EAM Awards
Honoring methodologists whose work has shaped the tools the field now relies on.
Recognizing excellence in methodological research
The EAM Awards serve as a cornerstone of our association, highlighting the vital role that methodologists play in the advancement of science. Each award category is curated to reflect the diverse stages of a researcher's journey and the various ways one can contribute to the community — through a groundbreaking paper, a lifetime of mentorship, or a novel statistical approach.
