For more than two decades, the Summer Institute in Statistical Genetics (SISG) has introduced geneticists to modern methods of statistical analysis and statisticians to the challenges posted by modern genetic data.

SISG participants may design a program relevant to their interests by choosing from among the 20 modules being offered (most participants take two or three).  Each module is two-and-a-half days (all day Monday/Tuesday and Wednesday morning OR Wednesday afternoon and all day Thursday/Friday). Individuals attending the institute receive certificates of course completion in recognition of their participation. 

SISG is supported by the NIH National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under award number 5R25GM059733.
