Fostering Diversity in Biostatistics Workshop
Sponsor & Expo Vendor Interest Form
This day-long workshop has been held at the annual ENAR spring meeting since 1999 and aims to increase the number of quantitatively skilled young scholars from minoritized groups, enrolling in degree programs in Biostatistics, and promote their participation in and contributions to, the field. To this end, the Diversity Workshop has primarily provided travel support for undergraduates from minoritized groups to attend. Workshop participants also include high school students, current graduate students in (bio)statistics programs, faculty members at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, and Native American Tribal Colleges, who may serve as advisors and/or mentors to the undergraduates, faculty from graduate (bio)statistics programs with collaborations in a variety of biomedical areas, and biostatistical representatives from industry and governmental agencies.
