BIOSTATISTICAL SUPPORT UNIT

该子项目是利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是 中心，不一定是研究者的机构。 生物统计支持单位（BSU）是目前由杰克逊州立大学（JSU）国立卫生研究院-RCMI环境健康中心支持的多用户核心研究设施之一。BSU的总体目标是：a）加强其生物医学研究基础设施; B）为RCMI调查人员提供生物统计服务的各个方面;以及c）促进JSU和其他高等院校的调查人员及其同行之间的跨学科研究合作。 近年来，BSU为JSU的RCMI计划的成功做出了重大贡献，为RCMI调查人员提供了从实验设计到数据分析的各种统计相关服务。BSU对RCMI计划的影响体现在至少四个同行评审的出版物，13个研究项目-支持，12个赠款建议咨询服务，论文，论文，以及数据技术协调中心未来活动的规划。此外，BSU通过其教学和计算机实验室的支持，产生和/或支持由科学，工程和技术学院的环境科学研究生进行的12个研究项目。该股还通过确保适当的研究设计和数据分析方法，与列入RCMI赠款续延申请的四个试点项目的主要研究者密切合作。预计一旦资金获得批准，预算支助股将在数据收集、分析和解释以及这些试点项目的出版方面提供咨询意见。 在过去一年中，BSU一直通过与内部和外部咨询委员会和顾问的不断互动，积极努力提高其生产力和效率。该股通过升级和定期维修，使计算机硬件和软件保持正常运作，从而维持其日常支助和活动。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The Biostatistical Support Unit (BSU) is one of the multi-user core research facilities currently supported by the National Institutes of Health-RCMI Center for Environmental Health at Jackson State University (JSU). The overarching goals of the BSU are to: a) strengthen its biomedical research infrastructure; b) provide all aspects of bio-statistical services to RCMI investigators; and c) foster interdisciplinary research collaborations among the investigators and their peers at JSU and other institutions of higher learning. In recent years, BSU has significantly contributed to the success of the RCMI Program at JSU, by providing RCMI investigators with a wide array of statistical related services from experimental designs to data analyses. The impact of BSU on the RCMI Program is evidenced by at least four peer-reviewed publications, 13 research projects - support, 12 consulting services for grant proposals, theses, dissertation, and planning for the Data Technology Coordinating Center future activities during its present reporting year. Also, BSU through its teaching and computer-lab support has generated and/or supported twelve research projects conducted by the Environmental Science graduate students in the College of Science, Engineering and Technology. This Unit has also worked closely with the PIs of the four pilot projects that are included in the RCMI grant renewal application by ensuring adequate study designs and data analysis methodologies. It is also anticipated that the BSU will provide advice in data collection, analysis and interpretation, as well as publication for these pilot projects, once the funding is approved. BSU during the past year has been vigorously engaged in efforts to improve its productivity and efficiency through continuous interactions with internal and external advisory committees and consultants. The Unit has maintained its routine support and activities by keeping computer hardware and software in proper functional order through upgrades and regular maintenance.
