NISS-NASS Cross-Sector Research in Residence Program

Research Project

The National Institute of Statistical Sciences (NISS) established a Cross-Sector Research in Residence Program in partnership with the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), the survey and estimation arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This new collaborative venture by NISS and the USDA was the first project of a NISS initiative to host academic-government research teams focused on specific federal agency objectives.
