NOMINATIONS SOLICITED FOR 2002 JEROME SACKS AWARD

Annual Award Honors Outstanding Cross-Disciplinary Research

The NISS Board of Trustees established the Jerome Sacks Award for Cross-Disciplinary Research in 2000. Created in honor of Sacks’ nine years (1991-2000) of service as the founding director of NISS, the annual prize of $1,000 recognizes sustained, high-quality cross-disciplinary research involving the statistical sciences.

The inaugural award was presented to Professor Elizabeth Thompson of the University of Washington at the NISS reception at JSM 2001 in Atlanta, for her "sustained, high-quality cross-disciplinary research bridging the statisticalsciences and genetics."

The 2002 award selection committee solicits nominations of researchers whose work is cross-disciplinary, sustained and encompasses innovation in the statistical sciences. Preference will be given to work that, in the spirit of NISS, creates new research relationships bridging the statistical sciences and other disciplines. "Nonstandard" achievements, such as patents and software creation, will be considered.

Complete nominations include a current CV or biographical sketch for the nominee, a nomination letter and several supporting letters, and should be sent by April 30, 2002, to:

Alicia Carriquiry, Chair
Sacks Award Committee
Department of Statistics
