Biostatistics Core

生物统计核心的目的是为所有项目提供统计方面的专业知识， 范德比尔特大学体内细胞和分子成像中心的研究人员和参与者。 该核心提供的功能包括实验设计的开发，数据质量控制， 统计分析和解释调查结果，并就成果的介绍进行合作。实现 这些职能、核心主任和核心生物统计学家始终为研究者服务， 与项目和试点项目负责人保持定期联系。 生物统计核心的主要目标是： 1.提供研究设计并审查所有实验室和动物研究，包括可行性评估， 功效分析和样本量估计。 2.在项目数据分析、结果解释和最终研究报告的撰写方面进行合作 和手稿。 3.与所有研究者合作开发研究项目数据库，以保持数据质量 控制并确保及时获取数据。 4.开发和评估用于实验设计和数据分析的统计方法。 所有拟议研究都需要生物统计学核心支持。核心人员已经工作并将 继续与项目负责人密切合作，确保核心小组提供最先进的统计数据 支持.

The purpose of the Biostatistics Core is to provide professional expertise in statistics for all projects, investigators and participants of In Vivo Cellular and Molecular Imaging Center at Vanderbilt University. Functions provided by this core include development of experimental designs, data quality control, statistical analysis and interpretation of findings, and collaboration on presentation of results. To achieve these functions, the core director and core biostatisticians are constantly available to investigators, and are in regular contact with the project and pilot project leaders. The primary objectives of the Biostatistics Core are: 1. To provide study design and review all laboratory, and animal studies including feasibility assessment, power analysis and sample size estimation. 2. To collaborate in projects data analysis, interpretation of results, and the writing of final study reports and manuscripts. 3. To work with all investigators in the development of research project database, to maintain data quality control and to ensure timely data capture. 4. To develop and evaluate statistical methods for experimental design and data analysis. The Biostatistics Core support is required in all proposed studies. Core personnel have worked and will continue to work closely with project leaders for assuring that Core provides state-of-the-art statistical support.
