The ISIB will be 7 weeks: instruction will be through case based instruction of real biomedical research; computer laboratory training; projects; and clinical and translational research enrichment activities.

Coursework will focus on clinical trials, translational research and models used in the analysis of biomedical studies. In addition, the course will serve as a fundamental building block for students to understand the field of biostatistics. Information on opportunities such as scholarships, training grant programs, and assistantships in Biostatistics and Public Health will be presented to students. Students are encouraged to apply to continue their studies in a biostatistics graduate program.
