The program goal is to train predoctoral and postdoctoral biostatisticians in statistical theory and methods as applied to environmental health sciences. The training program is a collaboration between the Department of Biostatistics and the Environmental Health Sciences Center in the School of Medicine and Dentistry, and the Department of Statistics. The program offers an integrated collaboration between biostatisticians to provide supervision by biostatisticians with experience in the development of statistical methodology; interaction with researchers with extensive experience in human and animal studies; practical experience in the application of statistical methodology to problems in toxicology by participating in consulting projects and attending colloquia; mentoring of trainees to assist in developing independent academic careers. Ph.D. students must fulfill the standard requirement for the Ph.D. in statistics plus additional courses in biostatistics.
