Scholarship applications are now being accepted for the Summer Institute in Statistical Genetics (SISG) and the Summer Institute in Statistics and Modeling in Infectious Diseases (SISMID). Graduate students attending a U.S. college or university are eligible to apply for SISG modules. All graduate students and postdocs are eligible for SISMID scholarships. The application deadline is March 10.
In addition, SISG scholarship recipients will be expected to attend individual meetings with their mentors during the week of July 26-30, as well as roundtable discussions about career planning, publication and grant strategies led by experts in those fields and by SISG alumni.
The goal of Summer Institutes is to strengthen the technical proficiency and career preparation of scholars from all backgrounds, especially those from groups historically underrepresented in STEM such as racial and ethnic minority groups, low income, first generation college students, veterans, differently abled and 2SLGBTQ groups. |
