The mission of the Biostatistics Core Team is to support collaborative clinical and translational research efforts through study design, data analysis, interpretation of results, and reporting. A key component of this Core is education to enhance study design and analytics. Whether you are a medical student or faculty, we have educational offerings, including classes and one-on-one consultations with a biostatistician to adjust and refine the analytic plan to make sure your study meets NIH rigor and reproducibility standards. Beyond design and analysis, collaborating statisticians will work with you throughout the study to support reporting (e.g., publications, abstracts) and data quality control. Our biostatisticians will be your partner from study inception to publication and beyond.
Professional Biostatistics Services provided by the core include:
- General statistical consultations for:
- Study Design
