In-Person Attendance:
Location: Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
677 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02115
In-person attendees will have the opportunity for hands-on engagement in a classroom setting.
Our summer courses are non-degree and non-credit. Enrollment is not eligible for visa sponsorship. Course tuition does not cover housing or transportation costs to the courses.
Online Alternative:
Individuals unable to attend the courses in Boston should explore our online alternative. Through this option, participants will have the the opportunity to attend live course lectures virtually through Zoom and access course materials.
Online participants will be granted access to the same materials and schedule as those who attend the courses in person. Participants are expected to attend the live sessions as no recordings will be allowed or available if missed.
Enrollment for online courses is limited. Once registration opens, admission is granted on a first come, first served basis with a capped number of available slots. If you are interested in attending a course virtually, we recommend registering shortly after registration opens.
Student Tuition Waivers
Our annual tuition fee waiver program ensures qualified students without alternative funding have an opportunity to learn from the causal inference experts on campus at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
The tuition waiver application portal will open early 2025.
Our History
In 2017, Miguel Hernán, Judith Lok, James Robins, Eric Tchetgen Tchetgen and Tyler VanderWeele set off to create a public, introductory course on causal inference at Harvard University. This course is still offered today under the name “Key Topics in Causal Inference.”
In 2021, CAUSALab was founded under the direction of Miguel Hernán with a core mission of providing training on causal inference to the next generation of investigators.
Building upon this foundation, 2022 saw the introduction of the Target Trial Emulation course, accompanied by the official establishment of the CAUSALab Summer Courses on Causal Inference.
In 2023, four courses were offered over two weeks for individuals to attend in person or virtually for the first time. A total of 445 participants attended representing over 30 countries and 60+ different organizations that spanned across academia and industry. Additionally, 43 tuition waivers were awarded to 28 students.
The 2024 summer courses cohort included 381 participants from 35+ countries and 150+ organizations. 42 fee waivers were awarded across all four course offerings.
