The Georgian Biostatistics in Implementation Science Fogarty Training Program (GIFT)
News
In partnership with Yale University, Ilia State University implements the project "Introducing Biostatistics Teaching into Applied Science Fogarty Training Program (GIFT)" project funded by the US National Institutes of Health, Fogarty International Center.
A graduate training program in biostatistics aimed at addressing public health issues in the region. With a focus on HIV and opioid use disorder implementation science methods and analysis, GIFT strives to train the first generation of biostatisticians in the area and establish a cohort of academics to further the field of biostatistics. Through a hybrid program between Yale University and Ilia State University, we plan to train 4 existing public health faculty and 6 doctoral students. Funding will also be provided for the execution of their own implementation methods and biostatistics research projects. In addition, GIFT will conduct a summer short-courses in Biostatistics and Methods Implementation Science Boot Camps.
