Message from Mohsen Hamoudia (IIF President):

 

For the eleventh year, the International Institute of Forecasters, in collaboration with SAS®, is proud to announce financial support for research on how to improve forecasting methods and business forecasting practice. The award for this year will be two (2) $5,000 grants.

The deadline date for applications is September 30, 2013.

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 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.
