About the Award
The SPAIG Award was established in 2002 to recognize outstanding partnerships between academe, industry, and government organizations, as well as to promote new partnerships among these organizations. The award is sponsored by the SPAIG committee of the ASA and distinct from other ASA awards in that it recognizes outstanding collaborations between organizations, while recognizing key individual contributors.
Selection Criteria
Nominees must represent at least two of the organizations from academe, industry, or government. Also, their collaboration must have resulted in significant contributions to the statistical field with applications to real-world problems. Examples include publications, presentations at statistical conferences, exchange visits, support for graduate students, consulting jobs, grant support for faculty, and continuing education opportunities for statisticians outside of academe.
Nominations
The nomination form must be filled out, along with supporting documents. Preferably, a single PDF file, including all such materials, may be sent by email to the following address: awards@amstat.org. Please include “SPAIG Award Nomination” in the subject line of the email. Alternatively, a hardcopy of these documents may be mailed to ASA Awards, 732 N. Washington Street, Alexandria, VA 22314, U.S.A.
Nominations are due by March 1 each year, and the award will be presented at the Joint Statistical Meetings during the same year.
