ISI-BUDS Funded Summer Program in Biostatistics and Data Science

Are you an undergraduate student who would like to gain hands-on experience in analyzing data collected from biomedical studies to help prevent and treat various diseases? Are you curious about career options and graduate degree opportunities in biostatistics and biomedical data science? If so, UCI is now accepting applications for its Irvine Summer Institute in Biostatistics and Undergraduate Data Science (ISI-BUDS https://www.stat.uci.edu/isi-buds).

ISI-BUDS is a six-week summer program introducing undergraduate students to modern methodology and practice of biostatistics and data science. The program will highlight applications in cutting edge biomedical research, will train students in fundamentals of biostatistics, data science, and computing, and will culminate in a team project co-supervised by statisticians and biomedical scientists.

Support: there are no costs or fees associated with the program. Moreover, accepted participants will be provided with

• up to $500 to cover travel expenses

• free housing that includes a meal plan 

• $1000 stipend for incidental expenses
