 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Boston University (BU) proposes an intensive six-week program entitled the `Boston University Summer Institute for Research Education in Biostatistics (BU SIREB) based on a comprehensive curriculum that includes biostatistical analysis, epidemiological analysis, design and analysis of clinical trials, statistical genetics/genomics, and statistical computing. The curriculum is rigorous and interspersed with current examples that highlight the relevance of biostatistics with particular emphasis on recent trends including biomedical big data and high performance computing, and it is designed to interest undergraduates, recent graduates and early graduate students from across the US in the many exciting opportunities in the field of biostatistics. Our faculty is enthusiastic and committed to the program, as are our panel of outside speakers who are practicing biostatisticians and epidemiologists from academia and industry, and physician researchers working on important highly-publicized studies such as the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's (NHLBI) Framingham Heart Study and Jackson Heart Study. Strong institutional support from BU provides an infrastructure to support all aspects of student life during the program. The typical daily schedule will include a morning lecture followed by hands-on instruction in the SAS and R programming language in a computer classroom. After lunch at the BU dining facilities participants will return to the computer classroom to either complete short assignments relevant to the lecture content or to work in small groups on a research project. The research project will span the entire program and will deeply engage students with a research mentor as the students choose of one several provided data sets, determine a research question, develop an analysis plan, conduct the analysis, and synthesize and present results. The daily schedule will also be interspersed with guest lectures (who typically eat lunch with the students to provide additional opportunity for informal communication) and site visits (e.g. to the Framingham Heart Study). BU has run a six-week intensive Summer Institute for training in Biostatistics (SIBS) funded by NHLBI since 2003 (T15 HL075881; T15 HL097791). As of the date of this proposal, 11 sessions have been completed during the months of June and July of 2004 through 2014 and the 12th session is scheduled for June 8-July 17, 2015. Our track record is very strong. We successfully maintain steady contact with over 90% of our prior BU SIBS (2004-2014) students and over 70% of our BU SIBS alumni have either entered into graduate programs in biostatistics or taken jobs in the field. Our experience in planning and implementing our successful BU SIBS programs will enable us to rapidly implement the new BU SIREB program, maintaining many proven aspects of our past program while introducing new elements such as the emphasis on biomedical big data and a more in depth research experience.

 描述（由申请人提供）： 波士顿大学（BU）提出了一个为期六周的密集计划，名为“波士顿大学暑期研究教育学院生物统计学（BU SIREB）的基础上，包括生物统计分析，流行病学分析，临床试验的设计和分析，统计遗传学/基因组学和统计计算的综合课程。该课程是严格的，并穿插当前的例子，突出生物统计学的相关性，特别强调最近的趋势，包括生物医学大数据和高性能计算，它的目的是感兴趣的本科生，应届毕业生和早期研究生来自美国各地的许多令人兴奋的机会在生物统计学领域。我们的教师是热情和致力于该计划，因为是我们的外部发言人谁是执业生物统计学家和流行病学家从学术界和工业界，和医生研究人员工作的重要高度宣传的研究，如国家心脏，肺和血液研究所（NHLBI）心脏研究和杰克逊心脏研究。从BU强大的机构支持提供了一个基础设施，以支持学生生活的各个方面在程序。典型的日常日程安排将包括上午的讲座，然后在计算机教室中进行SAS和R编程语言的实践教学。在BU用餐设施午餐后，参与者将返回计算机教室，要么完成与讲座内容相关的简短作业，要么以小组形式进行研究项目。该研究项目将跨越整个计划，并将深入参与学生与研究导师作为学生选择一个几个提供的数据集，确定研究问题，制定分析计划，进行分析，并综合和目前的结果。每天的日程安排也将穿插客座讲座（通常与学生共进午餐，为非正式交流提供额外的机会）和现场访问（例如，心脏病研究）。自2003年以来，BU举办了为期六周的生物统计学（SIBS）强化暑期培训班（T15 HL 075881; T15 HL 097791）。截至本提案提出之日，2004年6月和7月至2014年已完成11届会议，第12届会议定于2015年6月8日至7月17日举行。我们的业绩记录非常好。我们成功地保持与我们的前BU SIBS（2004-2014）学生的90%以上的稳定联系，我们的BU SIBS校友的70%以上已经进入生物统计学研究生课程或在该领域的工作。我们在规划和实施成功的BU SIBS计划方面的经验将使我们能够快速实施新的BU SIREB计划，保持我们过去计划的许多成熟方面，同时引入新的元素，例如强调生物医学大数据和更深入的研究经验。
