BIOMETRY CORE

结肠癌研究中心（CCCR）的生物计量核心为目标、高级和初级CCCR研究人员提供统计和数学支持。协助和支持科学实验、研究和调查的设计；开发适合研究问题的统计和数学模型；对项目产生的数据进行适当的统计分析；评估数据分析所用方法的有效性，并在适当时开发新方法；评论和改进出版物和拨款提案手稿的统计部分；撰写与拨款申请统计分析结果有关的出版物质量报告和出版物稿件；并进行基础研究，以开发与癌症研究人员相关的新统计方法。为了提高CCCR研究人员对统计学在科学研究中的重要和关键作用的认识，生物计量学核心人员将提供与癌症研究相关的统计方法学培训讲习班。增加CCCR调查人员的统计知识也将进一步加强合作研究和改进统计咨询会议。通过biometric Core为CCCR研究者提供的统计支持，希望能够提高研究者进行结肠癌研究的有效性和实用性。这将有助于掩盖结肠癌治疗和预防研究的进一步进展。2017年核心员额的财务维持战略是与寻求核心服务的调查人员实施收费服务安排，并在项目赠款预算和/或核心人员赠款提案中纳入项目组成部分

The Biometery Core of the Center for Colon Cancer Research (CCCR) provides statistical and mathematical support to target, senior, and junior CCCR investigators. Assistance and support are in the designing of the scientific experiments, studies, and surveys; developing statistical and mathematical models appropriate for the research problems; performing appropriates statistical analyses of data arising from the projects; assessing the validity of the methods used in the analyses of data and developing new methods when appropriates; critiquing and improving statistical portions of manuscripts for publications and grant proposals; writing publication-quality reports pertaining to the results of the statistical analyses for grant applciations and manuscripts for publications; and performing basic research to develop new statistical methodology of relevance to cancer researchers. Biometry Core personnel actively participate in the research of investigators through one-on-one consultations and by providing feedback during research To increase awareness of CCCR investigators on the important and crucial role of Statistics in scientific research, the Biometry Core will provide training workshops on statistical methodology relevant to cancer research. Increasing the statistical knowledge of CCCR investigators will also further enhance collaborative research and improve statistical consultation sessions. Through the statistical support provided by the Biometry Core to CCCR investigators, it is hoped that the validity and utility of the colon cancer research performed by the investigators will be enhanced. This will have the consequence of contributing in masking further inroads to the search for a cure and the prevention of colon cancer. Strategies for financially sustaining the Core post 2017 are to implement a Service-for-Fee arrangement with investigators who seek Core services and to have line item components in the budget of project grants and/or grant proposal for Core personnel
