If you are an undergraduate or early graduate student with a curious mind, sense of justice and some statistics, math, technology, biology and/or health science coursework, you are eligible for Florida’s Summer Institute in Biostatistics and Data Science Program (SIBDS).
SIBDS is a training program funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It will take place on the Boca Raton campus from May 22 through June 30, 2023 with faculty from FAU, University of Miami, and Florida International University. Students enrolled will be housed at FAU unless they live close by and will receive a stipend (not a salary) to cover most expenses.
Participation in SIBDS will provide great hands-on experience in conceptualizing research questions, determining and executing appropriate analyses and interpreting results from three projects using real data. You will also learn skills regarding resume building, networking and scientific communication.
Please join us and you’ll see why U.S. News & World Report ranked ‘statistician’ as the 3rd top business job in 2022.
Complete the application by April 1, 2023 here.
Questions and other correspondence can be emailed to kfreemancostin@health.fau.edu or changl@fau.edu. Please put “SIBDS APP” in the subject line.
