Florida Summer Institute in Biostatistics and Data Science (SIBDS) 2025
Have you ever wondered how data are used to make your life better? Any thought as to why COVID-19 affects certain populations more than others? What are clinical trials, why are they important, and how do we interpret evidence?
If you are an undergraduate student or early graduate with a curious mind, sense of justice, and some statistics, math, technology, biology and/or health science coursework, you are eligible for Florida’s Summer Institute in Biostatistics and Data Science Program (SIBDS). SIBDS is a Training Program funded by NIH. It will take place at Florida Atlantic University (FAU), Boca Raton campus from May 19th through June 27th, 2025, with faculty from FAU, University of Miami, and Florida International University. Students enrolled will be housed at FAU unless they live close by, and will receive a stipend (not a salary) to cover most expenses.
Participation in SIBDS will provide great hands-on experience in conceptualizing research questions, determining and executing appropriate analyses, and interpreting results from one of three Projects that use real data. You will also receive training in scientific communication, research ethics, career prospects, and opportunities to network with faculty and students. Please join us and you’ll see why in 2023 Forbes ranks ‘Data Scientist’ among the professions with the highest job satisfaction, offering competitive salaries, limitless opportunities, and a healthy work-life balance. Training in biostatistics and data science provide you with the tools to help change the world!
