Committee on Funded Research

The ASA Committee on Funded Research (CFR) is hosting again its annual meeting at JSM for attendees to learn about funding opportunities directly from representatives of funding agencies. "Funding Opportunities for Statistics and Data Science" is scheduled for 12:15-1:45 pm on Sunday, August 4 in CC-G131. This meeting has been very well attended in past years and I hope that you'll be part of it this year. 

So far speakers from the following have been invited: 

• Yong Zeng, NSF Division of Mathematical Sciences.
• Cheryl Eavey, Methodology, Measurement, and Statistics program in the Social, Behavioral and Economic (SBE) Sciences Directorate, NSF.
• Wen-wen Tung, Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure in the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Directorate, NSF
• Alex Uzdavines, PCORI
• Theresa Kim, Health Systems and Pragmatic Clinical Studies Program Office, Division of Behavioral and Social Research, National Institute of Aging, NIH

• Victoriya Volkova, Scientific Review Officer, Analytics and Statistics for Population Research, Panels A and B, Center for Scientific Review, NIH

If you have suggestions for funding for agencies/divisions not covered above, please let CFR Committee Chair Veera Baladandayuthapani 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.
