CORE--DATA MANAGEMENT, STATISTICS AND RECRUITMENT

数据管理、统计和招聘核心将设在公共卫生研究生院的流行病学数据中心。核心的职责将是提供统计专业知识，执行数据管理活动并完成患者招募。项目负责人仍将承担其项目分析的科学方向的责任，但核心将提供资源来编辑数据，为分析做准备，并协助分析的执行。核心将确保为计划项目中解决的科学问题提供适当的统计专业知识，并确保由各个项目收集和分析的不同类型的数据。此外，C核心将负责招募患者，利用流行病学部门的大量专业知识和经验。在过去的提交中，卡耐基梅隆统计学系的调查人员被用作流行病学数据中心无法处理的专业统计应用程序的顾问。虽然这种安排仍将是非正式的，但这种咨询现在将主要由流行病学数据中心学院提供。

The Data Management, Statistics, and Recruitment Core will be based in the Epidemiology Data Center of the Graduate School of Public Health. The responsibilities of the Core will be to provide statistical expertise, perform data management activities and accomplish patient recruitment. The project leaders will still assume the responsibility for the scientific direction of their project analyses, but the Core will provide resources tp edit data in preparation for analysis and assist with the execution of the analysis. The Core will ensure the availability of appropriate statistical expertise for the scientific questions addressed in the Program Project and the diverse types of data to be collected and analyzed by the individual projects. In addition, Core C will be responsible for patient recruitment, drawing on the considerable expertise and experience of the Department of Epidemiology. In the past submission, investigators from the Carnegie Mellon Department of Statistics were used as consultants for specialized statistical applications that could not be handled by the Epidemiology Data Center. While this arrangement will remain on an informal basis, such consultation will now be primarily provided by the Faculty of the Epidemiology Data Center.
