Biostatistics Core

生物统计核心（核心F）的广泛的长期目标是提供全方位的统计数据， 艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究中心的艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关研究咨询服务。具体目标包括：（1）提供 全方位的合作生物统计服务，（2）作为艾滋病研究人员和 统计科学家在ECOCFAR研究社区内外，（3）提供科学的 领导力，（4）为CACFAR研究社区提供生物统计培训和教育，以及（5） 参与评估和战略规划，以满足非洲经委会不断变化的需求。实现 为了实现这些目标，核心F的成员积极主动地与CCFAR调查人员合作，以确定和提供服务 对艾滋病研究的高生产力设计、管理、分析和出版至关重要。核心F 有助于建立假设，研究设计的发展，准备赠款申请， 选择最佳统计战略，提供出版物所需的统计分析。 艾滋病研究的新研究人员获得最高优先权。核心F还充当了 统计和生物医学科学家参与艾滋病毒研究。通过核心，临床医生与统计合作研究者联系在一起， 而发起艾滋病相关方法研究的统计学家则与临床共同研究者联系在一起。 作为一个正式的生物统计学委员会的组织大大提高了效率和能力， 连接科学家社区并提供艾滋病统计方面的辅导和培训的核心 研究人员生物统计部的强有力的机构支持使核心F能够充分利用 现有基础设施的优势，资源和与以其专业知识而闻名的教师的联系 统计学的专业领域。核心积极寻求生物统计学教师和学生感兴趣的 作为核心F的新成员参加。

The broad, long-term objectives of the Biostatistics Core (Core F) are to provide a full spectrum of statistical consulting services for HIV/AIDS-related research ofthe UNC CFAR. The specific aims include (1) providing a full spectrum of collaborative biostatistical services, (2) serving as a liaison between AIDS researchers and statistical scientists within the UNC CFAR research community and beyond, (3) providing scientific leadership, (4) providing biostatistical training and education to the UNC CFAR research community, and (5) engaging in evaluation and strategic planning to address the changing needs ofthe UNC CFAR. To achieve these aims, members of Core F proactively engage UNC CFAR investigators to identify and deliver services essential for highly productive design, management, analysis and publication ofAIDS research. Core F contributes to the framing of hypotheses, development of study designs, preparation of grant applications, selection of best statistical strategies, and delivery of statistical analyses required for publications. Investigators new to AIDS research receive highest priority. Core F also serves as a nexus between statistical and biomedical scientists in HIV research. Through the Core, clinicians are linked to statistical coinvestigators, while statisticians initiating AIDS-related methods research are connected with clinical coinvestigators. Organization as a formal Biostatistics Cpre greatly enhances the efficiency and ability of the Core to connect communities of scientists and to provide mentoring and training in statistics to AIDS researchers. Strong institutional support from the Department of Biostatistics allows Core F to take full advantage of existing infrastructure, resources and contacts with faculty renowned for their expertise in specialized fields of statistics. The Core proactively seeks Biostatistics faculty and students interested in participating as new members of Core F.
