Re: Summer 2012 Opportunities for Undergraduate Students for Training
in Biostatistics
Eight Summer Institutes for Training in Biostatistics (SIBS) are
scheduled for the summer of 2012. SIBS are open to all US
undergraduate and beginning graduate students (US citizens or
permanent residents) and are sponsored by the National Heart, Lung,
and Blood Institute and the National Center for Research Resources.
The programs have been very successful, but space is limited!
The program flyer
( http://www.stat.ncsu.edu/sibs/SIBSbrochure_2012.pdf ) explains that
SIBS is offered at eight sites: Boston University, Emory University,
University of Iowa, North Carolina State University-Duke Clinical
Research Institute, University of Pittsburgh, University of South
Florida, Washington University in St. Louis, and the University of
Wisconsin-Madison. Further details are given at the individual
websites listed on the flyer.
SIBS introduces quantitatively oriented participants to
Biostatistics. Students learn about the applications of statistical
methods to biomedical research through coursework and hands-on
experience working with real data collected in major clinical
studies. Each of the program sites has its own unique features, but
they all have a well-conceived, balanced agenda and an outstanding
staff of dedicated investigators and professors. No specific training
in statistics is required as a prerequisite.
Participants receive college credit that can transfer back to their
home institutions. All costs are covered including tuition, housing,
and all meals. Students may apply to more than one program, but
should accept only one.
Please
1. Forward this message to appropriate faculty advisors and student
groups.
2. Print and post the program flyer in an attractive location.

We hope that this information reaches interested students majoring in
the mathematical, biological, and other sciences. Career opportunities
for biostatisticians are quite good. We appreciate any assistance in
reaching your students.
