faculty members from various departments at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, are designed to broaden participant's understanding of the relationship of biostatistics to human health by providing a snapshot of methods developed and applied to
real research projects in different fields. Participants also gain research experience through small-group research projects directed by faculty and graduate student mentors. At the end of the program, students present their research to the group and to affiliated
faculty. Housing, travel and a living stipend (including meals) are provided for the 6-week program.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
