Ms. Trang Quynh Nguyen, a PhD student in the department of biostatistics at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, has been awarded the Gertrude M. Cox Scholarship. She was chosen for this award based on her:

• Early research achievements in pursuit of improved statistical methodology related to public health — especially for traditionally underserved populations, as evidenced by several publications,
