Due to overwhelming interest and a limited number of positions, we are no longer able to accept applications for the Summer 2025 BDSI program. We encourage you to explore opportunities at other Summer Institute in Biostatistics and Data Science programs.
The Big Data Summer Institute is an interdisciplinary training and research program that introduces undergraduate students to research at the intersection of big data and human health — a rapidly growing field that uses quantitative analysis, theoretical statistics, and data science to solve public health problems and improve people’s lives.
The 2025 Big Data Summer Institute will be HELD:
June 16 - July 25, 2025
Drawing from the expertise and experience of outstanding faculty of several departments at the University of Michigan — biostatistics, statistics, and electrical engineering and computer science — the institute exposes undergraduate students to diverse experiences and techniques that distinguish it from other undergraduate summer programs.
The Big Data Summer Institute is hosted in-person in Ann Arbor, Michigan at the University of Michigan School of Public Health.
All BDSI participants are provided with:
- A comprehensive summer research experience in biostatistics, big data computing, and professional development
