SAS/IIF Grant to Promote Research on Forecasting

For the eighth year, the IIF, in collaboration with SAS®, is proud to announce financial support for research on how to improve forecasting methods and business forecasting practice. The awards will be (2) two $5,000 grants. Applications should be submitted to the IIF Office by September 30, 2010. For more information on this grant opportunity, click here.

This grant was created in 2002 by the IIF, with financial support from the SAS® Institute, in order to promote research on forecasting principles and practice. The fund provided amounts to US $10,000 per year, which is divided to support research in the two basic aspects of forecasting: development of theoretical results and new methods, and practical applications with real-world comparisons.

In the first cycle (2003-2004) three projects were supported by the grant. Since then, only two research projects per year have received support.
