The Boston University Summer Institute in Biostatistics and Data Science (SIBS) is an intensive program designed for undergraduates and recent graduates interested in applying quantitative methods to health issues. Participants learn principles of applied biostatistics and data science from experts, gaining hands-on experience with real-world health data from studies like the Framingham Heart Study and the Jackson Heart Study. The curriculum includes interactive classroom presentations, hands-on computer training in SAS and R, and short assignments to apply daily learnings. Students work with professors and graduate students on group research projects, culminating in a virtual presentation. The program also features guest speakers from academia, industry, and government, and career panels with former SIBS participants, providing insights into graduate study and career opportunities in this critical field.
Mornings consist of interactive classroom presentations and hands-on computer training in SAS and R. Afternoons involve short assignments applying learned concepts, working with professors and graduate students on real data, and initiating group research projects.
The program is ideal for undergraduate students or recent graduates with an interest in mathematics, statistics, biology, or health sciences who want to learn how to apply methods to investigate important health issues.
