Emory BMI and Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2019

Google has announced the list of accepted organizations for GSoC 2019. We (Emory BMI) have been selected once more as a mentoring organization, after our successful summers in 2016 and earlier. :) Our project ideas - https://github.com/sharmalab/Emory-BMI-GSoC-2019 Our ideas are on the topics of big data, data visualization, and machine learning, in the context of biomedical research.

The stipend varies by the country of the student's university. For example, for Portuguese universities, it is 4200 $ in total (for a 3 month of coding - May 27, 2019 - August 19, 2019) for each successful student. Students can apply for projects from around 100 of mentoring organizations (including Emory BMI) that are accepted as a mentoring organization.

Anyone can apply as long as they have never been a student in GSoC before (new regulations!) and currently a student of age 18 or more from a university/college.

P.S: This will be my 9th year with GSoC and 5th time as a mentor. However, this is my first time as the primary organization administrator. :) I started my first GSoC as a student in 2009. It has been 10 years already.
