Where: Hilton Baltimore Johnson B
The National Science Foundation invites you to an informal "town hall" meet and greet to engage in a conversation about research, education, and training in Statistics and Data Science.
Michael Vogelius, Division Director, Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS), DMS Program Officers representing the Statistics and Computational and Data-Enabled Science and Engineering programs, and Program Officers from the Directorate of Education and Human Resources (EHR) will be at the meeting to discuss NSF priorities, joint initiatives with other agencies and foundations, and new funding opportunities.
NSF Program Officers are also interested in hearing about:
- Efforts by the statistical community to engage other disciplines, whether quantitative, computational, or the domain sciences,
- Effective methods for communicating the value of Statistics as a discipline that supports all scientific domains,
- Innovative education and training activities at the undergraduate and graduate levels,
- Efforts to increase diversity and broaden participation, and
- New ideas related to these topics.
We look forward to seeing you.
