Abstract:
|
The Department of Statistics at Iowa State University started having formal partnerships with industry in 1993 when General Motors asked that the Department offer the MS degree to their employees. This initial partnership led to many other formal and informal partnerships with Business, Industry and Government. This talk will describe the benefits and costs that resulted from these interactions over the past 15 years. The benefits were many so when the Department submitted a proposal for a Research Training Grant in 2005, industry and government partnerships were a central part of the proposal. The majority of this talk will focus on the goals of the RTG grant and the successes obtained thus far. The goals of SPAIG will be apparent in what was proposed and what has been done through this RTG grant.
