Membership

Interested in becoming a member? The easiest way to become a member of the institute is by applying to the Annual Summer Bootcamp workshop which will take place in August. The workshop will start receiving applications each May.

Benefits of membership include:

• Opportunities to be part of a collaborative ecosystem dedicated to enhancing research synergies, productivity, and impact.
• Opportunities to share research and participate in Institute sponsored events, including seminars, “works in progress” meetings, and symposia
• Guidance and mentoring in applying for research funding, feedback and review of grant proposals
• Opportunities for pilot grant funds
• Access to methods development and analytic support, data management support, and shared project management personnel.
• Access to grant administration and management processes

In return, members are expected to:

• Hold a primary faculty or Research Scientist position at UIC, or a joint appointment at UIC if primary location is another institution
• Submit an up-to-date Curriculum Vitae or NIH format biosketch annually when requested, including a link to a publication record (this may be an NCBI “My Bibliography” link [preferred], Google Scholar, ResearcherID, Research Gate profile, etc.). We require this information to update databases and for our annual report.
• Add UIC Institute for Equitable Health Data Science Research as an affiliation for publications and acknowledge the Institute in papers and presentations if a member receives resources / funding from the Institute.

Memberships are renewed annually.
