Sloan Foundation Funding to Enhance Data Science Expertise in Federal Government

摘要

With support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the ASA and its sister societies will sponsor three AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellows in the federal government in each of the next two years. The fellows sponsored by the ASA, American Mathematical Society, Association for Computing Machinery, Institute of Mathematical Statistics, Mathematical Association of America, and Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics will have expertise in data science-particularly causal inference and machine learning-and serve one year in a federal agency or on the staff of a senator, representative, or congressional committee beginning September 2019.
