Efficient and knowledgeable biostatistical support is crucial to the proper design and interpretation ofresearch in the biomedical sciences. The principal objective of the Biostatistics Core will be to provide projectinvestigators a centralized resource for statistical expertise. Statistical issues will be addressed at all levels ofinvestigation: from the design of experiments, to the maintenance of data quality, and to the description andinferential statements made from the collected data. In support of this objective, the specific aims of theBiostatistics Core include:1. To collaborate with project investigators in the formulation of hypotheses and the design ofexperimental studies2. To conduct and direct the statistical analysis of data generated by project investigators including bothdescriptive summary statistics as well as more sophisticated inferential procedures3. To provide assistance in developing and implementing data management systems to allowinvestigators to effectively and efficiently manage and analyze their data4. To coordinate the development of new statistical methodologies, when needed, to directly supportresearch issues that may arise as part of the current Program Project.
