Become Involved

The program is open to graduate students from across the UNC campus in any PhD program. This is not a PhD granting program, rather a supplement to existing PhD programs, offering a BD2K certificate from the Graduate School.

The application process for participation is low threshold, with open enrollment:

Departments: email Dr. Forest (forest@unc.edu) and Dr. Kosorok (kosorok@bios.unc.edu) to request inclusion

Graduate Students: email Dr. Forest (forest@unc.edu), Dr. Kosorok (kosorok@bios.unc.edu), Betsy Seagroves (bseagrov@bios.unc.edu), and your faculty adviser; include a brief summary of your background (PhD program, courses taken, research experience) and your interest in the BD2K graduate training program.

Faculty mentors: email Dr. Forest (forest@unc.edu), Dr. Kosorok (kosorok@bios.unc.edu), and Betsy Seagroves (bseagrov@bios.unc.edu); include a brief rationale (e.g., seeking a tri-domain collaboration, to offer modules, have PhD advisees participate, offer trainee rotations), and an updated NIH Biosketch.

    A current member Maya Niranjan told me about this program and I’m very interested to join a mailing list and/or attend events. I’m starting my PhD in computer science at UNC. Research interests are computer graphics and data visualization. My wife just graduated from a PhD in statistics. We’re both interested in applications of big data related to healthcare and look forward to learning more.

    Best, Justin
