Department of Biostatistics 
Training Program in Cancer Research
Overview
The Biostatistics Training Program in Cancer Research at the University
of Michigan provides support for pre-doctoral training at the interface
of Biostatistics and Cancer research under support from the National
Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health.
The Program, which began
in 2002, will support four trainees each year. Training support may
be between two and four years. United States citizens and permanent
residents are eligible to apply. Trainees can be new applicants to the
Biostatistics graduate program or continuing Michigan students at any
stage in their graduate studies. Trainees from other departments (e.g.
Statistics and Epidemiology) can be considered. Trainees are expected
to enroll in, or have the eventual intention of enrolling in the Ph.D.
program.
Trainees are expected to
undertake a curriculum of coursework in Biostatistics and Cancer, learn about the science of cancer and
become involved in cancer research projects.
Pre-doctoral trainees are
provided with full tuition (two semesters) and a stipend ($24, 202.00
in 2007-2008) each year. Trainees also receive travel funds towards
attendance at a scientific meeting. |
