Mathematical Sciences: On-Site Research to Advance Industrial Quality and Productivity

由美国国家科学基金会和美国国家标准与技术研究院（NIST）联合赞助的一个名为“提高工业质量和生产力的现场研究”的奖学金项目即将成立。美国统计协会将管理该计划，而NIST作为主办机构。该计划旨在通过组建由工业、学术和NIST统计学家和工程师组成的研究团队，弥合工业、学术界和政府在质量保证工作方面的差距。研究员可能从事的研究领域包括工业实验的统计设计、过程控制、先进制造系统的研究、工程和工业统计的计算，以及制造过程控制的校准。

A fellowship program entitled "On-Site Research to Advance Industrial Quality and Productivity" is to be established, jointly sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The American Statistical Association will administer the program while NIST acts as the host agency. This program is designed to bridge gaps between quality assurance efforts in industry, academia and government through the formation of research teams of industrial, academic, and NIST statisticians and engineers. Possible areas of research for Fellows are statistical design of industrial experiments, process control, studies of advanced manufacturing systems, computing for engineering and industrial statistics, and calibration for manufacturing process control.
