Partnering with IRSA
IRSA works with companies, health systems, government agencies and nonprofit organizations that share an interest in statistics and data science. Partnerships take many forms, and we shape each one around what our partners and our students can gain from it.
Ways to work with us include:
- Student course projects and summer research projects built on real problems
- Statistical consulting projects through the Lynn Y. S. Lin Statistical Consulting Center
- Internships for statistics and data science students
- Guest lectures and seminars
- Workshops and short courses for partner organizations
- Career events and information sessions
- Research collaborations and jointly hosted events
We are always open to new ideas. If your organization is interested in partnering with IRSA, contact Tianxi Li, IRSA Director, at [email protected].
