DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a application to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), from the University of Iowa, in response to RFA-HL-13-015 for a Summer Institute for Training in Biostatistics. The application is for the University of Iowa (UI) Departmnt of Biostatistics to recruit a diverse group of 18 trainees every year from 2013 to 2015. Recruitment will be targeted to undergraduates from colleges and universities without graduate programs or without extensive undergraduate education in statistics or biostatistics. Special efforts will be made to include trainees from groups underrepresented in biomedical research and the goal is to include a majority of minority students. The Iowa Summer Institute in Biostatistics (ISIB) will be 7 weeks: instruction will be through case based instruction of real biomedical research; computer laboratory training; and clinical and translational research enrichment. Trainees will also undertake a mentored research project on biomedical research with a biostatistics faculty mentor and typically a biomedical researcher. The project will be based on the analysis of original biomedical data and/or or the design of a biomedical experiment. Presentation of the final research project will be at a symposium at the end of the session. Trainees will interact with biostatisticians and other biomedical researchers and graduate students. Guidance on how to apply to graduate school and prepare a good application will be provided. The goal of this proposed program is to increase the number of undergraduates who enter graduate programs in Biostatistics and to establish new pipelines into biostatistics graduate studies.

描述（由申请人提供）： 这是爱荷华州大学向美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）国家心肺血液研究所（NHLBI）提交的申请，以响应RFA-HL-13-015生物统计学暑期培训研究所。该申请是为爱荷华州大学（UI）生物统计系从2013年到2015年每年招募18名学员。招聘将针对没有研究生课程或没有广泛的统计学或生物统计学本科教育的学院和大学的本科生。将作出特别努力，吸收生物医学研究中代表性不足的群体的受训人员，目标是吸收大多数少数民族学生。爱荷华州暑期生物统计学研究所（ISIB）将为期7周：教学将通过基于案例的真实的生物医学研究教学;计算机实验室培训;和临床和转化研究富集。学员还将与生物统计学教师导师和通常的生物医学研究人员一起进行生物医学研究的指导研究项目。该项目将基于对原始生物医学数据的分析和/或生物医学实验的设计。最后的研究项目将在会议结束时的一个专题讨论会上介绍。学员将与生物统计学家和其他生物医学研究人员和研究生互动。将提供如何申请研究生院和准备好申请的指导。该计划的目标是增加进入生物统计学研究生课程的本科生人数，并建立进入生物统计学研究生课程的新渠道。
