CORE--BIOSTATISTICS AND COMPUTING FACILITY

描述：(申请人描述)核心B的目的是继续支持研究计划的所有信息管理和评估功能。与过去一样，该机构的成员包括生物统计学家、程序员和数据专家。在这项研究计划下进行的流行病学分析中，设施成员从头到尾都深入参与了该计划的所有方面。咨询了该机构的意见，并积极参与了项目的研究设计，并将在整个正在进行的研究中继续进行数据和数据管理和质量控制。在每个项目完成后，核心B工作人员将进行统计分析、解释和提出结果。为所有这些活动提供一个中心位置，并让所有项目负责人和其他核心主管都可以联系到设施成员，这对本计划的成功至关重要。最重要的是，核心主任在每个项目中都是积极的合作者，并与首席调查员、个别项目负责人和核心主任密切合作，以确保方法的一致性以及每个项目和整个计划的合理和最先进的生物统计学方法。

DESCRIPTION: (Applicant's Description) The purpose of Core B is to continue to support all information management and evaluation functions of the research program. As in the past, facility members consist of biostatisticians, programmers and data specialists. Facility members have been deeply involved in all aspects of the program from start to finish of epidemiological analyses conducted under this research program. The facility was consulted for and actively participated in study design of the Projects and will continue to perform dada management and quality control throughout ongoing studies. Upon completion of each project, Core B staff will perform statistical analyses, interpretation and presentation of results. Having a central location for all of these activities, and for facility members to be available to all Project leaders and other Core directors is essential to the success of this program. Above all, the Core Director is an active collaborator in each of the projects and works closely with the Principal Investigator and individual Project Leaders and Core Directors to assure a uniformity of approach as well as sound and state-of-the-art biostatistical methodology within each Project and for the Program as a whole.
