory and practice of statistical science. While individual accomplishments are considered, the most distinguishing criterion is the awardee’s contribution to the creation of an environment in which statistical science and its applications have flourished.
The award recipient will deliver a public lecture on statistical science at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health in May 2019 and will be presented with a citation and honorarium.
Nominations should include a letter describing the contributions of the candidate, specifically highlighting the criteria for the award, and a curriculum vita. Other supporting materials would be helpful to the committee.
Please email nominations to Shaina Andelman.
