Health Policy Statistics Section Sponsors Student Paper Competition
The Health Policy Statistics Section of the American Statistical
Association announces a competition for student and postgraduate papers
to be presented at the Joint Statistical Meetings in 2001. Winners of the
competition will receive a subsidy of up to $500 for actual expenses to
support their attendance at the JSM in Atlanta on August 5-9, 2001. They
will present their papers at a session of the meeting and will be
recognized at the Section's business meeting.
Current undergraduate or graduate students at any level, as well as
those graduating in 2000 who wish to present research they conducted as
students, are eligible to participate. Up to four prizes will be
awarded.
Papers entered in the Student Competition should involve a
methodological innovation or a creative application of statistical
analysis to an issue in health policy. Research for the submitted
papers does not have to be complete, but competitors will submit an
abstract prospectus describing the planned research, including the
nature of the intended innovations.
Applications should include (1) a cover letter including name, current
affiliation and status, and contact information (address, telephone,
e-mail) of the applicant, (2) an abstract of up to 300 words, (3) a
draft paper if available, or otherwise a 3-page research prospectus,
and (4) a letter from the adviser certifying student status (or
completion of degree within the past year) and describing plans for the
completion of the research. Applications must be received by November
30. Winners will be notified in early January and must register for the
meetings by January 31. For further information or to apply, contact
