Federal Statistics Fellowship Program

该奖项继续NSF对ASA的联邦统计奖学金计划的支持。该计划将促进协作和跨学科研究工作，以开发和推进针对联邦统计机构寻求提供信息的问题的方法论和社会科学研究。该计划为学术学者提供了独特的机会，有"手"访问联邦机构的数据。学术界和机构科学家之间的这些合作将对参与机构收集和传播的数据质量产生积极影响。该计划将有助于为招聘统计学家和其他研究科学家创造一个渠道，以满足未来政府的需求。联邦统计奖学金计划将促进美国人口普查局、经济分析局和劳工统计局的学术研究人员和机构科学家之间的合作。通过该计划，学术研究人员将获得长达一年的支持，与三个参与的联邦统计机构之一的统计学家和社会科学家合作。研究将在这些机构进行，并将利用这些机构现有的数据及其计算设施和工作人员的专门知识。该计划将增加联邦机构科学家接触外部专业知识的机会，从而拓宽他们对所产生数据的分析使用的视角。这项活动得到国家科学基金会和三个参与的联邦统计机构的共同支持。

This award continues NSF support for the ASA's Federal Statistics Fellowship Program. The program will foster collaborative and interdisciplinary research efforts to develop and advance methodological and social science research on issues for which Federal statistical agencies seek to provide information. The program provides academic scholars with the unique opportunity to have "hands on" access to federal agency data. These collaborations between academic and agency scientists will positively impact the quality of the data collected and disseminated by the participating agencies. The program will help to create a pipeline for the recruitment of statisticians and other research scientists to fill future government needs.The Federal Statistics Fellowship Program will facilitate collaborations among academic researchers and agency scientists at the U.S. Census Bureau, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Through this program, academic researchers will be supported for up to one year to work with statisticians and social scientists in one of the three participating Federal statistical agencies. Research will be conducted at these agencies and will take advantage of the data available at the agencies as well as their computing facilities and staff expertise. The program will increase exposure of Federal agency scientists to outside expertise, thereby broadening their perspective regarding analytic uses of the data they produce. This activity is jointly supported by NSF and the three participating Federal statistical agencies.
