Data and Biostatistics

数据和生物统计核心将负责向拟议的热带医学中心的研究调查人员提供数据管理、信息技术和生物统计支助。具体地说，他们将确保拟议的三个项目的数据完整性和保密性，并将执行与这些项目有关的所有数据分析。这一核心拥有丰富的经验，用不同的方法对许多不同的流行病学研究进行复杂的分析。此外，他们在能力建设方面经验丰富，该中心的一个组成部分将是当地能力建设，特别是与数据输入、数据清理和数据分析有关的能力建设。核心负责人(Rahme)和两名关键人员(Casapia和Gyorkos)都是在流行病学和生物统计学系任教的大学专业人员。核心的其余部分也有资格进行能力建设。我们建议的高质量数据和生物统计核心将是该中心成功的重要组成部分。它将对产生三个研究项目的结果和填补目前的研究空白至关重要。

The data and biostatistics core will be responsible for providing data management, information technology and biostatistical support to the research investigators of the proposed Tropical Medicine Center. Specifically, they will ensure data integrity and confidentiality for the three projects proposed, and will perform all data analyses related to these projects. This core has extensive experience conducting sophisticated analyses related to many different epidemiological studies with varying methodology. Furthermore, they are experienced in capacity building and one component of this Center will be local capacity building, specifically related to data entry, data cleaning and data analysis. The Core Head (Rahme), and two Key Personnel (Casapia and Gyorkos) are all University Profesors that teach in Departments of Epidemiology and Biostatistics. The remainder of the core is also qualified for capacity building. The highly qualified data and biostatistics core that we propose will be an essential component to the success of this Center. It will be crucial in generating the results ofthe three research projects and filling the current research gaps.
