The Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS) sponsors the New Researchers Conference (NRC) every year, which takes place the week before JSM. NRC promotes networking and interaction among new researchers in the field of statistics, biostatistics, and probability, including those who expect to hold tenure-track positions in the near future. Attendees will present their research through a brief expository talk and/or poster, and have the chance to mingle throughout the day. There will be longer talks by senior researchers, and panels on various topics such as publishing, grant applications, collaboration, and mentoring.

Anyone who has received a Ph.D. in or after 2017, or expects to receive a Ph.D. by the end of 2024, is eligible to attend, though participation is by invitation only. Travel (up to $500) and accommodation costs for the participants will be fully covered!
