Project Pitch Session
Pairing projects in need with eager MS Biostatistics students

Stamler Conference Room
680 N Lake Shore Drive, Suite 1400

Do you have a dataset in need of analysis?

Are you low on funds for statistical support for analyses?

Do you have projects on the “backburner” indefinitely?

Consider pitching your project and ideas to a group of MS Biostatistics students.

• Each presenter will have approximately five minutes to “pitch” his/her project to the students
• Students will rank projects in order of preference during the session
• MS Leadership will match each presenter with a student according to skillset and interests

Each MS student will complete a Thesis (Deadline for completion of project:
April 26, 2019) that will take the form of:

• A publishable paper presenting results of an analysis he/she completed
• Formatted according to a target journal, but general formatting for original manuscript applies (Introduction, Methods, Results, Conclusions with appropriate tables and figures)
• Ranging from 2500-3500 words

Students will have a primary thesis advisor (faculty member from the Department of Preventive Medicine), and those pitching the project must be willing to serve as a secondary thesis advisor (at minimum).

If you are interested, please complete this survey: http://j.mp/2L9VNcI
