DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a national shortage of qualified biostatisticians. This application aims to create an innovative summer program, the Minnesota Summer Institute for Training in Biostatistics (SIBS), aimed at stimulating undergraduate students to pursue careers in biostatistics. The training program will be housed in the Division of Biostatistics, School of Public Heath. Twenty-five trainees will participate in the Minnesota SIBS program in each of three 6-week summer sessions beginning in 2013 and continuing through 2015. The training will include core faculty known for their teaching ability who will present lessons and lead discussions each day, seminar speakers who lead important heart and lung research projects funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), and an active learning computer laboratory where trainees analyze and interpret data analyses they carry out on the landmark Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT) and work in groups to design a study and learn practical and logistical aspects of data collection by using a virtual online world of inhabitants ("The Island"). Field tris are also planned for the trainees to provide opportunities to see how data for clinical studies arise and how biostatisticians in different settings work.

描述（由申请人提供）： 全国范围内缺乏合格的生物统计学家。该应用程序旨在创建一个创新的暑期项目，即明尼苏达州生物统计学夏季培训学院 (SIBS)，旨在激励本科生从事生物统计学职业。培训项目将在公共卫生学院生物统计学系进行。 25 名学员将参加明尼苏达州 SIBS 项目，从 2013 年开始，持续到 2015 年，为期 3 个为期 6 周的夏季课程。培训将包括以教学能力闻名的核心教师，他们每天都会讲授课程并主持讨论；研讨会发言人将领导由国家心肺血液研究所 (NHLBI) 资助的重要心肺研究项目；以及一个主动学习计算机实验室，供学员分析和解释数据 他们对具有里程碑意义的多重风险因素干预试验（MRFIT）进行分析，并通过使用居民的虚拟在线世界（“岛屿”）分组设计研究并学习数据收集的实践和后勤方面。还计划为学员提供现场试验，让他们有机会了解临床研究数据如何产生以及生物统计学家在不同环境中如何工作。
