 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a proposal to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), from the University of Iowa, in response to RFA-HL-16-017 for a Summer Institute for Research Education in Biostatistics. The ultimate vision of our proposed research education program is to increase the number of undergraduates who enter graduate programs in Biostatistics and to maintain a solid underrepresented minority pipeline into biostatistics graduate programs. The proposal is for the University of Iowa (UI) Department of Biostatistics to recruit a diverse group of 18 trainees each year, from 2016 to 2018, with focus on minority, underrepresented and disadvantaged students who wouldn't have otherwise been exposed to the field of biostatistics, and to train during a seven-week research education program. Recruitment will target rising seniors from colleges and universities without graduate programs or extensive undergraduate education in statistics or biostatistics, graduating senior students with no commitment to a graduate program six months following our research education program, and highly promising juniors with clear vision to pursue graduate degrees in biostatistics. Terminal Master's students in quantitative fields, with a desire to pursue a graduate degree in biostatistics will also be encouraged to apply. Special efforts will be made to recruit a diverse student body, including trainees from groups underrepresented in biomedical research. The curriculum is a four-component model based on instruction; application; exposure; and research. The research education program will be through case-based instruction of real biomedical study, consisting of a classroom didactic course; computer laboratory training; invited speakers; Skype sessions; shadowing sessions; research and clinical and translational research enrichment. As initiation to quantitative biomedical research, trainees will undertake biostatistics-faculty-mentored projects on biomedical research and typically with a biomedical researcher. Students will select from a pool of projects according to their interest, and will be matched to a faculty mentor. Projects will be based on the analysis of biomedical data, and/or the design of a biomedical experiment, and/or the statistical and computational issues associated with big data. The research projects will be presented at a biostatistics final symposium at the end of the training session. Trainees will interact with biostatisticians in academia, industry, the pharmaceutical industry, biomedical researchers, biostatistics graduate students and alumni and others. Guidance on how to successfully prepare for the GRE, how to prepare a successful application and how to apply to graduate schools will be provided.

 描述（由应用程序提供）：这是对爱荷华大学国家卫生研究院（NIH），国家心脏，肺和血液研究所（NHLBI）的一项建议，以回应RFA-HL-16-017的生物统计学研究教育研究所的RFA-HL-16-017。我们拟议的研究教育计划的最终愿景是增加在生物统计学中输入研究生计划并将代表性较低的少数族裔管道保持在生物统计学研究生课程中的本科生的数量。该提案是针对爱荷华大学（UI）生物统计学系的建议，旨在从2016年到2018年招募一个由18名学员组成的潜水员小组，重点是少数群体，代表性不足和不受欢迎的学生，否则他们将不会接触过生物统计学领域，并在为期7周的研究教育计划中培训。招聘将针对大学和大学的崛起，而没有研究生课程或在统计或生物统计学领域进行广泛的本科教育，在我们的研究教育课程后六个月不承诺研究生课程，并且在我们的研究教育课程后六个月不承诺，并且高度承诺的大三学生对在生物统计学中购买研究生学士学位有明确的愿景。终端大师的学生在定量领域， 也将鼓励购买生物统计学研究生学位的愿望。将要做出特别的努力来招募一个潜水员的学生团体，包括来自生物医学研究中人数不足的团体的学员。该课程是基于指令的四组分模型。应用;接触;和研究。研究教育计划将通过基于案例的实际生物医学研究的指导，包括课堂教学课程；计算机实验室培训；邀请演讲者； Skype会议；阴影会议；研究与临床和翻译研究富集。作为定量生物医学研究的主动性，学员将在生物医学研究上进行生物统计学 - 教师仪式项目，通常与生物医学研究人员一起进行。学生将根据自己的兴趣从项目池中进行选择，并将与教师的心理匹配。项目将基于对生物医学数据的分析和/或生物医学实验的设计，以及/或与大数据相关的统计和计算问题。研究项目将在培训课程结束时在生物统计学最终研讨会上介绍。学员将与学术界，工业，制药行业，生物医学研究人员，生物统计学研究生和校友等的生物统计学家互动。将提供有关如何成功准备GRE，如何准备成功申请以及如何申请研究生院的指南。
