Ian MacNeill Award

The Graduate Programs in Public Health is pleased to announce the new Ian MacNeill Award.  The award was established to recognize the work of a Tufts’ health sciences or public health student who, in the opinion of the faculty, has demonstrated an outstanding ability to analyze and interpret, display and communicate critical information derived from research data. This award honors the work of Dr. Ian MacNeill, Emeritus Professor in Statistics who, through his academic career, has been setting the standard for research and scholarship in applying analytical tools in the public health sciences.

The Ian McNeill Award will be given annually to the student whose work as judged by the selection committee satisfies at least two of the following three criteria:

- Demonstrates an innovative application of analytic techniques to public health data thereby leading to new insights and conclusions,
- Makes effective use of unusual data sources,
- Demonstrates the use of innovative communication tools and data visualization techniques to successfully deliver public health information to a particular audience.
