Summer Institute For Training In Biostatistics (SIBS)

This summer program looks like a great deal!  All expenses paid and you may be able to get course credit for this.  Anyone from first-year students through recent graduates can apply (you have to be a US citizen or permanent resident), but it is competitive because groups are small.  Looking at the application for the BU program, it looks like it might give you a competitive edge if you had some math or computer science background–but that’s not a prereq for applying.

Programs at the different institutions differ in their start dates, area of emphasis (epidemiology, medical genetics, etc.), and application forms.  The deadlines for applying are a month or so away, but they’re already considering applications, so apply soon!  Take a look at the general flier (link below) and a few of the programs at the various institutions (urls are on the flier), and if it looks to be of interest, go for it!  Click for details.
