The Bruce Weir Summer Institute in Statistical Genetics (SISG) introduces geneticists to modern methods of statistical analysis and statisticians to the challenges posed by modern genetic data. The goal of SISG is to strengthen the statistical and genetic proficiency and career preparation of scholars from all backgrounds, especially those from groups historically underrepresented in STEM including low-income, first-generation college students, veterans, individuals with disabilities.
