Student Dissertation Workshop on Epidemiological Methods
June 22(eve) - 23, 2010Seattle, Washington
SER is seeking applications from students who want to participate in a workshop on epidemiologic methods related to their dissertation research. The workshop will be held immediately preceding the 43rd annual SER meeting (June 23-26, 2010). Mary Haan, SER President-Elect from University of California, San Francisco, Epidemiology Department, is the workshop coordinator. Four additional faculty members with expertise in epidemiology, biostatistics, and various substantive areas will con-duct the workshop.
The workshop meets the evening of June 22 and all day the 23rd. There is intensive interaction between students and faculty at the workshop. Before the workshop meeting, students will present their work online and receive comments from participating faculty and students. The project must be in progress and not completed so that the workshop may affect how the project is actually conducted. Cancer epidemiology is a focus of the workshop but papers on other topics are acceptable.
The 12 students selected for participation will receive a fellowship to cover the cost of travel, three days per diem, and registration fees for the SER meeting. Students from under-represented racial and ethnic groups are particularly encouraged to apply. Only doctoral students in epidemiology are eligible. An application form can be downloaded from www.epiresearch.org/studentwkshp.pdf. Further Instructions are on the website.
