Course Description

The week-long Summer Institute on Longitudinal Data Analysis is designed to meet the needs of 50 participants each year, welcoming individuals from all career stages and backgrounds (e.g., graduate students, post-docs, faculty, and industry researchers) — all of whom are eager to enhance their knowledge in longitudinal data analysis. The Summer Institute will be held at Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN and we will provide meals and lodging in Purdue dorms for those selected to receive travel funding. The Summer Institute is ideal for individuals with a foundational understanding of statistics who seek to learn and apply longitudinal methods in their work. We specifically encourage applicants who are not already experts in longitudinal data analysis but who see the potential for these skills to enhance their research or professional contributions.
