Core C: Data Management and Statistics

一个威尔逊， 核心C（数据管理和统计）摘要 核心项目C的目标是：（a）促进为项目1- 5、（B）制定工具和程序，以确保和监测所有收集到的信息的准确性和保密性。 （c）开发工具和程序，以帮助主要研究者、执行委员会和 科学咨询委员会在提供科学监督和管理得克萨斯州中心为 学习障碍（TCLD），（d）通过以下方式促进研究者之间的沟通和数据共享 最先进的计算机网络和符合HIPAA的共享、分布式网络和数据 （e）为项目1-5提供统计分析和/或支持，以及（f）与 调查人员在概念化和执行跨项目，综合分析，从目前的 项目，包括可能纳入先前TCLD奖项中收集的数据的协同活动。这些 目标分为三个具体目标：（1）数据采集;（2）数据管理; (3)数据分析通过这些目标，核心C旨在提高科学的严谨性和可重复性， 通过为研究人员提供可持续的，具有成本效益的，尖端的 智力和技术资源，优先考虑质量控制、科学完整性和生产力， 促进先进的统计方法，以个人的研究目标和跨学科，跨项目 协同作用。大卫弗朗西斯博士，一位经验丰富的方法学家，是核心主任。他将监督所有 核心C的活动，与其他经验丰富的方法学家（泰勒，罗伯茨，Cirino）密切合作， 建立数据库，监督质量控制，并进行统计分析。德克萨斯州的资源 测量、评估和统计研究所（TIMES）的数据广泛，将提供给中心。 Core具有高效、高质量的数据采集、复杂的数据管理和 复杂的统计分析，在所有三个领域都有良好的记录。该项目出版物， 涉及当前进度报告中列出的数据，反映了核心C用于数据管理和分析的情况 在过去的五年里。

A Wilson, Core C (Data Management and Statistics) Summary The objectives of Core C are to (a) facilitate acquisition of shared data and project specific data for Projects 1- 5, (b) develop tools and procedures for ensuring and monitoring the accuracy and confidentiality of all collected data, (c) develop tools and procedures to aid the Principal Investigator, the Executive Committee, and the Scientific Advisory Committee in providing scientific oversight and administration of the Texas Center for Learning Disabilities (TCLD), (d) facilitate communication and sharing of data among investigators through state of the art computer networking and HIPAA Compliant shared, distributed workspaces, and data movement (e) provide statistical analysis and/or support to Projects 1-5, and (f) to collaborate with investigators in the conceptualization and execution of cross-project, integrative analyses from the current projects, including synergistic activities that might incorporate data collected in the prior TCLD awards. These objectives are organized into three specific aims targeting: (1) Data Acquisition; (2) Data Management; and (3) Data Analysis. Through these aims Core C seeks to enhance the scientific rigor and reproducibility of research throughout the center by providing investigators access to sustainable, cost effective, cutting-edge intellectual and technical resources, prioritizing quality control, scientific integrity, and productivity, and promoting advanced statistical approaches to individual study aims and interdisciplinary, cross-project synergies. Dr. David Francis, an experienced methodologist, is the Core Director. He will supervise all activities of Core C, working closely with other experienced methodologists (Taylor, Roberts, Cirino) to establish databases, supervise quality control, and perform statistical analyses. The resources of the Texas Institute for Measurement, Evaluation, and Statistics (TIMES) are extensive and will be available to the Center. The Core has the capacity for efficient, high quality data acquisition, sophisticated data management, and complex statistical analysis, with an established track record in all three areas. The project publications that involve data listed in the current progress reports reflect usage of Core C for data management and analysis over the past 5 years.
