The Biostatistics Core is designed to serve as a centralized resource for biostatistical expertise to supportAIDS research at UCLA.
The aims of this Core are to enhance HIV/AIDS research and to establish andfoster long-term collaborations between clinical, basic and behavioral researchers and biostatisticians atUCLA. This collaboration improves the biostatistical aspects of the AIDS research undertaken at UCLA andensures that AIDS investigators have access to expert statistical consultation and support, and that the mostappropriate and up-to-date methods are used. The kinds of support range from simple consultations to longtermcollaborations and grant writing. The Core provides support to AIDS research in the following areas:statistical modeling and expertise to researchers in basic science departments, survey designs and analysisof observational data to social science departments, design of experiments and analysis for interventionalstudies including protocol implementation and randomization, and data modeling and analysis for clinicaldepartments. Further the Core fosters the development of biostatistical methodology for immediate use byresearchers in these groups. The Core supports AIDS projects in numerous departments of the Schools ofMedicine, Dentistry, Public Health, Nursing and Policy: Medicine, Health Services, Pediatrics, HumanGenetics, Digestive Diseases, Ophthalmology, Microbiology and Immunology, Nursing, OB Gynecology,Hematology and Oncology, Public Policy, Epidemiology, and Psychiatry. A consequence of the emphasis onlong-term collaborative interactions is that this will lead to grant submissions and funding from other sources,thus allowing the Biostatistics Core to be available to focus on establishing new collaborations andsupporting new research.
