The National Institute of Statistical Sciences (NISS) is a national organization that works on issues related to information and quantitative analysis. The goal of the NISS New Researchers Network is to create connections among undergraduate and graduate students from different academic institutions and early-career professionals within the NISS Affiliates Program.
The NISS New Researchers Network fosters collaboration and support among early-career statisticians, graduate students and undergraduate students offering resources and opportunities for professional growth. Some of our activities include:
- NISS Capstone Projects
- NISS Writing Workshop
- NISS Virtual Career Fairs
- NISS Graduate Student Research Conference
- Undergraduate Student Guide for Grad School Virtual Series
Under this network, activities are organized to help new researchers tackle challenges of graduate programs and help with their future careers. Students can share their experiences regarding their programs or an internship they did, and webinars and workshops can be organized around topic(s) of interest to them. In addition, we hope that this network will be beneficial throughout the student's career even after they graduate from their programs!
Sign up today and participate in the NISS New Researchers Network! In this network you will be able to attend events specifically geared towards graduate students that are studying statistics, biostatistics and data science. You will be able to network with other students and early-career professionals who will have similar experiences as you through social events, the discussion board, alumni meetings, workshops, and more! There are plenty of opportunities open to you to actively participate in the NISS New Researchers Network, for instance helping organize activities or being an activity leader!

About the NISS CoLab
The National Institute of Statistical Sciences (NISS), an independent non-profit research organization founded in 1990 by the ASA, IBS, IMS, the triangle universities, and others, is excited to announce the launch of the NISS Collaboratory (CoLab). This new initiative will host collaborative events and activities, bringing together NISS Affiliates and partner institutions to work on high-impact cross-disciplinary and cross-sector research. NISS identifies, seeds, catalyzes, and fosters such research in the statistical and data sciences, serving as a neutral, objective expert in delivering critical scientific and public policy research to academia, industry, and government.
CoLab aims to strengthen these efforts by enhancing collaboration and innovation across diverse fields:
- Statistics Serving Society (S3)
- NISS New Researchers Network
- Ai in stAtIstics
- Collaborative Data Science
- Public Health & the Environment
- Visualization
