1_0	The National Institute of Statistical Sciences (NISS) is an American institute that researches
1_1	statistical science and quantitative analysis.
1_2	History
1_3	In 1985, the National Science Foundation funded a proposal by the Institute of Mathematical
1_4	Statistics (IMS) to assess the status of cross-disciplinary statistical research and to make
1_5	recommendations for its future. The IMS formed a panel consisted of twelve members from statistics,
1_6	pure and applied mathematics, chemistry, engineering, computer science, and public affairs,
1_7	including Ingram Olkin (Co-Chair), Jerome Sacks (Co-Chair), Alfred Blumstein, Amos Eddy, Bill Eddy,
1_8	Peter C. Jurs, William Kruskal, Thomas Kutz, Gary C. McDonald, Ronald Peierls, Paul Shaman, and
1_9	William Spurgeon. In 1990, the panel published a report on Cross-Disciplinary Research in the
1_10	Statistical Sciences that led to the founding of the National Institute of Statistical Sciences.
1_11	The National Institute of Statistical Sciences was established in 1990 and located in Research
1_12	Triangle Park, North Carolina by the American Statistical Association, the International
1_13	Biometric Society, the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, Duke University, North Carolina
1_14	State University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and RTI International
1_15	(formerly Research Triangle Institute). Dan Horvitz of RTI became the interim director. Jerome
1_16	Sacks became the founding director in 1991. Alan F. Karr joined NISS as the associate director in
1_17	1992 and became the director in 2000. Nell Sedransk appointed as the associate director in 2005 and
1_18	became the director in 2015. James L. Rosenberger became the director of NISS in 2017.
1_19	In 1993, the first NISS postdoctoral fellows joined. There are now nearly 80 of former NISS
1_20	postdoctoral fellows around the world and in various organizations in each sector: academia,
1_21	government, and industry. Here is a list of notable alumni:
1_22	John Aston, Professor of Statistics at the University of Cambridge
1_23	Adrian Dobra, Associate Professor at the University of Washington
1_24	Shanti Gomatam, Mathematical Statistician at U.S. Food and Drug Administration
1_25	Murali Haran, Professor and Head of Statistics at Penn State University
1_26	Jiming Jiang, Professor of Statistics at the University of California - Davis
1_27	Xiaodong Lin, Associate Professor at Rutgers Business School
1_28	Matthias Schonlau, Professor of Statistics at the University of Waterloo
1_29	Minge Xie, Professor of Statistics at Rutgers University
1_30	Haibo Zhou, Professor of Biostatistics at the University of North Carolina
1_31	In 2000, the NISS affiliates program was created to address challenges arising in government and
1_32	industry. In 2005, the NISS affiliates program was recognized by the American Statistical
1_33	Association with the Statistical Partnerships among Academia, Industry, and Government (SPAIG)
1_34	Award.
1_35	In 2002, the Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute was funded by the National
1_36	Science Foundation, and it was partnered with Duke University, North Carolina State University, the
1_37	University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the National Institute of Statistical Sciences.
1_38	From 2011 to 2018, the NISS and Duke University collaborated on the Triangle Census Research
1_39	Network (TCRN), one of eight research nodes that worked on the National Census Research Network
1_40	(NCRN). In 2017, the NCRN was recognized by the American Statistical Association with the
1_41	Statistical Partnerships among Academia, Industry, and Government (SPAIG) Award.
1_42	Jerome Sacks Award
1_43	The Jerome Sacks Award for Outstanding Cross-Disciplinary Research was created in 2001 in honor of
1_44	Jerome Sacks, the founding director of NISS. The following are the winners of the award:
