Award for Statistical Excellence in the Pharmaceutical Industry
We are now accepting entries for the 2025 award
The award for statistical excellence in the pharmaceutical industry is made jointly with Statisticians in the Pharmaceutical Industry (PSI) every year.
The aim of the award is to recognise a piece of work which has influenced the application of an existing statistical practice, or an innovation, that has strengthened the quality and efficiency of investigations in the pharmaceutical industry.
