THE 2010 ENAR WORKSHOP "FOSTERING DIVERSITY IN BIOSTATISTICS"On Sunday, March 21, 2010 the Eastern North American Region (ENAR) of the International Biometric Society will be hosting a workshop entitled "Fostering Diversity in Biostatistics". The workshop will provide a forum for discussion of important issues related to diversity and will be held at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside, New Orleans, LA. Themes of the workshop will include career and training opportunities within biostatistics. The workshop will target racial/ethnic groups who are traditionally underrepresented in the field of biostatistics. Undergraduates and faculty from undergraduate institutions are especially encouraged to attend. Through panel discussions, current biostatistics graduate students as well as biostatistics professionals in academia, government, and industry will share their experiences and discuss topics such as mentoring, recruiting, and retaining students in related graduate programs. Thus, in addition to discussion with faculty and students from undergraduate institutions, this workshop provides opportunities to network and exchange ideas with participants from various graduate schools, industry, pharmaceutical companies, and government agencies. Registration is required and lunch will be provided. Students may apply for travel expenses reimbursement up to $550 for transportation, lodging and/or food costs. Please indicate the amount that you would like to apply. Awardees will be notified by the end of January 2010.
