Quick Start Research Form
The Casualty Actuarial Society’s new “Quick Start” Research Grant Program provides a quick and easy proposal and approval process to expediate funding for projects requiring timely research. Potential funding for qualifying research can be up to $50,000.
Here’s how the process works:
- Complete and submit the research proposal.
- After submission, the appropriate CAS research working group will review the application with the goal of making an acceptance decision within six weeks.
- When the researcher(s) and a review team agree on the final specific deliverables and deadlines, the research commences. The research will undergo the CAS credibility-building peer review process.
- Upon research completion, the project is submitted for publication in Variance or E-Forum, or as a Monograph or Research Paper.
The CAS research program offers several advantages to researchers, including:
- Publicly available research, which bolsters potential readership
- A rigorous and credibility building peer review process
- Datasets that include nearly four million earned exposures for confidential use
- A highly engaged open-source software community
- The future-forward requirement to provide code (when applicable) for peer review and open sourcing.
