摘要 佛罗里达大西洋大学（FAU）、迈阿密大学（UM）和佛罗里达国际大学（FIU） 我建议在生物统计和数据科学（佛罗里达SIBDS）为期六周的佛罗里达暑期研究所，重点是 与心血管疾病和传染病有关的健康差距。目前，佛罗里达SIBDS将是 美国东南部的第一个SIBDS FAU和FIU都是西班牙裔服务机构（HSI）， 迈阿密大学是一所杰出的私立大学，具有显著的多样性。 佛罗里达SIBDS是创新的：1）它引入了严格的定量职业，主要是西班牙裔和非洲裔- 美国年轻人通过三个不同种族的机构的共同努力; 2）不同的 领导团队和教师在生物统计学，流行病学，健康 经济学、计算生物学、人工智能、机器学习（ML）和大数据分析;以及3）SIBDS学生 将积极参与“通过教学学习”给别人，最终在一个简短的课程，他们将 教一年级的高中生。这种新的伙伴关系方法将解决 通过提供多元化、合格的未来管道，为政府、学术界和工业界的生物统计学家提供帮助 生物统计学家，其中许多人可能没有机会，由于缺乏认识，教育机会， 和金融壁垒。佛罗里达SIBDS将在全国范围内招募136名本科生和早期研究生 学校学生五年以上的必要数学课程和萌芽的兴趣，在健康，而 目标群体通常在生物医学和行为科学中代表性不足;招聘方法 包括社交媒体、网站、专业组织和与行政部门个人联系， 学生影响力。佛罗里达SIBDS将让学生参与一个多方面的，同行和教师指导， 为期6周的强化培训经验，由突出健康差距和社会问题的研究问题驱动 健康驱动因素，使用当前的心血管，COVID-19和HIV数据库。虽然课程 包括基本的，先进的和尖端的统计和数据科学方法， 吸引学生，它还强调科学沟通，协作技能，项目团队合作，社会 互动和职业指导。将使用定量和定性方法来评估同行和 教师和学生每年。外部咨询委员会、教学和评价顾问， 领导团队和学生顾问将利用他们的经验和这些数据为课程提供信息。佛罗里达 SIBDS校友将保留与教师的指导，并在五年后获得修订后的课程 建成

ABSTRACT Florida Atlantic University (FAU), the University of Miami (UM) and Florida International University (FIU) propose a six-week Florida Summer Institute in Biostatistics and Data Science (Florida SIBDS) focused on health disparities related to cardiovascular and infectious diseases. At present, Florida SIBDS would be the first SIBDS in the southeastern United States. FAU and FIU are both Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI) and State Universities, and the University of Miami is a pre-eminent private institution with significant diversity. Florida SIBDS is innovative: 1) It introduces rigorous quantitative careers to primarily Hispanic and African- American young adults through the combined efforts of three ethnically diverse institutions; 2) The diverse leadership team and faculty have unique complementary skillsets in biostatistics, epidemiology, health economics, computational biology, AI, machine learning (ML), and big data analytics; and 3) SIBDS students will be actively involved in “learning through teaching” to others, culminating in a short curriculum they will teach to first year high school students. This novel partnership approach will address the shortage of biostatisticians in government, academia and industry by providing a diverse, well-qualified pipeline of future biostatisticians, many of whom may not have had the opportunity due to lack of awareness, educational access and financial barriers. Florida SIBDS will recruit nationally to enroll 136 undergraduate and early graduate school students over five years with requisite mathematics coursework and a budding interest in health, while targeting groups typically underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences; recruitment methods include social media, websites, professional organizations and personal contacts with administration and student influencers. Florida SIBDS will engage students in a multi-faceted, peer and faculty mentored, intensive 6-week training experience driven by research questions that highlight health disparities and social drivers of health, using current cardiovascular, COVID-19 and HIV databases. Although the curriculum encompasses basic, advanced and cutting-edge statistical and data science methods delivered in ways to engage students, it also highlights scientific communication, collaborative skills, project teamwork, social interactions and career guidance. Quantitative and qualitative methods will be used to evaluate peer and faculty mentors and students annually. An External Advisory Committee, pedagogy and evaluation consultants, leadership team and student advisors will use their experience and these data to inform the curriculum. Florida SIBDS alumni will retain mentorships with faculty and have access to revised curriculums for five years after completion.
