The Summer Institute in Statistics for Clinical Research (SISCR) is designed to introduce participants to state-of-the-art methodology for biomedical studies, including clinical trials and observational studies.

Participants choose from a series of one-day and two-day modules and design a program best-suited to their interests. Prerequisites are minimal for most modules. Individuals attending the institute will receive certificates of course completion in recognition of their participation.
