NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR COMPLEX DATA STRUCTURES (NICDS) SOLICITS PROPOSALS FOR INAUGURAL WORKSHOPS
(A sample of a previous Call for proposals)

The NICDS is soliciting proposals for inaugural workshops. Proposals should emphasize the development and application of statistical methods for the analysis of data with complex structures. Such data arise in a wide variety of settings including, but not limited to, sample surveys with complex designs, and biological, environmental, medical or industrial studies with longitudinal or hierarchical structures.

Successful applicants must submit a subsequent full proposal for a two-year National project with up to $60,000 in annual support, and with the possibility of renewal after two years. These projects are expected to involve partnerships with substantive scientists, research institutes, government agencies or industry, and should successfully seek other funding during the period of support. Please consult NICDS webpage for detailed instructions, guidelines, an application template and evaluation criteria.

The deadline for applications will be announced shortly and any questions may be directed to Jamie Stafford, the NPCDS director. Applicants are advised to seek assistance in the preparation of their proposal.
