The Causality in Statistics Education Award is aimed at encouraging the
teaching of basic causal inference in introductory statistics courses.
Donated by Judea Pearl, the prize is motivated by the growing importance
of introducing core elements of causal inference into undergraduate and
lower-division graduate classes in statistics.
A gift from Microsoft Research will enable the prize to double in
2015, so there will be one $10,000 prize or two $5,000 prizes. For
additional information, see

Nominations and questions should be sent to the ASA office at
educinfo(a)amstat.org <mailto:educinfo@amstat.org>. The nomination
deadline is February 15, 2015.
