Abstract

Collaboration is essential in our statistics profession and the ASA seeks to encourage and recognize outstanding collaborations. This invited session highlights stories of effective cross-sector partnerships to solve practical problems, advance research, drive innovation, and inform decisions. These partnerships are centered around statistical thinking, enabling knowledge and real-world data sharing as well as educational outreach efforts such as, technical trainings provided by universities, internships in the industry and government sectors, professional development for students, research work leading to dissertations, and consulting opportunities. Panelists are distinguished statisticians and researchers representing academic, industry, and government sectors. They will offer valuable insights and advice on how cross-sector partnerships can help promote our practice, provide opportunities to cultivate future statisticians as leaders, and discuss strategies to nurture a strong collaborative culture. The panelists will provide diverse perspectives along with examples of successes and challenges so attendees can bring back best practices to their respective organizations.
