The Clifford C. Clogg Award is given in recognition of the distinguished work in population statistics. The award is sponsored by the Population Association of America in association with the Population Research Institute of the Pennsylvania State University. The award is to honor population professionals for innovative contributions to the design, collection, modeling, or analysis of population survey or census data. The award commemorates the contributions of Clifford C. Clogg, a renowned expert in quantitative methods and labor force demography at the Pennsylvania State University. He made creative contributions to census and survey design and data collection systems through his work with the National Academy of Science panels, Population Association of America committees, and the U.S. Bureau of the Census. His scholarship included work on the analysis of rates, standardization methods, latent structure analysis, and the modeling of categorical data. Through his teaching and numerous workshops worldwide, he left a legacy as a mentor to the discipline in population statistics.
