Boston University School of Public Health
Summer Institute for Training in Biostatistics
Dates: June 7-16, 2010
Application Deadline: May 5, 2010
For the seventh summer, Boston University School of Public Health will be holding their Summer Institute for Training in Biostatistics (SIBS); a six-week program focused on inspiring qualified undergraduates to pursue graduate study in biostatistics. The program is funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Participants will spend their time in Boston learning about biostatistics, epidemiology, clinical trials and statistical genetics from some of the great, award winning professors from Boston University. They will visit the Framingham Heart Study, DM-Stat, Inc. and Harvard Clinical Research Institute. Practicing biostatisticians and clinical researchers from the Boston area will be visiting and speaking to the students over the course of the program. It’s not all work though, we will be enjoying the sites of Boston with trips to the Museum of Fine Arts, Duck Tours, Museum of Science and a trip to Fenway Park to see the World Champion Red Sox.

SREP will use a comprehensive approach focusing on key concepts of public health and will include interaction with mentors who are at the forefront of public health and will stimulate the interest in underrepresented and economically disadvantaged students to consider public health as a career option, SREP activities will be guided by the following principles:
- Eliminate health disparities between minority and non-minority segments of the U.S. population
- Improve public health practices by improving professional preparation of disadvantaged and underrepresented professionals
- Enhance the quality of public health practice by improving the professional preparation of disadvantaged and underrepresented minorities
- Recognize that minority leadership in public health is essential for addressing the myriad of public health efforts directed towards the prevention of disease and the organization of health care systems
- Participate in efforts to collect and analyze data that could characterize and address the adverse health problems in minority and underserved populations
- Recognize that the consideration of socio-cultural and environmental contexts is essential to addressing the needs of minority populations
