<h3 align="left">Re: Summer 2015 Opportunities for
Undergraduate Students for Training in Biostats</h3><p>This is a reminder that applications are still being accepted
for the Summer Institutes for Training in Biostatistics (SIBS).</p><p>
Eight Summer Institutes for Training in Biostatistics (SIBS) are
scheduled for the summer of 2015. 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!
</p><p>The program <a href="http://osixy1.com/p/?_3647-304/1X0HCMEW5-2/_1._ct&_olinkid_=3654e126-7b4c-44df-890b-7e4cf5365c7e" target="_blank">flyer</a>
explains that
SIBS is offered at eight sites: Boston University, Columbia University,
Emory University, University of Iowa, University of Minnesota, North
Carolina State University-Duke Clinical
Research Institute, University of Pittsburgh, and the University of
Wisconsin-Madison. Further details are given at the individual
websites listed on the flyer.
</p><p>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.
</p><p>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.
</p><p>Please
</p><p>1. Forward this message to appropriate faculty advisors and
student groups.
</p><p>2. Print and post the program <a href="http://osixy1.com/p/?_3647-304/1X0HCMEW5-2/_1._ct&_olinkid_=504c67c0-dd10-4789-ac1f-cebbb46fccf9" target="_blank">flyer</a> in an attractive location.
</p><p>We hope that this information reaches interested students
majoring in the mathematical, biological, and other sciences, with
strong quantitative skills. There is a shortage of biostatisticians
world wide, so career opportunities are quite good across many sectors.
We appreciate any assistancein reaching your students. </p><p>For more information, including dates for summer 2015 and
online
applications to individual programs, please visit our program web
