Summer Institute for Training in Biostatistics (T15)
Program Overview
The Summer Institute for Training in Biostatistics (SIBS) Program offers
a comprehensive six-week summer training course on biostatistics with
relevant examples that include data collected in studies of heart, lung,
blood, and sleep disorders. Designed to address a growing imbalance between
the demand and supply for biostatisticians, the course targets undergraduates
who are interested in learning about biostatistics. The program will provide
an intensive introduction to biostatistical approaches and research by
exposing participants to the principles, methodologies, uses, and applications
of statistical methods in biomedical and clinical research. Courses will
be offered during the summer of 2007, 2008, and 2009. The program was
initiated in 2004.
NHLBI supports SIBS programs at Boston University, North Carolina State
University, and the University of Wisconsin. Each program is exciting
with outstanding and dedicated faculty.
