The Environmental Statistics competition seeks to increase understanding of the physical and human dimensions of environmental policies and issues by supporting the development of innovative statistical methods and models for environmental research. Although primarily geared to the statistical sciences, this competition invites proposals from qualified researchers across the statistical, social, behavioral and physical sciences. Because problems in environmental research are complex and often require a deep understanding of both the substantive issues and possible statistical approaches, multidisciplinary collaborations involving statisticians and researchers from the social, behavioral and physical sciences are especially welcome.
Preference is given to advanced doctoral students, non-tenured faculty, and unaffiliated scholars.

The collections will support a broad range of inquiry including topics in art conservation, business history, family history, the history of travel and tourism, the history of laboring, middle and upper classes, and the uses of popular memory and the representation of the past.
