Statistics
NSF funds research in statistical theory and methods, including statistical methods for applications across science and engineering, for eligible applicants through the Statistics Program.
⚑ Program supports both single-investigator and interdisciplinary team proposals. · Eligibility not stated in notice; NSF standard applicant rules likely apply.
This is a general NSF statistics methods program, not a substantive fit for IPPRA’s usual research line in risk perception, warning communication, energy/public opinion, or hazard decision-making. The team could use statistical methods in its work, but this opportunity is centered on basic statistical theory and methods rather than the social-behavioral domains this group typically pursues.

Description
The Statistics Program supports research in statistical theory and methods, including research in statistical methods for applications to any domain of science and engineering. The theory forms the base for statistical science. The methods are used for stochastic modeling, and the collection, analysis and interpretation of data. The methods characterize uncertainty in the data and facilitate advancement in science and engineering. The Program encourages proposals ranging from single-investigator projects to interdisciplinary team projects.
