Registration Opens for Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health’s Summer Institute
Registration is now open for the Summer Institute of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, offering intensive training in public health research methods. The program, designed for researchers, clinicians, and graduate students, will run from July 13 to August 7, 2026.
The Summer Institute provides a comprehensive curriculum covering both epidemiological principles and biostatistical techniques. Courses include study design, data analysis, and statistical modeling, with a focus on applications in health sciences. The program aims to equip participants with the skills necessary to conduct rigorous and impactful public health research.
The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health has a long-standing reputation in the field of biostatistics, being ranked #1 by peers in the 2025 U.S. News & World Report rankings. Established in 1918, the Department of Biostatistics was the first academic department of statistics in the United States, according to the school. Faculty members conduct research across a broad spectrum of statistical science, from foundational inference to the development of new methodologies tailored for health applications.
The Summer Institute is an extension of the function conducted by the Johns Hopkins Biostatistics Center (JHBC), the practice arm of the Bloomberg School’s biostatistics department. The JHBC, and by extension the Summer Institute, is part of the broader infrastructure supporting quantitative research in the health sciences.
The program offers both in-person and online learning options, allowing for flexibility in participation. Further details regarding course offerings, registration fees, and application procedures are available on the program’s website. The deadline for applications is May 15, 2026.
The Department of Biostatistics at Johns Hopkins focuses on enhancing and promoting effective statistical reasoning and its application in health research, with the ultimate goal of advancing public health.
