November 19 – 23, 2025 | On-Site

Please note that this optional workshop is designed for PPCR Main Course participants and alumni. The 2025 Main Course is closed for applications.

The 5-Day Immersion Course will feature six Harvard professors who will review and discuss the material presented throughout the year of the 2025 PPCR course in a detailed and intensive fashion.

A key component of the 5-Day Immersion Course is that students will not only review their group projects and address specific research questions with the Harvard faculty but will also work on their second paper. This second paper involves the analysis of a real dataset, with students collaborating closely with biostatistics and epidemiology faculty. This hands-on approach helps students apply their skills in a practical setting, ensuring a deeper understanding of clinical trials design, statistical methods, and data interpretation.

Students will present their year-long projects and findings to the entire group after discussions with faculty, culminating in an enriching learning experience in a poster presentation session and also will be part of a mock grant review session. Please note that these dates are tentative and small adjustments will likely take place.

Agenda

Below is the 2023 schedule for the 5-Day Immersion Course. The 2025 schedule will likely be similar, with slight variation in dates and content. Please revisit our website at a later date to view the 2025 schedule.
