Summer Institute for Research Education in Biostatistics and Data Science

The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) seeks to advance its mission by supporting grants to develop, conduct, and evaluate summer courses in the basic principles and methods of biostatistics and data science as employed in biomedical research. The courses will introduce participants to biostatistics and data science for the purpose of attracting new students to the field. The overarching objective is to enhance the biostatistics workforce by training advanced undergraduates and recent graduates, supporting the pipeline for future statisticians and data scientists.
