Applications open for the 2023 Biomedical Data Science Innovation Lab

Apply to the 2023 Biomedical Data Science Innovation Lab: Data Science and the Public Health Consequences of the COVID-19 Pandemic—a unique hybrid program consisting of online team-building activities and a series of scientific presentations that lead up to an all expenses paid, in-person intensive workshop on June 26-30, 2023 at The Lodge at St. Edward Park, Kenmore, WA.

Working under the direction of professional facilitators and the guidance of experienced mentors, teams at the 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. We have a lot more to learn about the short and long-term effects of the pandemic on mental health and secondary physical health outcomes. However, recent data suggest that the secondary health effects of the pandemic were broad and substantial.

The Lab is intended to bring together quantitative and biomedical researchers, with expertise from the mathematical, statistical, basic science, and clinical biomedical fields, to address topics in biomedical data science critical to modeling and predicting when, where, and in what form such secondary effects on public health will occur.

In addition, the lab will include opportunities for learning about NIH and NSF funding through interaction with program officers.

Eligibility

Candidates must be in the quantitative and data sciences or biomedical fields, specifically involving epidemiology, and at the late-stage post-doctoral and early-stage junior faculty levels.
