American Statistical Association, Ağustos 2025
The Educational Ambassador Program is an American Statistical Association (ASA) outreach effort launched in 2005 by the late Martha Aliaga and the Committee on International Relations in Statistics (CIRS) to foster international collaboration and enhance statistics education worldwide. Each year, the program funds one ambassador from a country with demonstrated need, where there is a clear benefit to the country (often but not exclusively a developing country) to attend Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) and to take continuing education (CE) courses in emerging areas of research. Candidates are required to have a postgraduate degree (PhD preferred but not required) in biostatistics or statistics and an interest in teaching and disseminating information. After attending CE courses, within the next year, the Educational Ambassador will teach and disseminate information in their country and/or region related to the subject matter covered in at least one CE course to at least 10 students.
