Each year the Statistics Section presents three awards to Section members who have made outstanding contributions to statistics and public health. Each award winner is chosen from a different membership population representing ffiliations with academia, government, and industry/non-governmental organizations.
Since 1970, the Statistics Section of the APHA has presented the Mortimer Spiegelman Award to an outstanding public health statistician under age 40. The award serves three purposes: to honor the outstanding achievements of both the recipient and Spiegelman, to encourage further involvement in public health of the finest young statisticians, and to increase awareness of APHA and the Statistics Section in the academic statistical community.
