Core--Biostatistics

生物统计核心将为当前申请中描述的四个UW STD-TM-CRC项目提供生物统计协作和计算机系统支持。此外，生物统计核心将支持受训人员、研究员和STDCRC新研究员奖获得者。具体地说，生物统计核心将1)就研究设计、表格设计、评估和预测测试、数据分析、解释和报告以及协调数据安全和监测委员会提供统计合作和咨询；2)在STDCRC项目之间以及STDCRC与华盛顿大学进行性病/艾滋病毒研究的其他团体之间提供统计和数据管理领导和协调；3)作为具有高级统计需求的核心用户与华盛顿大学生物统计部门统计专家之间的联络人；4)根据需要开发、调整和/或实施新的或新的统计方法；5)维护可供任何研究人员使用的计算设施(现场和远程登录)；6)提供STI TM CRC数据共享计划的管理。此外，该中心还将与国立卫生研究院资助的威斯康星大学艾滋病研究中心的生物统计核心合作，促进生物统计学家和流行病学家之间的互动和合作，这些生物统计学家和流行病学家参与了威斯康星大学联邦资助的性传播疾病和艾滋病毒相关研究。

The Biostatistics Core will provide biostatistical collaboration and computer system support for the four UW STD-TM-CRC projects described in the current application. In addition the Biostatistics Core will support trainees, fellows and STDCRC New Investigator Award recipients. Specifically, the Biostatistics Core will 1) provide statistical collaboration and consultation on study design; forms design, evaluation and pretesting; data analysis; interpretation and reporting; and coordinate Data Safety and Monitoring boards; 2) provide statistical and data management leadership and coordination among the STDCRC projects and between the STDCRC and other groups conducting STD/HIV research at the University of Washington; 3) serve as a liaison between core users with advanced statistical needs and statistical experts from the UW Department of Biostatistics; 4) develop, adapt and/or implement new or novel statistical methods as needed; 5) maintain computing facilities which are available (both on site and by remote login) to any investigator; 6) provide management of the Data Sharing Plan for the STI TM CRC. In addition, the Core will collaborate with the Biostatistics Core of the NIH-funded UW Center for AIDS Research to promote interactions and collaboration among biostatisticians and epidemiologists involved in federally funded STD and HIV-related research at the UW.
