Award Details
The Statistical Society of Canada recognizes excellence in its community by giving numerous awards every year.
Research-focused awards include:
SSC Gold Medal Award:
- The Gold Medal is awarded to a person who has made outstanding contributions to statistics or probability, either to mathematical developments or in applied work. The award is normally awarded to someone still active in research. The recipient should be Canadian or a permanent resident of Canada, and must have made high quality research contributions to the statistical sciences in Canada; the work justifying the nomination should have been done primarily in Canada in affiliation with the Canadian statistical sciences community. A recipient of the Gold Medal must have been actively engaged with the wider Canadian statistical community and be a member in good standing of the SSC.
SSC-CANSSI Award for Impact of Applied and Collaborative Work
- The Impact Award recognizes outstanding contributions by SSC members in collaborative research and applied work, the importance of which derives primarily from its relatively recent impact on a subject area outside of the statistical sciences, on an area of application, or on an organization. The award, which includes a $3,000 prize sponsored by CANSSI, can be for published collaborative research, for collaboration in applied work (whether published or not) or, more generally, for the impact of a statistician on an organization (e.g., a company or a government agency) or a subject area through their collaborative or applied work.
CRM-SSC Prize in Statistics
- The CRM-SSC Prize recognizes a statistical scientist's excellence and accomplishments in research during the first fifteen years after earning his/her doctorate (or equivalent degree). The award, which includes a $ 3,000 prize sponsored by the CRM, is bestowed upon a Canadian citizen or permanent resident whose work was carried out primarily in Canada.
