Description
The Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) and the Society of Actuaries Research Institute’s Committee on Knowledge Extension Research (CKER) jointly run the 2027 Individual Grant Competition. The program supports the advancement of knowledge in actuarial science through theoretical or empirical research. Its central selection priority is the potential significance of the proposed work’s contribution to the field.
The competition welcomes individuals and teams drawn from academia, actuarial practice, and partnerships between the two. Academic–practitioner partnerships are encouraged, including for practitioners whose proposed research is outside their employment. This is the sole solicitation for the competition: one application submits a proposal to both organizations, and each organization may award grants.
