Student Employment Opportunities

The involvement of graduate students in the research activities of faculty members from the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics is of paramount importance. These opportunities enhance the educational experience of students by reinforcing lessons learned in the classroom and providing practical research experience in the public heath work place.

SAS Software Licensing/Distribution

As part of The George Washington University site license agreement with the SAS Institute (http://www.sas.com), students are able to install SAS on their home computers at no cost.

Student Research Awards

Student research awards are available from the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics to support students' efforts in presenting their work at local and national public health and scientific conferences. All students enrolled in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics' MPH, MS, and PhD degree programs are eligible to receive these awards. Awards will be granted for work done as part of Departmental activities (academic work such as special project, culminating experiences or dissertations; or paid or unpaid research with Department faculty members). Since these awards are meant to encourage participation in outside conferences, GWU's and Children's National Medical Center's Research Day presentations are not eligible.

Practicum Research Fellowship Awards

The Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics will award three to six Practicum Research Fellowship Awards to MPH and MSPHMEID candidates from the Department. The Awards are intended to:

• recognize academic achievement and service in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics; and
• provide partial financial support to practicum/culminating experiences.

Doctoral Student Fellowship Opportunities

The Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics offers several doctoral student fellowship opportunities every academic year. For more information and current listings, please view the page.
