Duncan Fund for the Advancement of Research in Statistics requests proposals for small grants to support research projects in statistics, including probability and stochastic processes. The Fund was created in 1997 through an endowment established by the late Johns Hopkins Professor Emeritus, Acheson Duncan, a pioneer in research and the application of quality control and industrial statistics.<\/p>\n<p>Proposals may be submitted only by members of the faculty in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics. Students, alumni, and faculty, including faculty from alternative universities, are eligible for funding with the sponsorship of such a faculty member.<\/p>\n<p>Projects 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 to Hopkins, interdepartmental seminars, partial support for research assistants, and seed money for new research. Most grants from the fund are less than $6000.<\/p>\n<p>Proposals should be brief, preferably no more than one page, and provide itemized expense estimates. Proposals may be submitted at any time. Proposals must be emailed to <a href=\"mailto:ssetzer@jhu.edu\"><span>Susan Setzer<\/span><\/a>, by email (a Word or PDF file attached) or submitted in hardcopy in the department&#8217;s administrative office in\u00a0 S404 Wyman Park Building.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Acheson J.
