Biostatistics The Biostatistics Core provides consultation and collaboration on quantitative methods to investigators on 6 of the SPORE projects and all developmental projects and to Cores I, 2, and 4.
The specific aims are: 1. To provide """"""""open door"""""""" (more likely """"""""open phone"""""""" or """"""""open email"""""""") short term statistical consultation to the entire group of SPORE investigators. 2. To provide biostatistical expertise for the planning, conduct, analysis, and reporting of laboratory, animal, clinical, and epidemiological studies for SPORE projects. 3. To provide consultation on computer databases, statistical computer packages, publicly available statistical programs and moving data between computers and between databases, as well us to provide statistical collaboration in developing statistical programs for specialized problems. 4. To facilitate sharing of information between SPORE projects and developmental projects on variability of and statistical distributions of various measures, such as new assays, methods of tumor burden measurements in animal studies, and short and long term changes in markers in human studies in order to permit study designs to be informed by several data sets (rather than just the pilot studies done in that project.)
