● Introduction

The American Statistical Association is a professional organization dedicated to promoting the practice and profession of statistics, with members from Academia, Industry, and Government, including National Center for Health Statistics, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and Federal Reserve. The organization was founded in 1839 by Richard Fletcher, John Quincy Adams, and other prominent statisticians, with the goal of advancing the field of statistics and promoting its application in social sciences, natural sciences, and engineering, as recognized by American Society for Quality, Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences, and Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. The American Statistical Association has a diverse membership, including researchers from University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as practitioners from Google, Microsoft, and IBM. The organization publishes several journals, including Journal of the American Statistical Association, Technometrics, and Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics, which are also supported by American Mathematical Society, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and Association for Computing Machinery.

● History

The Fellowship program was established by the American Statistical Association in 1914 to recognize outstanding contributions to the field of statistics, as acknowledged by Nobel Prize winners such as Ragnar Frisch, Jan Tinbergen, and Milton Friedman, who have also been recognized by Econometric Society, American Economic Association, and National Bureau of Economic Research. The first Fellows were elected in 1914 and included prominent statisticians such as Karl Pearson, George Udny Yule, and Corrado Gini, who were also members of Royal Society, Accademia dei Lincei, and French Academy of Sciences. Since then, the Fellowship has been awarded annually to individuals who have made significant contributions to the field of statistics, including David Cox, Bradley Efron, and James Heckman, who have also been recognized by University of Chicago, California Institute of Technology, and Carnegie Mellon University. The Fellowship is considered a prestigious honor, with past recipients including Nobel laureates such as Trygve Haavelmo, Lawrence Klein, and Robert Engle, who have also been recognized by Sveriges Riksbank, Bank of Sweden, and Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

● Eligibility_and_Nomination

To be eligible for the Fellowship, individuals must be members of the American Statistical Association and have made significant contributions to the field of statistics, as recognized by National Academy of Medicine, National Academy of Engineering, and Institute of Mathematical Statistics. Nominees must be proposed by at least two members of the American Statistical Association, including University of Michigan, University of California, Los Angeles, and University of Wisconsin-Madison. The nomination process typically begins in the fall, with a deadline for submissions in the winter, as announced by American Statistical Association and supported by National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and Census Bureau. A committee of Fellows reviews the nominations and selects the new Fellows, who are then announced at the annual Joint Statistical Meetings, which are also sponsored by Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences, American Society for Quality, and Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
