The Gottfried Noether awards of the American Statistical Association are conferred annually. They honor the memory of Gottfried E. Noether, an early researcher in Nonparametric statistics.[1] They originate from an endowment donated by Noether's wife and daughter, Emiliana and Monica Noether, with the mission to recognize eminent scholars in the field of nonparametric statistics.[2] [3]
There are two Noether awards each year. The Noether Distinguished Scholar Award goes to a senior researcher, whereas the Noether Early Career Scholar award is for an accomplished young researcher who obtained their PhD at most 8 years before.[4] [5] Both awards are handed out at the Joint Statistical Meetings each year, and come with a cash award of $5,000 for the senior version and $2,500 for the junior one. The awardees then present an invited lecture about their work.[6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
