Synopsis

The Statistics program supports research in statistical theory and methods, including research that leads to applications in any domain of science and engineering. Successful proposals must demonstrate innovation in statistical theory or methods, as well as impact on applications facilitating advancement in science and engineering. The program encourages proposals ranging from single-investigator projects to interdisciplinary team projects.  

Target submission date: Proposals should be submitted to MPS Mathematical Sciences Research Programs solicitation. Target date for submissions is the Second Monday in December.

While proposals are accepted anytime, proposers are highly encouraged to submit by the target date to ensure consideration during the corresponding panel review cycle.

 

Conferences

Proposals for Statistics conferences, workshops, summer/winter schools and similar activities must be submitted to the MPS Mathematical Sciences Research Programs solicitation using the "conference" or “travel” proposal type in research.gov. Proposers should select Statistics as the program of interest. For proposals seeking no more than $50,000, submit at least six months in advance of the conference or workshop date. For proposals seeking more than $50,000, submit at least nine months in advance of the conference or workshop date.
