External Email - Use Caution
Hi everybody,
We are pleased to announce that the application portal is still open for the NIH funded 2026 session of the course, “Training in Advanced Statistical Methods in Neuroimaging and Genetics”. This is our 6th year!
The course will start on Monday, April 13th, 2026 and finish on April 24th, 2026. Our course also includes an ongoing (throughout the year) continuing education portion. Due to delays in federal funding out of our control, we will be holding the course live on-line via Zoom for 2026. The course will use US Mountain Time Zone and typical days are from 8am to 5pm MT. The course is an intensive 2-weeks, about 8 hours per day of a balanced mixture of lectures and hands-on computer labs. More information at the following link:
Due to the course being held live on-line this year, the tuition is $400 (USD).
Please note that the course instructors' effort is supported by the NIH grant thus avoiding that cost being passed on to the course attendees. This course is strictly not-for-profit, your tuition is used for infrastructure support to hold the course.
Because of the limited size and advanced nature of the course, attendance is by application only – please make sure to fully read the website instructions. In general, applicants should be a US citizen, permanent resident, or working with an appointment at a US institution. Though we do have the ability to accommodate 3 to 6 individuals that do not meet this criteria. With being on-line this year, we are able to have a class size between 30 and 40 students.
Priority application deadline is Oct 24, 2025; decisions around Dec 13th.
Late application deadline is Nov 21, 2025; decisions by Jan 2nd, 2026.

We hope you pass this email on to your local neuroimaging community.
