Founding Director, Biostatistics Training Initiative (2010 - 2020)
I planned and served as founding director of a graduate training program designed to create graduates from the
UW Biostatistics program who are well-equipped with the knowledge to work effectively in teams addressing
current challenges in cancer research. This program was designed to address an unmet need of statistical
support expressed by the oncology research community and was funded by the Ontario Institute for Cancer
Research (OICR). Over the first 10 years I lead (2010 - 2015)
or co-lead with Greg Pond (McMaster University) this program (2015 - 2020),
scores of students completed eight-month internships in cancer research centers in Ontario with many taking
on positions in cancer research upon graduation.

Founding Chair, Biostatistical and Methods Innovation Group, CANNeCTIN Network (2008 - 2010)
Through a partnership with the Population Health Research Institute (McMaster University), this methodology training
program involved graduate trainees from McGill, Ottawa, Toronto, McMaster and the UWaterloo. Each
year a total of $150,000 in CIHR funding was allocated to biostatistics graduate students doing research relevant to
cardiovascular disease. A regular seminars was also held to encourage the exchange of ideas between the medical and
statistical research communities across the province and to and foster interdisciplinary collaboration.
Founding Chair, Biopharmaceutical Statistics Graduate Training Program (1999 - 2006)
I served as the University of Waterloo lead in the creation of a partnership between UWaterloo and GlaxoSmithKline to
support a graduate training initiative involving the placement of graduate interns into pharmaceutical positions,
a scholarship program supporting UWaterloo Biostatistics graduate students conducint research in pharmaceutical statistics,
and a monthly technical seminar series for trainees and statisticians in the pharmaceutical industry.
