2023 BDSIL: Data Science and the Public Health Consequences of the COVID-19 Pandemic
June 26-30, 2023 • Kenmore, Washington
Applications due January 8, 2023 at 11:59 PM ET
Join us for the 2023 BDSIL: a unique hybrid program consisting of online team-building activities and a series of scientific presentations that lead-up to an all-expenses-paid, 5-day in-person intensive workshop at The Lodge at St. Edward Park in Kenmore, Washington!
Working under the direction of professional facilitators and the guidance of experienced mentors, teams at this year's event will develop interdisciplinary projects to generate creative strategies on the use of data science approaches for predicting health effects secondary to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the lab will include opportunities for learning about NIH and NSF funding through interaction with program officers.
In the words of BDSIL Director Dr. Jack Van Horn, "We help to encourage interdisciplinary teams, comprised of biomedical and computational scientists, to think differently, spark new ideas, develop novel research projects, challenge themselves, and to be innovative." Junior faculty or late career post-doc fellows from the biomedical fields or the quantitative and data science disciplines are highly encouraged to apply. Priority acceptance will be given to those who apply early, so apply today through the BDSIL website!
