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.
