Application Open: Workshop to Increase Diversity in Mathematical Modeling & Public Health

The Workshop to Increase Diversity in Mathematical Modeling and Public Health is an annual event for undergraduates or students in a post baccalaureate program from underrepresented groups who have an interest in public health and/or mathematical modeling, and are studying quantitative disciplines and/or public health at their home institutions.

The workshop will take place March 27-28, 2023 in Boston, Massachusetts.

Applications are now open and will be accepted through January 15, 2023, 11:59 EST. Apply here.

Over one and a half days, students get a brief introduction to the existing possibilities in mathematical modeling. Sessions will include introductions to computational tools,  and scientific talks from public health researchers and trainees who use infectious disease epidemiology and mathematical modeling to solve problems in public health. They will also engage in professional development and networking opportunities, and participate in hands-on activities to practice the concepts and skills they are learning. (Depending on your background, hands-on activities will be in one of the following programs: R, Excel, or SAS.)
