The purpose of USPROC is to encourage the development of data analysis skills, to enhance presentation skills and to recognize outstanding work by undergraduate statistics students. There are two main categories for submissions to the competition. The Undergraduate Statistics Research Project competition (USRESP) is a competition for undergraduate students who conduct research projects that are statistically related, either methodological or applied. These projects may include research work from REU research projects, senior capstone research projects, or independent research projects that are not based on a specific course that students are taking. The Undergraduate Statistics Class Project Competition (USCLAP) is for undergraduate students who are taking an applied statistics course(s) at introductory, or intermediate levels, in which a class project is part of the course work (either required or optional). All levels of projects for both competitions are strongly encouraged to apply. Visit www.causeweb.org/usproc for additional details, contact information and a link to submit your project. The submission deadline is May 31 , 2015 with winners announced summer 2015. Cash prizes will be awarded. Also, save the date of Friday, October 2 , 2015 for the first electronic undergraduate statistics research conference where USPROC student winners and others will be able to present their work. Details coming soon.
