CORE -- BIOSTATISTICS /CLINICAL SUPPORT

生物统计学和临床​​支持核心（A）将为该计划的基础和临床研究部分提供基础设施支持。核心的生物统计学部分将确保在项目研究设计中纳入适当的统计参数，以便有效利用体外、动物和患者资源，并采用严格的方法来解释和报告临床前和临床研究的结果。该核心还将协调在该计划背景下进行的治疗研究的临床支持，促进及时提交机构同行评审方案，保持对机构和联邦指南的遵守，并确保该计划的临床方面与匹兹堡大学癌症研究所现有的广泛资源无缝整合。

The Biostatistics, and Clinical Support Core (A) will provide the infrastructure support for the basic and clinical research components of this program. This Biostatistics component of the core will ensure that appropriate statistical parameters are incorporated in the design of the studies of the program, so that in vitro, animal, and patient resources are used efficient, and that rigorous methods are applied for the interpretation and reporting of the results in preclinical and clinical studies. This core will also coordinate the Clinical Support for therapeutic studies conducted within the context of this program by facilitating timely submission of protocols for institutional peer review, maintaining compliance with institutional and federal guidelines, and ensuring that the clinical aspects of this program are integrated seamlessly with the extensive existing resources available within the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute.
