Subject: Summer Institutes for Training in Biostatistics 2011

   Eight Summer Institutes for Training in Biostatistics (SIBS) are scheduled
   for the summer of 2011. SIBS are open to all US undergraduate and
   beginning graduate students (US citizens or permanent residents) and are
   sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the
   National Center for Research Resources. The programs have been very
   successful, but space is limited!

   The program flyer (http://www.stat.ncsu.edu/sibs/SIBSbrochure_2011.pdf)
   explains that SIBS is offered at eight sites: Boston University, Emory
   University, University of Iowa, North Carolina State University-Duke
   Clinical Research Institute, University of Pittsburgh, University of South
   Florida, Washington University in St. Louis, and the University of
   Wisconsin-Madison. Further details are given at the individual websites
   listed on the flyer.

   SIBS introduces quantitatively oriented participants to Biostatistics.
   Students learn about the applications of statistical methods to biomedical
   research through coursework and hands-on experience working with real data
   collected in major clinical studies. Each of the program sites has its own
   unique features, but they all have a well-conceived, balanced agenda and
   an outstanding staff of dedicated investigators and professors. No
   specific training in statistics is required as a prerequisite.

   Participants receive college credit that can transfer back to their home
   institutions. All costs are covered including tuition, housing, and all
   meals. Students may apply to more than one program, but should accept only
   one.

   Please
    1. Forward this message to appropriate faculty advisors and student
       groups.
    2. Print and post the program flyer in an attractive location.
       (http://www.stat.ncsu.edu/sibs/SIBSbrochure_2011.pdf).

   We hope that this information reaches students with quantitative interests
   majoring in the mathematical, biological, and other sciences. Career
   opportunities for biostatisticians are quite good. We appreciate any
   assistance in reaching your students.
