The program prepares trainees for research careers in the application of biostatistics to environmental health. Trainees receive instruction in basic biostatistical models, such as probability, statistical inference, computing, and data analysis, along with training in specialized topics of particular relevance for environmental applications, such as longitudinal analysis, methods for the analysis of categorical data, missing data techniques, and statistical methods relevant to environmental exposure assessment, such as measurement error models. Training will also be provided through applied course work in environmental health and a regular seminar series. The opportunity to collaborate with faculty members on biostatistical research as it applies to environmental health is a feature of the program.
