Gottfried E. Noether Awards

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]
