NSF Statistics and Probability Program Directors

摘要

Below is a list of statistics and probability program directors at NSF. In 1974-1975, Bruce Trumbo became the first statistician to serve as a program director. (That year, he was actually an associate program director.) Until 1979, statistics was part of the Applied Mathematics Program and probability was part of the Modern Analysis & Probability Program. In 1979, the Statistics and Probability Program was formed. In the list that follows, the program director's home institution is listed in the year he or she became a program director. In the last year he or she served as a program director, I included moves from that home institution, if there were any.
