Core--Biostatistics and epidemiological methods

众所周知，高质量的环境健康问题研究必须 涉及使用最先进的生物统计学和定量 流行病学方法。生物统计学与流行病学的使命 方法设施核心(BEMFC)通过以下方式促进中心的研究活动 在重要研究领域为中心研究人员提供专业知识 研究设计和数据分析。此外，BEMFC人员将开发新的 和创新的生物统计和流行病学方法，以解决 出现的非标准设计和分析问题。由于这种设计， 分析和方法论发展问题将是 在这个中心的所有研究中心的研究努力，它是一个 高效、经济高效地在中心内分配资源，以 将这些相关活动分配给此特定的设施核心。的目标是 这一核心是为了：a)帮助中心调查人员进行最佳设计 研究研究；b)帮助中心调查人员掌握最先进的技术 分析研究数据；c)在需要时开发创新 生物统计学和流行病学方法，以解决非标准设计和 分析问题；以及，d)作为中心研究人员的资源 软件、教育和图书馆需求，因为它们与生物统计学和 定量流行病学方法。

It is a given that high-quality research on environmental health problems must involve the use of state-of-the-art biostatistical and quantitative epidemiological methods. The mission of the Biostatistics and Epidemiologic Methods Facility Core (BEMFC) is to facilitate Center research activities by providing expertise to Center researchers in the important areas of research study design and data analysis. In addition, BEMFC personnel will develop new and innovative biostatistical and epidemiological methods as needed to address non-standard design and analysis issues that arise. Since such design, analysis, and methodologic development issues will be an integral part of the research efforts in all of the research Cores in this Center, it is an efficient and cost-effective allocation of resources within the Center to assign these related activities to this particular facility Core. The aims of this Core are to: a) to help Center investigators with the optimal design of research studies; b) to help Center investigators with state-of-the-art analyses of research data; c) to develop, when needed, innovative biostatistical and epidemiologic methods to address non-standard design and analysis issues; and, d) to serve as a resource to Center researchers for software, educational, and library needs as they relate to biostatistical and quantitative epidemiological methods.
