Overview
NISS is the National Institute of Statistical Sciences. It was created in 1990 by national statistics societies and the Research Triangle universities and organizations, with the mission to identify, catalyze and foster high-impact, cross- disciplinary research involving the statistical sciences.

NISS is charged to

Perform and stimulate cross-disciplinary research involving statistics

Confront complex, data-driven scientific problems of national importance

Provide career development opportunities for statisticians and scientists, especially those in the formative stages of their careers.

The parent organizations of NISS include the American Statistical Association, International Biometric Society, the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, Duke University, North Carolina State University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Research Triangle Institute. NISS is governed by a Board of Trustees representing the parent organizations and the statistical and scientific communities.

Research at NISS is project-oriented and directed at solution of difficult scientific problems, with strong feedback to statistical methodology and theory. Support comes from government agencies, industrial research partners, the Research Triangle universities and corporate and university affiliates. Current projects involve over forty senior statisticians and scientists (drawn from universities, industry and government laboratories across the U.S.), seven postdoctoral fellows and fifteen graduate assistants.
