No two GRAs in CIDA are alike projects span the full range of the field of biostatistics. Further, our GRAs learn about the biomedical research process and become active participants in research via co-authorship on abstracts and publications, while developing and mastering statistical consulting skills via office hours for medical students/residents.

This position provides valuable experience for our students to apply the biostatistical and data science skills they are learning in class to real-world problems and data. CIDA students work with a faculty mentor and participate as a member of the research team on collaborative research projects from across the medical campus and greater Denver metro community. Each year, we fund approximately 12 GRAs. CIDA has opportunities for graduate students in the form of Graduate Research Assistantships (GRAs).
