Abstract:

Over the past 8--10 years, there has been an excellent working relationship between Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). This relationship has been fueled by collaboration between WPI faculty and students and scientists at the NCHS. Most of these students were Master's students, and they worked for a major part of their theses at the NCHS. As a result, many articles have been published in peer reviewed journals, with collaboration from scientists at the NCHS, WPI faculty and students. In this talk, many different features of the collaboration in the WPI-NCHS partnership are discussed.
