Statistics Research Funding

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 created in 1997 by an endowment established by professor emeritus Acheson Duncan at the time of his death. Faculty and students throughout Hopkins are eligible to apply for funding for collaborative projects with a member of the faculty in the Applied Mathematics and Statistics Department. Most grants will be less than $5,000.

Among the items eligible to be funded are travel to research conferences and workshops, computer equipment and software, matching funds for grant proposals, short-term visits of collaborators to Hopkins, interdepartmental seminars, partial support for research assistants and seed money for new research.

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 Wierman, Applied Mathematics and Statistics Department, 302 Whitehead Hall.

 

Change for Hopkins Children's

That spare change rattling around in your desk drawer, coat pocket and backpack can add up to real dollars to help care for the young patients and their families at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center.

Anyone wanting to become a change gatherer or contributor in "Change for Change," part of the annual Mix 106.5 FM Radiothon to benefit the center, can receive a free kit by contacting Marisa Jaffe, 410-516-7495 or mjaffe5@jhmi.edu. The person who collects the most money by the start of the Radiothon, Thursday, Feb. 28, wins a free lunch and the chance to be on the air with JoJo Girard and Reagan Warfield on Sunday, March 2.
