NISS has two awards given each year, the Jerome Sacks Award recognizing sustained, high-quality cross-disciplinary research involving the statistical sciences and the Distinguished Service Award to recognize individuals who have given extraordinary service that significantly advances NISS and its mission.

Jerome Sacks Award for Outstanding Cross-Disciplinary Research

Created on Apr 30, 2009

The NISS Board of Trustees established the Jerome Sacks Award for Cross-Disciplinary Research in 2000 to honor Sacks' service as the founding director of NISS. The annual prize of $1,000, presented at the NISS JSM Reception, recognizes sustained, high-quality cross-disciplinary research involving the statistical sciences.

NISS Distinguished Service Award

Created on Mar 6, 2009

The NISS Distinguished Service Awards were established by the Board of Trustees in 2005 to recognize individuals who have given extraordinary service that significantly advances NISS and its mission. Each year, one or more recipients are chosen by a committee composed of the Vice-Chair of the Board, the chair of the Awards Committee of the Board and the Director. Each receives a memento and has his or her name added to a plaque in the NISS building.
