Additionally, the Biostatistics Core will support all statistical analysis activities for the Center. The purposes of the Biostatistics and Computing Core are: 1) to facilitate electronic data management needs including computer and network support, and 2) to provide study design and statistical consultation to project investigators. Activities supported will include: database creation, maintenance and support to facilitate effective data tracking, dataset maintenance and access, statistical analysis and consultation, and network and computer support. These services will greatly enhance the ability of all components of the program to achieve their specific aims.
