The Fostering Excellence in Biostatistics Workshop has been held at the annual ENAR Spring Meeting since 1999. This day-long workshop aims to increase the number of quantitatively skilled young scholars from under-represented minority groups enrolling in advanced degree programs in Biostatistics, so as to promote their participation in and contributions to our field. The next workshop is planned for the ENAR 2026 Spring Meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana.
ENAR would like to thank our Fostering Excellence Workshop Sponsors for their continued support.
