The ASA Committee on Funded Research (CFR) is hosting a meeting at JSM for attendees to learn about funding opportunities directly from representatives of funding agencies. "Funding Opportunities for Statistics" is scheduled for 12:15-1:45 pm on Sunday, July 30 in CC-321. Please watch this space for further details of location and confirmed speakers. This meeting has been very well attended in past years and I hope that you'll be part of it this year. 

The speakers lined up so far are the following: 

  • Peter Kozel, NIH Scientific Review Officer, Biostatistical Methods and Research Design Study Section (BMRD), to speak on BMRD and NIH peer review.  
  • Nandini Kannan, NSF Division of Mathematical Sciences, slides 
  • Frederica Darema, Director, Air Force Office of Scientific Research 
  • Brian Sandberg, DARPA, slides
  • Abera Wouhib, National Institute of Mental Health (NIH), slides
  • Q&A

If you have suggestions for funding for agencies/divisions not covered above, please let CFR Committee Chair Ming-Wen An know. 

Each representative will speak for approximately five to seven minutes to speak with each presentation to be followed by five to ten minutes of questions for that speaker.

The ASA Committee on Funded Research also sponsors the ASA Community Group Funding Opportunities where solicitations for various funding opportunities are circulated. You can join the group here. See also their webpage listing funding sources and advice. You can learn more about the Funding Opportunities group in this August 2014 Amstat News article: Funding Opportunities Group Enters Second Year. See also Funding Opportunities Timeline, a blog entry of recurring solicitation deadlines of possible interest to statisticians.
