About the Award

The Biopharmaceutical Section Scholarship Award was established in 2018 by the Biopharmaceutical Section of the American Statistical Association to recognize notable research, academic achievement, and applied project work related to biopharmaceutical statistics. The award will also consider general academic performance, leadership, volunteering, and service. Annually, up to five students will each receive an award of $3,000.

Selection Criteria

Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree and be enrolled in a master’s or doctoral program in statistics or biostatistics.
While membership in the Biopharmaceutical Section is not required; ASA membership is a requirement.
