The Georgia Institute of Technology is proud to host the 30^th Summer Institute in Statistical Genetics at our Midtown Atlanta campus in 2025.

Please note that due to an unexpected drop in enrolment this year, we have been forced to cancel 6 modules. However, WE REMAIN COMMITTED TO HOLDING FULL IN PERSON INSTRUCTION FOR A DOZEN MODULES, thanks to the generosity of the GT School of Biological Sciences and Executive Vice President for Research.

All scholarship slots have been filled, but we remain open to registration for fee-paying participants. A few thousand dollars, despite the current funding uncertainty, remains a meaninful investment and tiny fraction of overall training!

SISG 2025 will be held May 28th – June 13th, 2025, starting the Wednesday after Memorial Day. The Fee schedule for most participants is on the About page.  We are supporting 40 Graduate Student Fellowships funded by our corporate partner, the Regeneron Genetics Center, and the National Science Foundation.  Please note that all modules are in-person only! There will be no virtual option available this year.

Information about Atlanta and weekend offerings is also provided on the About tab. Anyone wishing to attend is invited to follow three simple steps: choose your preferred classes, (ii) apply for admission, and (iii) register after acceptance. 

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.
