This competition is open to all full or part-time graduate and undergraduate students, attending an accredited academic program. The student must be a member of the Section on Risk Analysis or should join the section at the time of the paper submission. The contribution may be a theoretical development or may cover any of the numerous applications of risk analysis, including environmental risk, financial risk, the risk to engineering structures, health risks, risks to defense and national security, etc. Papers that have been accepted for publication are not eligible for the competition. Winners must present their work in a JSM 2024 session sponsored by the Section on Risk Analysis.

    3. A blinded version of the manuscript in #2, which excludes author information or other

      identifying information (PDF-only).

    4. A reference letter from a faculty member familiar with the submitted work, stating the

      student status of the applicant and the publication status of the manuscript (PDF-only).

    Manuscripts should be submitted via a web-form. All entries must arrive by 12pm (noon) EST on December 15, 2023.
