Nominations are sought for the 2019 Statistical Partnerships in Academe, Industry, and Government (SPAIG) Award. The award was established in 2002 to recognize outstanding partnerships between academe, industry, and government organizations, as well as to promote new partnerships among these organizations. The award is sponsored by the ASA SPAIG Committee and distinct from other ASA awards in that it recognizes outstanding collaborations between organizations, while also recognizing key individual contributors.
The award will be presented at the Joint Statistical Meetings in August 2019 in Denver, Colorado.
Selection Criteria
The nominated partnership must be between organizations from at least two of the three sectors: academe, industry, and government. Also, the collaboration must have resulted in significant contributions to the statistical field with applications to real-world problems. Some examples include innovative methodologies or initiatives, new technologies, publications, presentations at statistical conferences, statistical workshops and training opportunities, exchange visits, internship programs, and funding and consulting opportunities.
