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 new 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 (local students who do not need
housing will receive a $2,500 stipend)
• $600 stipend for incidental expenses
*Application*: check your eligibility and apply here (

applications from students from historically excluded groups.
