This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Experience has repeatedly shown that early involvement of statisticians in the conceptualization and design of research projects invariably makes the experiments more powerful and fruitful. Such involvement would be very important in strengthening the research infrastructure, as well as enhancing the quality of biomedical research at Jackson State University (JSU). We therefore propose the establishment of the Biostatistical Support Unit (BSU) as a core facility to provide investigators in the RCMI and other health-related programs, and their graduate and undergraduate students, with modern statistical consulting and technology to support their current and future biomedical research. The Unit is designed to provide all aspects of statistical consulting including: design of experiments, analysis of data, interpretation of results, database design and management, data entry and publication. The facility would also be organized to ensure better biostatistics services to investigators in environmental health and biomedical programs as well as investigators in other health related research centers at JSU. Therefore, the overall mission of this core facility is to provide consulting services to all biomedical researchers and students, as well as to foster interdisciplinary biomedical research collaborations among JSU faculty. The specific aims of the proposed core are: 1) to strengthen the biomedical research infrastructure at JSU; 2) to provide statistical support to RCMI investigators, other faculty, graduate and undergraduate students involved in biomedical research; 3) to contribute to the development of high quality research by employing statistical methods in all aspects of the research; 4) to increase the number of African Americans and other minority scientists in biostatistics; 5) to continue to provide training opportunities to graduate and undergraduate students, and summer high school students involved in apprenticeship programs; and 6) to enhance the research capabilities of the existing GIS laboratory, especially in the areas of data analysis and management. It is expected that the development of the BSU core will highly strengthen the biomedical research infrastructure, as well as the quality of scientific publications generated from RCMI and other biomedical programs at Jackson State University. The goal of the BSU is to become partially self sufficient with funds generated by consulting, supplemented by both university funds and grant funds obtained for interdisciplinary research. User fees of $ 70 per hour will be charged for all consultation with investigators who have grant supported research programs. Also, as proposals are developed, appropriate fees for statistical support will be included. The initial consultations up to an hour will be free, but once the project has been defined, the client will be given an estimate of the cost of the consultation if more extensive services is needed. All funds generated by the BSU will be used to support activities in the BSU.

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心，不一定是研究者所在机构。经验一再表明，统计人员及早参与研究项目的概念化和设计，必然会使试验更有力，更有成果。这种参与对于加强研究基础设施以及提高杰克逊州立大学（JSU）的生物医学研究质量非常重要。因此，我们建议建立生物统计支持单位（BSU）作为核心设施，为RCMI和其他健康相关项目的研究人员及其研究生和本科生提供现代统计咨询和技术，以支持他们当前和未来的生物医学研究。该股旨在提供统计咨询的所有方面，包括：实验设计、数据分析、结果解释、数据库设计和管理、数据输入和出版。该设施还将组织，以确保更好的生物统计服务，以调查人员在环境卫生和生物医学计划，以及调查人员在其他健康相关的研究中心在JSU。因此，该核心设施的总体使命是为所有生物医学研究人员和学生提供咨询服务，并促进JSU教师之间的跨学科生物医学研究合作。拟议核心的具体目标是：1）加强JSU的生物医学研究基础设施; 2）为RCMI调查人员，其他教师，研究生和本科生提供统计支持参与生物医学研究; 3）通过在研究的各个方面采用统计方法，为高质量研究的发展做出贡献; 4）增加非裔美国人和其他少数民族科学家在生物统计学的数量; 5）继续为研究生和本科生以及参与学徒计划的暑期高中生提供培训机会;（六）加强现有地理信息系统实验室的研究能力，特别是在数据分析和管理方面。预计BSU核心的发展将大大加强生物医学研究基础设施，以及从RCMI和杰克逊州立大学其他生物医学项目产生的科学出版物的质量。 BSU的目标是通过咨询产生的资金实现部分自给自足，并辅之以大学资金和跨学科研究获得的赠款资金。所有与研究者的咨询都将收取每小时70美元的使用费。此外，在拟订提案时，将列入适当的统计支助费。最初的咨询最多一个小时将是免费的，但一旦项目被确定，如果需要更广泛的服务，客户将获得咨询费用的估计。BSU产生的所有资金将用于支持BSU的活动。
