Hello, members. You will recall our recognition of David Cox back in 2022. In his memory, another new and innovative program that has been developed is the David Cox Medal for Statistics, which will be awarded for the first time in 2025. The IBS is a key stakeholder in this program. The award will recognize mid-career individuals, with an age limit of 50 (with exceptions made for mitigating circumstances such as career breaks). Awardees’ research will need to be original, with conceptual depth and novelty, moving the field or a substantive application area forward. The David Cox Medal for Statistics commemorates the pioneering statistical work of Sir David Cox in the fields of statistical theory, methodology and applications. Three medals will be awarded every three years by the RSS in partnership with the American Statistical Association (ASA), the Bernoulli Society, the International Biometric Society (IBS), the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS) and the International Statistical Institute (ISI). The deadline for nominations is 31 October, 2024. For a copy of the nomination form, click here. I would personally like to recognize Society member Ruth Keogh for agreeing to serve on the Prize Committee, and also past IBS President Tom Louis for volunteering to serve on the Search Committee.
