DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed training program aims to recruit, motivate, and expose quantitatively experienced undergraduate students to the field of Biostatistics, and to add to the collection of successful programs funded under the previous round ofthe SIBS program. The proposed Atlanta-based program focuses on developing biostatistical concepts to motivate biostatistical skills, in constrast to many existing degree programs for training health professionals (rather than undergraduate students) in the use of particular set of biostastistical skills building from a pre-existing set of concepts and experiences in biomedical research. We do not ignore training in statistical skills, but use concepts to motivate skills and maintain focus on the underiying medical applications. As a result, we use computer software to implement and illustrate the concepts and to derive substantive conclusions from actual data sets (warts and all) thereby training participants to use underlying concepts to drive their search for appropriate skills addressing medical research questions rather than modify an underlying medical question to fit a static set of biostatistical skills. Specific Alms: Through the proposed summer institute and a dynamic collection of award-winning introductory instructors and active biostatistical and medical researchers, we aim to: 1. demonstrate by example that Biostatistics is a challenging and collaborative discipline essential to the proper design, conduct, and analysis in medical research; 2. expose participants to key biostatistical concepts, applications, and software; 3. provide participants with hands-on experience with data analysis, statistical software, collaborative research, scientific writing, and scientific presentation; and 4. provide participants with exposure to experienced NIH-funded biomedical researchers in a variety of fields and settings. RELEVANCE: The training program introduces 20 undergraduate students each year from quantitative and computational fields of study to the area of Biostatistics through a six-week course of instruction, labs, projects, and field trips, with the ultimate aim of increasing their interest and participation in graduate study and future careers in Biostatistics.

描述（由申请人提供）： 拟议的培训计划旨在招募，激励和揭露定量经验丰富的本科生到生物统计学领域，并增加在上一轮SIBS计划中资助的成功计划的收集。拟议的基于亚特兰大的计划着重于开发生物统计学概念以激励生物统计学技能，这构成了许多现有学位的培训卫生专业人员（而不是本科生）的学位计划，以利用特定的BioStastistics技能，从预先存在的一组培养生物医学研究的概念和经验。我们不会忽略统计技能的培训，而是使用概念来激励技能并保持专注于不足的医疗应用程序。结果，我们使用计算机软件来实施和说明概念并得出从实际数据集（疣和所有）中得出实质性结论基本的医学问题，以适合一组静态的生物统计技能。特定施舍：通过拟议的夏季研究所以及屡获殊荣的入门讲师以及活跃的生物统计学和医学研究人员的动态集合，我们的目标是：1。以身作则表明，生物统计学是一项具有挑战性和协作的纪律和医学研究中的分析； 2。将参与者暴露于关键的生物统计概念，应用和软件中； 3。为参与者提供有关数据分析，统计软件，协作研究，科学写作和科学演示的实践经验； 4。为参与者提供在各种领域和环境中经验丰富的生物医学研究人员的接触。相关性：培训计划每年介绍20名本科生，从定量和计算研究领域到生物统计学领域，通过六周的教学课程，实验室，项目和实地考察，最终的目标是增加他们的兴趣和参与在研究生研究和生物统计学的未来职业中。 （抽象的结尾）
