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" is scheduled for 12:15-1:45 pm on Sunday, August 6 in CC-707. This meeting has been very well attended in past years and I hope that you'll be part of it this year.
The speakers invited so far are the following:
- Yong Zeng and Yulia Gel, NSF Division of Mathematical Sciences and Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships. Slides for DMS; Slides for TIP.
- Susan Gregurick, Associate Director for Data Science and Director of the Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS), NIH. Slides
- Joel Hunt, Senior Computer Scientist, National Institute of Justice. Slides.
- Kate Calder, Chair, CFR; and Chair, UT Austin Department of Statistics. Slides.
If you have suggestions for funding for agencies/divisions not covered above, please let CFR Committee Chair Kate Calder 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.
