The 12th Summer Institute in Statistics and Modeling in Infectious Diseases (SISMID 2020) will be held online, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

SISMID consists of a series of two-and-a-half day workshops designed to introduce infectious disease researchers to modern methods of statistical analysis and mathematical modeling and to introduce statisticians and mathematical modelers to the statistical and dynamic problems posed by modern infectious disease data.

One of the goals of SISMID is to strengthen the statistical and genetic proficiency and career preparation of scholars from all backgrounds, especially those from groups historically underrepresented in STEM such as racial and ethnic minority groups, low income, first generation college students, veterans, and differently-abled and 2SLGBTQ groups.

Most participants will likely take two or three modules. Graduate students and postdocs are eligible to apply for scholarships. Register now!

Individuals attending the Institute will receive certificates of course completion in recognition of their participation.
