Biometrics

生物识别核心(以前的生物统计核心)提供了促进有组织的、 华盛顿大学艾滋病研究统计的协同和集中方法 弗雷德·哈钦森癌症研究中心。特别是，核心提供了先进的统计方法和 在CFAR临床研究和实验室研究的设计、实施和分析方面的专业知识 调查人员。生物识别核心还提供了CFAR生物医学研究人员之间的关键联系 以及华盛顿大学的大量生物统计学和其他定量科学教员 以及弗雷德·哈钦森癌症研究中心，他们正在开发艾滋病研究的新方法。这个 使用Core的CFAR临床、行为和实验室研究人员提供用于分析的数据集 推动生物统计学家、生物数学家、工程师和 威斯康星大学和FHCRC的计算机科学家。因此，这种联系既有利于CFAR的研究人员，也有利于学术界 定量科学研究人员。 为了促进和促进这些多学科的互动，生物识别核心1)提供统计和 在研究设计、表格设计、评估和预测、数据方面的数学协作和咨询 分析、解释和报告；协调数据安全和监测委员会；提供数据输入 和数据管理服务；维护可用的计算设施(现场和远程 登录)任何CFAR调查员；3)作为核心用户与高级量化 威斯康星大学生物统计、统计、数学、应用数学、 工程学和计算机科学；4)开发、调整和/或实施新的或新的统计和 根据需要使用数学方法；以及5)组织活动，促进现有人员之间的交流 从事艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的统计员，以及可以招聘的其他生物统计员的兴趣，以满足 对艾滋病研究的需求日益增长。

The Biometrics Core (formerly the Biostatistics Core) provides the infrastructure that facilitates an organized, synergistic, and centralized approach to statistics in AIDS research at the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. In particular, the Core provides advanced statistical methods and expertise in the design, conduct and analysis of clinical research and laboratory studies to CFAR investigators. The Biometrics Core also provides a crucial link between the CFAR biomedical researchers and the large number of biostatistics and other quantitative sciences faculty at the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center who are developing new methods for AIDS research. The CFAR clinical, behavioral, and laboratory researchers using the Core provide datasets for analysis which motivate the development of new quantitative methods by biostatisticians, biomathematicians, engineers and computer scientists at UW and FHCRC. Hence, this link benefits CFAR investigators as well as academic quantitative science researchers. To promote and facilitate these multidisciplinary interactions the Biometrics Core 1) provides statistical and mathematical collaboration and consultation on study design, forms design, evaluation and pre-testing, data analysis, interpretation and reporting; coordinates Data Safety and Monitoring boards; provides data entry and data management services; maintains computing facilities that are available (both on site and by remote login) to any CFAR investigator; 3) serves as a liaison between the Core user with advanced quantitative needs and experts from the UW Departments of Biostatistics, Statistics, Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, and Computer Science; 4) develops, adapts and/or implements new or novel statistical and mathematical methods as needed; and 5) organizes activities that promote communication among existing statisticians in HIV/AIDS research and interest from other biostatisticians that can be recruited to meet the growing demand of AIDS research.
