Tweedie New Researcher Award
Description
Richard Lewis Tweedie played a significant role throughout his professional career in mentoring young colleagues at work and through professional society activities.

The purpose is to fund travel to present the “Tweedie New Researcher Invited Lecture” at the IMS New Researchers Conference.
