This
8-week program (June 22 - August 14, 2020) combines workshops in big data
analysis with research experiences in diverse areas of quantitative and
computational biosciences. Supported by grants from NSF, NIH, and the
University of California we can again provide up to 50 student fellowships and
on-campus housing. Previous participants raved about the skills acquired, their
research experience, the academic community and network.
Criteria
for admission are a passion for biological or biomedical research, some
background in quantitative reasoning, math, stats or equivalent, and an
interest to contribute to the diversity and inclusive climate of the UCLA
academic research community. Members of underrepresented groups are
particularly encouraged to apply. We would also like to emphasize that students
may bring their research projects and thus function as catalysts for
collaborations between their primary research faculty (at their own
institution) and specific UCLA faculty.
