Important dates for applying (2025)

Student Application

Following a 3-day in-person summit, learners will engage in 7 weeks of 2-3 hours/week of online lessons and hands-on office hours with a TA who will help a small pod of 2-3 learners with similar interests. Then, for the next 4 months, they will take online coursework relevant for their specific research interests, and present the application of the learned skills to their research at the end of the program.

Students/Learners for the ReproRehab Course should be willing to fully commit to four hours of course time per week, including:

During the 7-week online bootcamp:

•     1 hour of asynchronous lecture and hands-on lab material on your own

•     1 hour to review materials on your own

•     1 hour of working on materials independently via a virtual workblock meeting

•     1 hour for office hours with your TA and learner pod

During the 4 months of self-guided learning:

•     4 hours of self-guided learning and applying data science to your research, including at least 1 hour of working on materials via a virtual workblock meeting

TA Application

TAs are rehabilitation researchers with data science skills whom we will train to effectively teach these skills to others. TAs should have at least 2 years of experience programming in either python, Matlab, or R. During the 7-week bootcamp, TAs will host weekly office hours to help learners troubleshoot emergent issues. Afterwards, they will host their own virtual tutorial on YouTube around a ReproRehab-related topic. In this way, TAs can learn how to become leaders in teaching data science to rehabilitation researchers. TAs will be provided a $5,000 stipend for their time, which will be paid at the conclusion of the program in April.

Teaching Assistants for the ReproRehab Course should be willing to fully commit to four hours of course time per week, including:

During the 7-week online bootcamp:

•    1 hour hands-on office hour with learner pods

•    3 hours other time (e.g., creating their own curriculum/agenda for their pods, reviewing ReproRehab video lectures and other online content, Q&A with the educational leadership team, answering learners’ questions online via slack or email, etc.)

After the online bootcamp:

•   Expectation to create a YouTube tutorial on a topic of their choice related to reproducible rehabilitation research
