*Call for application: STEM educators to incorporate Bayesian thinking and
methods in teaching*


Application for the Bayes BATS <https://www.stat.uci.edu/bayes-bats/>program
is now open at this link
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://duke.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2sDimvyrSaeAl1A__;!!CzAuKJ42GuquVTTmVmPViYEvSg!Ir5cUR6xCUU6TO-8LoNZ5bPbgUJbzIxi0TcJISvlcQalCHJw0B1DEgMEcmKV39_fzXlk6QEvzOyhN5z5s_5JGA$>
.



BATS is a three-tiered program geared at STEM educators who would like to
incorporate Bayesian thinking and methods into their own disciplinary
courses.  Funded by the National Science Foundation, up to 20 attendees,
who will be US citizens and permanent residents from diverse scholarly
backgrounds
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.nsf.gov/about/research_areas.jsp__;!!CzAuKJ42GuquVTTmVmPViYEvSg!NC_lJmnyZi8TDYugpqYP79OCrZlaoF2tN7YFJZ0BcQAYRQsHuYlyhhz-7YFwAFQlhiu2ARyZWMIWlw$>
and educational environments, will spend July 10-14, 2023 at the University
of California Irvine in an instructor-training bootcamp. In the second tier
of the program, roughly 10 attendees will spend Fall 2023 developing
teaching and learning materials for their courses with the support of the
BATS PIs, and in the third tier, selected instructors will receive support
to disseminate their teaching and learning materials through conferences
and publications. Prior exposure to Bayesian statistical methods is not
assumed.



Program objectives include increasing the number of undergraduate students
exposed to Bayesian methods, enhancing the capacity of STEM instructors to
include Bayesian materials in their teaching, and development of teaching
and learning materials that showcase use of Bayesian methods in STEM.  More
details can be found at the BATS website
<https://www.stat.uci.edu/bayes-bats/>.



We welcome STEM faculty members of all career stages who have interest in
incorporating Bayesian methods in their classes at all undergraduate
levels. Instructors at minority serving institutions are particularly
encouraged to apply. Due to funding restrictions, only US citizens and
permanent residents are eligible.



Interested applicants are asked to complete a short Qualtrics survey
describing their educational background and interests.  Applications are
due February 15, 2023.



Questions can be directed to Dr. Mine Dogucu at mdogucu at uci.edu.



Very best,



The BATS PI Team



Mine Dogucu, Monika Hu, and Amy Herring
