The application for the ’24-’25 program year is now open – apply by the March 27th deadline for their best chance of joining our next cohort of changemakers. After this deadline, we will switch to accepting applications on a rolling basis until all spots are filled.
Big data is coming to healthcare, and you can be one of the first to understand and apply it. Most oral health education programs provide limited training in health informatics. The Biomedical Informatics and Behavioral Sciences (BIBS) Summer Research Program is a paid opportunity to put yourself ahead of the curve. During this 9-week, dental-focused program, you will become proficient in biostatistics, biomedical informatics, and behavioral sciences. You will gain skills via a structured introduction to data analytics, which will become increasingly critical to understanding oral healthcare in the decades ahead. You will also be paired with a mentor to complete a hands-on research project that a classroom experience alone doesn't offer, and you will be able to shape and define the future of dental public health.
If you are an undergraduate or graduate student interested in working with data and analytics, this program is for you!
We see an especially strong potential for applicants from historically underserved populations, who can apply their lived experiences and unique perspectives, such as where they grew up and their community views of healthcare, to real-life research projects.
The BIBS Summer Research Program is supported by a grant from the National Library of Medicine of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) (Award No. 1R25LM014219-01).

How can an academic institution play a constructive role in advancing community health? Not through research insights alone, according to Dr. Josh Sharfstein, a former Maryland health secretary and now vice dean for public health practice and community engagement at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. In this lecture, Dr. Sharfstein will talk about the practical challenges and opportunities in public and community engagement for institutions of higher learning that aspire to heal the world.
Organized by the Center for Social Science Scholarship. This lecture will be recorded and followed by a light reception.
