The Statistics and Data Coordinating Center (S&DCC) for the proposed renewal of the UCSF Center toAddress Disparities in Children's Oral Health (nicknamed CAN DO 2) will serve the biostatistical anddatabase management needs of the projects. The S&DCC will build upon and expand successes as theBiostatistics and Research Data Core for the UCSF Comprehensive Oral Health Research Center ofDiscovery (P60 DE13058) and as the Measurement & Evaluation Core of the first CAN DO funding period.Moreover, the S&DCC will leverage its substantial expertise and capacities with those of the UCSFClinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI), a first-round NIH/NCRR-funded Clinical andTranslational Science Award that began in 2006.An advantage to a central coordinating center is that 'involvement in numerous projects and protocolsallows exposure to problems that are pervasive throughout numerous studies yet may appear relatively minorwithin a narrower context.' (1) A central S&DCC, building upon earlier projects and expertise in dentalresearch and analysis, will enable more efficient and productive interactions with investigators than consultingwith separate epidemiologists, biostatisticians, psychometricians, anthropologists, communications experts,geographers, programmers and data managers. Moreover, consistent S&DCC personnel working on relatedprojects makes interdisciplinary connection and innovation easier to target as well as feasible and efficient.Databases will continue to be developed within a unified framework for coding, entry, and storage;additionally the S&DCC will contribute to the NIDCR Collaborative Working Group (CWG) to establishcommon data elements across Centers. The S&DCC will also extend or develop research and analyticmethodologies, when necessary, to provide solutions for CAN DO 2 projects.The S&DCC's goals are to foster achieving and maintaining the highest ethical, research design,procedural, data management and analytic standards.
