With the growing availability of diverse data sources—from clinical records and surveys to multimodal, population-level databases—new opportunities and challenges are emerging for rigorous statistical inquiry.The forum will feature keynote presentations, invited sessions, poster presentations, and working groups addressing a range of topics, including integrating heterogeneous data sources to study maternal health outcomes, developing statistical methods for longitudinal and high-dimensional data, and applying causal inference approaches in maternal and perinatal health.By fostering cross-disciplinary dialogue, the forum aims to identify methodological gaps, highlight best practices, and spark new collaborations that advance both statistical research and its application to improving maternal health. Approximately 100 participants are expected, providing an intimate setting for exchanging ideas and shaping future research directions.HostsNational Institute of Statistical SciencesTDAI, The Ohio State UniversityKeynote SpeakersKeynote Speaker 1:Date: Thursday, October 14, 2026 at 8:45 – 9:45 amJanet Catov, Associate Professor Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, Epidemiology, Clinical and Translational Sciences, University of Pittsburgh, USAKeynote Speaker 2:Date: Friday, October 15, 2026 at 8:00 – 9:00 amBethany Hedt-Gauthier, Professor, Department of Maternal and Child Health and Department of BiostatisticsSponsorsThe Ohio State University:College of Nursing, Martha S.
