CORE--BIOSTATISTICS AND COMPUTING FACILITY

描述：（申请人描述）核心B的目的是继续支持研究项目的所有信息管理和评估功能。和过去一样，设施成员由生物统计学家、程序员和数据专家组成。基金成员深入参与了项目的各个方面，从开始到结束，在本研究项目下进行流行病学分析。该设施为项目的研究设计提供咨询并积极参与，并将在正在进行的研究中继续进行数据管理和质量控制。每个项目完成后，核心B工作人员将进行统计分析、解释和展示结果。为所有这些活动提供一个中心位置，并为所有项目负责人和其他核心主管提供设施成员，这对该计划的成功至关重要。最重要的是，核心主任是每个项目的积极合作者，并与首席研究员、个别项目负责人和核心主任密切合作，以确保每个项目和整个项目中方法的统一性以及健全和最先进的生物统计学方法。

DESCRIPTION: (Applicant's Description) The purpose of Core B is to continue to support all information management and evaluation functions of the research program. As in the past, facility members consist of biostatisticians, programmers and data specialists. Facility members have been deeply involved in all aspects of the program from start to finish of epidemiological analyses conducted under this research program. The facility was consulted for and actively participated in study design of the Projects and will continue to perform dada management and quality control throughout ongoing studies. Upon completion of each project, Core B staff will perform statistical analyses, interpretation and presentation of results. Having a central location for all of these activities, and for facility members to be available to all Project leaders and other Core directors is essential to the success of this program. Above all, the Core Director is an active collaborator in each of the projects and works closely with the Principal Investigator and individual Project Leaders and Core Directors to assure a uniformity of approach as well as sound and state-of-the-art biostatistical methodology within each Project and for the Program as a whole.
