CAS "Quick Start" Research Grant Program

About this program

The Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) is offering a "Quick Start" Research Grant to support timely property-casualty actuarial research with awards of up to $50,000 and an expedited review process targeting a decision within six weeks. Applicants submit a concise proposal to be reviewed by a CAS research working group; once approved, researchers and reviewers agree on deliverables and deadlines before work begins and the project undergoes CAS’s credibility-building peer review. Funded projects are expected to be published via CAS outlets (Variance, E-Forum, Monograph, or Research Paper), may use CAS confidential datasets as applicable, and must provide code for peer review and open sourcing when relevant.
