Biostatistics

生物统计学共享资源（BSR）支持Kimmel癌症中心研究人员设计，进行和分析癌症相关的临床，转化和科学研究。它还审查了癌症临床研究审查委员会（CCRCC）的癌症相关临床试验提案。共享资源由5名博士级生物统计学家和3名MS级生物统计学家组成。 生物统计学共享资源提供有关研究设计（包括总体设计的有效性、满足目标的可行性、样本量、研究持续时间和计划的数据分析）、人员配备（数据管理和分析支持）建议、数据分析、报告编写和协助撰写手稿以及开发新的生物统计学方法的咨询和专业知识。生物统计学共享资源的总体目标是确保研究设计，监测和分析使用最先进的方法，并帮助中心支持的发展研究成功实现同行评审资金。这种共享资源在最近的赠款周期中经历了增长，并增加了具有生物信息学专业知识的教职员工。该大学的战略计划承诺资源，以确保在生物统计共享资源的持续投资。 预计增长的领域包括关键领域的发展，如临床试验设计、生物信息学和高通量数据分析。

The Biostatistics Shared Resources (BSR) supports Kimmel Cancer Center investigators in the design, conduct and analysis of cancer-related clinical, translational and scientific investigations. It also reviews cancer-related clinical trial proposals for the Cancer Clinical Research Review Committee (CCRRC). The Shared Resource is staffed by five PhD-level faculty biostatisticians and 3 MS-level biostatisticians. The Biostatistics Shared Resource provides consultation and expertise regarding study design (including validity of the overall design, feasibility of meeting objectives, sample size, study duration, and planned data analysis), recommendations for staffing (data management and analysis support), data analysis, preparation of reports and assistance with manuscript writing, and development of new biostatistical methods. The general goals of the Biostatistics Shared Resource are to ensure that study designs, monitoring, and analyses use state-of-the-art methods, and to help developmental studies supported by the Center successfully achieve peer reviewed funding. This Shared resource has experienced growth during the recent grant cycle, and has added faculty and staff with bioinformatics expertise. The University's Strategic Plan commits resources to ensure continued investment in the Biostatistics Shared Resource. Areas of projected growth include development in key areas, such as clinical trials design, bioinformatics and analysis of high-throughput data.
