Fellowships for Graduate Study
The September issue of Amstat News featured Q&As with recipients of National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) postdoctoral fellowships and program officers. This month, we focus on graduate fellowships.
NSF and Eli Lilly Partnering on Internship Program
The Division of Mathematical Sciences at the National Science Foundation and Global Statistical Sciences at Eli Lilly and Company have joined forces to establish an internship program. The 12-week summer program offers an opportunity for NSF’s graduate research fellows in statistics or related fields to gain research and real-world experience at Lilly.
Post-doc Fellowships, Programs, and Opportunities
In an effort to help ASA members interested in finding and funding post-doctoral positions, the American Statistical Association is running a short series about recipients of federal post-doctoral fellowships, program officers, and potential host scientists. For our inaugural piece, we feature Q&As with four members who have received National Science Foundation (NSF) or National Institutes of Health (NIH) post-doctoral fellowships and program officers from NSF and NIH.
ASA Takes Part in Annual Capitol Hill Exhibition
For the fourth consecutive year, the American Statistical Association (ASA) participated in the annual Capitol Hill Exhibition May 7 sponsored by the Coalition for National Science Funding (CNSF). CNSF is a coalition of 130 professional societies, universities, and other stakeholders who work together to support the budget of the National Science Foundation (NSF). The annual event started in 1995.
