General Information

The 2012 Summer Institute in Statistics and Modeling in Infectious Diseases (SISMID) will be held 9-25 July 2012 in the South Campus Center of the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. Click on the appropriate menu links to find out more information about the institute.

The Institute consists of a series of two-and-a-half day workshops designed to introduce infectious disease researchers to modern methods of statistical analysis and mathematical modeling and to introduce statisticians and mathematical modelers to the statistical and dynamic problems posed by modern infectious disease data. Prerequisites are minimal, and the modular nature of the Institute enables participants to design a program best suited to their backgrounds and interests. Most participants will likely take two or three modules.

Individuals attending the Institute will receive certificates of course completion in recognition of their participation.

In 2012 there will be two concurrent Institutes in Seattle. Details about the Summer Institute in Statistical Genetics, 9-27 July 2012 are available online at http://sisg.biostat.washington.edu. The Summer Institute in Statistics and Modeling in Infectious Diseases modules are timed such that participants may also register for modules for the Summer Institute in Statistical Genetics. Registration for each Institute is available only online via each Institute’s website.

Registration for each Institute will be available in February 2012, and is only available online via each Institute’s website.
