It is my great pleasure to introduce the 2015 ENAR Spring Meeting to be held at the Hyatt Regency Miami, in Miami, FL, from March 15-18. The ENAR Spring Meeting brings together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government, connected through a common interest in Biom- etry. It offers a unique opportunity for learning new exciting methods and software, hearing about interesting and impactful applications, meeting new people (including prospective employers and job candidates), reconnecting with friends, and, this year, getting a break from the cold and snowy winter. The ENAR Spring Meeting only hap- pens through the diligent work of a large number of people who organize and contrib- ute to the program, plan and oversee the meeting logistics, and help with sponsorship – my heartfelt gratitude to all of them. Scientific Program: Through the leadership of Program Chair Mithat Gönen, of Memorial Sloan- Kettering Cancer Center, and Associate Chair Brisa Sánchez, of the University of Michigan School of Public Health, and with contributions from many of you, the Program Committee (with representatives from different ASA sections) has created an outstanding invited program. The sessions cover a wide range of topics of great interest to both researchers and practitioners, such as, data sciences (big data), genomics, clinical trials, neuroimaging, biomarkers, health policy, electronic health records, ecology, and epidemiol- ogy.
