    Description:     This will be an open discussion on topics related to NIH grant review and funding, hosted by the ASA's Section on Statistical Genetics and Genomics.  The four panelists are faculty with a successful record of NIH funding and recent experience serving on four different NIH review study sections -- Analytics and Statistics for Population Research Panel A (ASPA), Panel B (ASPB), Biodata Management and Analysis (BDMA), and Genomics, Computational Biology and Technology (GCAT). Topics will include an overview of the NIH review process, a comparison of different NIH study sections and how they may pertain to statistical genetics and genomics, general advice for writing NIH grant proposals, and more.

  • Conference
    The Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Texas at Dallas is organizing a conference titled “Advances in Statistical and Computational Methods for Analysis of Biomedical, Genetic, and Omics Data” on March 17-19, 2023. The details are available at https://sites.google.com/view/abgod2023/home. The early registration is now open. We also have some funds to support the travel of students, postdocs, and junior researchers to UT Dallas. They can present a poster at the conference.
