of encouraging them to pursue careers in
biostatistics. The courses will cover the
fundamental concepts of probability, statistical reasoning and inferential methods
motivated, in part, by examples that
include data collected in studies of heart,
lung, blood, and sleep disorders. The
courses will be taught during the summers of 2010, 2011, 2012 with appropriate modifications or refinements
following each of the first two summer

Cell Niche (R01) (NIH)
This FOA issued by the National Heart,
Lung, and Blood Institute, National Institutes of Health, solicits Research Project
Grant (R01) applications in a specific area
of stem cell research, the blood stem cell
niche, an area critical to advancing stem
