Statistics Research Funding RFPs
The Acheson J. Duncan Fund for the Advancement of Research
in Statistics requests proposals for small grants to
support research projects in statistics, probability and
stochastic processes. The fund was endowed by professor
emeritus Acheson Duncan and created in 1997 at the time of
his death. Duncan was a pioneer in research and
application of quality control and industrial
statistics.
Faculty and students throughout Johns Hopkins are
eligible to apply for funding for collaborative projects
with a member of the faculty in the
Applied Mathematics and
Statistics Department. Items funded might include, but
are not limited to, travel to research conferences and
workshops, computer equipment and software, matching funds
for grant proposals, short-term visits of collaborators,
interdepartmental seminars, partial support for research
assistants and seed money for new research. Most grants
will be less than $5,000.
Proposals should be brief, preferably no more than
three single-sided pages; provide itemized expense
estimates; and be signed by each investigator. Proposals
may be submitted at any time to committee chair John C.
Wierman, Applied Mathematics and Statistics Department, 302
Whitehead Hall.
