CORE-- Biostatistics and Epidemiologic Methods

描述（由申请人提供）：BEMFC的目标和宗旨是通过提供最先进的生物统计和定量分析，促进高质量的CEHS研究活动。 在研究设计和数据分析方面为CEHS研究人员提供流行病学专业知识。具体 BEMFC成员和CEHS研究人员之间的互动涉及研究的最佳设计，对研究数据进行复杂的统计分析，开发创新的生物统计学和流行病学方法来解决非标准设计和分析问题，以及组织和介绍教育机会（例如，研讨会，讲习班，专题讨论会），因为它们直接关系到CEHS研究人员的生物统计和流行病学需求。这些相互作用将有助于确保CEHS研究的有效性和准确性，从而对重要的环境健康问题得出有意义和相关的科学结论。

Description (provided by applicant): The goals and objectives of the BEMFC are to facilitate high-quality CEHS research activities by providing state-of-the-art biostatistical and quantitative epidemiologic expertise to CEHS researchers in both study design and data analysis. Specific interactions between BEMFC members and CEHS researchers involve the optimal design of research studies, the implementation of sophisticated statistical analyses of research data, the development of innovative biostatistical and epidemiologic methods to address non-standard design and analysis issues, and the organization and presentation of educational opportunities (e.g., seminars, workshops, symposia) as they relate directly to biostatistical and epidemiological needs of CEHS researchers. These interactions will help to insure that CEHS research studies are both valid and precise, leading to meaningful and relevant scientific conclusions about important environmental health issues.
