Strategic Initiatives Grant

The ASA Biometrics Section, in collaboration with the ASA Biopharmaceutical Section, provides funding to support innovative outreach projects focused on enhancing awareness of biostatistics for US students. We particularly are interested in projects that will encourage students to pursue advanced training in biostatistics and statistics. This could be a student event, student experience, or other projects designed to help students gain awareness of biostatistics and how they might use it in their future careers. Award recipients must be an ASA member and we strongly encourage joining the Biometrics Section before initiation of the project.

Applications are closed for 2025.  For 2026 expect announcements this summer with applications due September 1, 2026.
