HPSS Student Paper Competition
The Health Policy Statistics Section (HPSS) of the American Statistical Association (ASA) cordially invites submissions for our student paper competition at the 2025 Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM). The award for the HPSS student paper competition offers an excellent opportunity for students to showcase their research, gain recognition, and kick-start their professional careers. HPSS has consistently received high-quality submissions. If you have a teaching or mentoring role, please bring this opportunity to the attention of your students and encourage them to apply.
