Program Description

The program provides training in specialized topics of particular relevance for environmental applications, such as longitudinal analysis, methods for the analysis of categorical data, missing data techniques, and statistical methods relevant to environmental exposure assessment, such as measurement error models. In addition, pre-doctoral fellows participate in an interdisciplinary research project with Environmental Health and Biostatistics faculty during the first summer of support. An important focus of training is the opportunity to collaborate with faculty members on biostatistical research as it applies to environmental health. In recent years, program trainers have placed particular importance on the recruitment of students from underrepresented minority groups.

Stipend and tuition support for this training program is funded through a National Institutes of Health grant (T32 ES007142).
