Abstract:

Every year, Statistics Partnerships among Academe, Industry and Government (SPAIG) committee select a winning partnership for SPAIG Award. This award is a major ASA award presented at the annual JSM, and it is not given to individuals but to institutions whose partnership produced successful outcomes beneficial to both parties. However, there are a limited number of applicants because they do not know how easy it is to apply or are not aware of the award. The purpose of this talk is to study the history and description of the award and to encourage possible candidates to apply for the SPAIG Award. I will talk on how to print out the application form and how to write supporting letters to win the award in 2007, showing some examples of the past winners.
