Better Scientific Software (BSSw) Fellowship Program
? I can't apply for this ("Applicants must be affiliated with a
U.S.-based institution that is able to receive funding from the U.S.
Department of Energy"), but maybe someone here can...(seems like
fellowships are generally given to somewhat more technical/strategic
approaches ("Automating testing in scientific software", "Improving the
reliability and performance of numerical software"), but maybe they'd be
interested in statistical computing?
