Course proposals

The ISCB Education Subcommittee is seeking course proposals. We welcome proposals for online and in-person training and educational courses in biostatistics. Proposals on any topic of Biostatistics are welcomed. In the era of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) the use, development, and application of Biostatistical techniques and methodologies is witnessing rapid transition. Hence, proposals on sensitizing the users with the judicious standard operating procedures, and steps for harnessing and updating users’ skills in AI and Machine Learning in health are vital. Therefore, proposals on Reproducible research, questionable research practices (QRPs) and other related aspects are also welcomed. The closing date for applications is 15 January 2025. On declaration of the successful proposals (end of January 2025), the courses/webinars are to be delivered by June 2025.
