Core--Biostatistics

生物统计中心将为目前申请书中所述的四个UW STD-TM-CRC项目提供生物统计合作和计算机系统支持。此外，生物统计学核心将支持实习生、研究员和STDCRC新研究者奖获得者。具体而言，生物统计核心将1)提供研究设计的统计合作和咨询；表单设计、评估和预测试；数据分析;口译和报告；协调数据安全和监测委员会；2)在STDCRC项目之间以及STDCRC与华盛顿大学其他性病/艾滋病研究小组之间提供统计和数据管理的领导和协调；3)作为具有高级统计需求的核心用户与威斯康星大学生物统计学系统计专家之间的联络人；4)根据需要开发、调整和/或实施新的或新颖的统计方法；5)维护可供任何调查人员使用的计算设施（包括现场和远程登录）；6)为STI TM CRC提供数据共享计划的管理。此外，该核心将与美国国立卫生研究院资助的华盛顿大学艾滋病研究中心的生物统计核心合作，促进参与联邦资助的华盛顿大学性病和艾滋病相关研究的生物统计学家和流行病学家之间的互动和合作。

The Biostatistics Core will provide biostatistical collaboration and computer system support for the four UW STD-TM-CRC projects described in the current application. In addition the Biostatistics Core will support trainees, fellows and STDCRC New Investigator Award recipients. Specifically, the Biostatistics Core will 1) provide statistical collaboration and consultation on study design; forms design, evaluation and pretesting; data analysis; interpretation and reporting; and coordinate Data Safety and Monitoring boards; 2) provide statistical and data management leadership and coordination among the STDCRC projects and between the STDCRC and other groups conducting STD/HIV research at the University of Washington; 3) serve as a liaison between core users with advanced statistical needs and statistical experts from the UW Department of Biostatistics; 4) develop, adapt and/or implement new or novel statistical methods as needed; 5) maintain computing facilities which are available (both on site and by remote login) to any investigator; 6) provide management of the Data Sharing Plan for the STI TM CRC. In addition, the Core will collaborate with the Biostatistics Core of the NIH-funded UW Center for AIDS Research to promote interactions and collaboration among biostatisticians and epidemiologists involved in federally funded STD and HIV-related research at the UW.
