项目摘要/摘要：数据管理和统计核心 数据管理和统计(DMS)核心可以概念化为集成 ADRC是ADRC的核心，对英国-ADRC的成功至关重要。它的关键角色包括管理大型集中式 数据库，咨询ADRC附属研究人员，并致力于开发和应用创新统计 数据分析的方法论。数据管理工作的重点是收集、存储和共享高质量 使用基于网络的平台提供数据。这一重点始于领导力、远见和对细节的关注 由DMS核心提供。这一核心具有令人羡慕的记录，及时和准确地报告高 到NACC的数据量。此外，每周一次的核心会议很受英国-ADRC调查人员的欢迎，他们发现 我们经验丰富的调查人员提供的专家意见提高了他们在试点研究中的成功，格兰特 应用程序和出版物。CORE还作为正式合作伙伴参与了英国的研究任务- ADRC强调晚年从正常到多病因痴呆的转变。这其中的一个关键因素 CORE在开发新的方法来分析在英国收集的数据方面有着良好的记录- ADRC和其他队列的研究重点是老年受试者向MCI的转变以及最终的痴呆症。这个 CORE还为参加老年学、公共卫生、 流行病学与生物统计学、心理学与统计学。它致力于培养年轻的教职员工 成为富有成效的ADRC调查人员。为了与英国-ADRC的使命保持一致，这个核心的教职员工还 通过在外部咨询委员会提供服务，为整个痴呆症研究社区做出贡献， 研究部分、手稿审查和数据安全监测委员会。DMS核心将继续这些 通过以下具体目标履行关键责任。 目标1：维护和扩大综合数据仓库和一套基于网络的数据收集应用程序 以及ADRC核心和项目的报告平台。 目标2：提供实验设计和统计分析方面的专业知识。 目标3：支持ADRC的临床、生物标记物、神经病理学、教育和外展任务。 目标4：通过服务和研究促进整个痴呆症社区的活动。

Project Summary/Abstract: Data Management and Statistics Core The Data Management and Statistics (DMS) Core can be conceptualized as the lynchpin for integration of the ADRC Cores and is vital to the success of the UK-ADRC. Its critical roles include managing a large centralized database, consulting with ADRC-affiliated researchers, and working to develop and apply innovative statistical methodology for data analysis. Data management efforts focus on collecting, storing, and sharing high quality data using a web-based platform. This focus begins with the leadership and vision and attention to detail provided by the DMS Core. This core has an enviable track record of timely and accurate reporting of a high volume of data to NACC. Further, weekly Core meetings are popular with UK-ADRC investigators who find that the expert advice provided by our seasoned investigators improves their success in pilot studies, grant applications, and publications. The Core also participates as a full partner to the research mission of the UK- ADRC emphasizing transitions in late life from normal to multiple etiology dementia. A key element of this Core is the well-established track record of developing novel methodology to analyze data collected at the UK- ADRC and from other cohorts with a focus on elderly subjects’ transitions to MCI and eventually dementia. The Core also provides training for students enrolled in the graduate programs in Gerontology, Public Health, Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Psychology, and Statistics. It is committed to developing younger faculty to become productive ADRC investigators. In keeping with the mission of the UK-ADRC, faculty in this Core also contribute to the dementia research community at large through service on external advisory committees, study sections, manuscript reviews, and data safety monitoring boards. The DMS Core will continue these critical responsibilities through the following specific aims. Aim 1: Maintain and expand an integrated data warehouse and suite of web-based data collection applications and reporting platforms for ADRC Cores and projects. Aim 2: Provide expertise on experimental design and statistical analysis. Aim 3: Support the clinical, biomarker, neuropathological, educational, and outreach missions of the ADRC. Aim 4: Contribute to the activities of the dementia community at large through service and research.
