Description
The Individual Grant Competition is a joint initiative of the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) and the Society of Actuaries Research Institute’s Committee on Knowledge Extension Research (CKER). It supports the advancement of knowledge in actuarial science through theoretical or empirical research. The central selection priority is a project’s potential to make a significant contribution to knowledge in the field.
The competition welcomes individuals and teams of academics, practitioners, and academic–practitioner partnerships. Proposed research should explain its potential use by practicing and academic actuaries, now or in the future. A single application submits the proposal to both organizations, and each organization may award grants.
