Seven Summer Institutes for Training in Biostatistics (SIBS) are scheduled for the summer of 2013. SIBS are open to all US undergraduate and beginning graduate students (US citizens or permanent residents) and are sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the National Center for Research Resources. The programs have been very successful, but space is limited!

The program flyer explains that SIBS is offered at seven sites: Boston University, Columbia University, University of Iowa, North Carolina State University-Duke Clinical Research Institute, University of Pittsburgh, University of South Florida, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Further details are given at the individual websites listed on the flyer.

SIBS introduces quantitatively oriented participants to Biostatistics. Students learn about the applications of statistical methods to biomedical research through coursework and hands-on experience working with real data collected in major clinical studies. Each of the program sites has its own unique features, but they all have a well-conceived, balanced agenda and an outstanding staff of dedicated investigators and professors. No specific training in statistics is required as a prerequisite.

Participants receive college credit that can transfer back to their home institutions. All costs are covered including tuition, housing, and all meals. Students may apply to more than one program, but should accept only one.

We hope that this information reaches interested students majoring in the mathematical, biological, and other sciences, with strong quantitative skills. There is a shortage of biostatisticians world wide, so career opportunities are quite good across many sectors.

We are excited to announce that Missouri State University will be hosting a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (NSF-REU) in Mathematics this summer 2013. Further details are available at

http://math.missouristate.edu/reu

Please encourage your students to apply. We especially encourage women, minorities, persons with disabilities, first generation students, and other underrepresented groups to apply.

We will begin looking at applications on March 1^th.

The  Department of Mathematics at California State University, Fresno   announces its REU in the following areas:  Zeros of Analytic Functions and Algebraic Knot Theory.  For more information, visit their website.

San Diego State University is pleased to invite applications to its Summer 2013 Mathematics Research Experiences for Undergraduates.  The program dates this year will be June 16 — August 10, and the projects will be in combinatorics and algebra, specifically group testing and Hadamard matrices.
Please announce to any interested and qualified undergraduates, as well as to any graduate students interested in helping to lead one of the two project teams.  The program will pay a stipend of $5000 and provide room and partial board for nonlocal participants. For a detailed program description and application instructions/materials, please see the program website:
