Data Compilation Core

项目总结（见说明）： 数据汇编核心（核心B）将开发和维护一个分析就绪的中央资源， 研究者使用的临床试验和相关研究的注释和记录数据集 的计划。这些数据集将用于评估本计划中开发的方法以及 演示在计算资源核心（Core C）中开发的软件。的主要来源 这些数据将是癌症和白血病组B（CALGB）的临床试验和相关研究， 国家癌症研究所赞助的癌症合作组织此外，来自癌症研究的数据 在两个大型的NCI指定的综合癌症中心进行，Lineberger综合 也将利用位于华盛顿的癌症中心和杜克综合癌症中心。这是一个重大 该程序的优点在于所提供的数据集可以非常好地注释， 记录在案，临床和统计科学家直接参与，他们参与了主要的 研究的设计和分析。

PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): The Data Compilation Core (Core B) will develop and maintain a central resource of analysis-ready, annotated and documented data sets from clinical trials and related studies to be utilized by the investigators of the program. These data sets will be used to evaluate the methods developed in this program as well as to demonstrate the software developed in the Computational Resource Core (Core C). The primary source of the data will be the clinical trials and related studies of the Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB), one of the major NCI-sponsored cancer cooperative groups. In addition, data from cancer research studies conducted at two large NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers, the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at UNC and the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center, will also be utilized. This is a major advantage for the program in that the data sets provided can be exceptionally well annotated and documented, with the direct involvement of clinical and statistical scientists who were involved in the primary design and analysis of the studies.
