Methods Core

方法核心的总体目标是为开发和管理特定项目的数据库、统计分析和以手稿形式呈现结果提供支助，以确保所有研究人员都能随时获得与生物统计和信息学有关的咨询。这一核心将由生物统计学系副教授拜伦·加杰斯基博士指导。核心的职能将分为三个部分：行政；数据库开发和数据管理；以及研究设计和数据分析。加杰斯基博士将负责核心和 将监督其人员进行的所有研究活动，并协调核心内的教育机会，包括通过我们的临床研究硕士项目进行的正式课程工作，以及针对中心社区成员和初级研究人员的一系列月度讲座。讲座将在网上和网络研讨会上提供，也可以面授。KUMC生物统计系和生物统计和高级信息学中心已经建立了使用综合研究信息系统(CRIS)开发数据库的基础设施。目前有许多临床信息专家，包括担任CRIS项目经理并将担任方法核心的核心协调员的Megan Parks女士。Gajeski博士将在生物统计学系助理教授Henry Yeh博士的协助下，负责中心项目的统计设计、数据分析和统计编写需求的总体监督。他们将与戴利博士和社区参与核心密切合作，确保在CPC-AIHD的所有项目中采用严格的混合方法。

The overall goal of the Methods Core is to provide support for development and management of project specific databases, statistical analysis, and presentation of results in manuscripts to ensure that all investigators have ready access to consultation related to biostatistics and informatics. This Core will be directed by Byron Gajewski, PhD, an Associate Professor in the Department of Biostatistics. The functions of the Core will be divided into three sections: administration; database development and data management; and study design and data analysis. Dr. Gajewski will be responsible for the administration of the Core and will oversee all research activities conducted by its personnel and for coordinating educational opportunities within the Core, including formal coursework through our MS in Clinical Research program and a series of monthly lectures focused on methodology and geared towards community members and junior researchers in the Center. Lectures will be available on-line and via webinar, as well as in person. The Department of Biostatistics and the Center for Biostatistics and Advanced Informatics at KUMC have already established infrastructure for database development using the Comprehensive Research Information System (CRIS). There are currently a number of Clinical Information Specialists, including Ms. Megan Parks who serves as the CRIS Project Manager and will serve as the Core Coordinator for the Methods Core. Dr. Gajewski will be responsible for general oversight of statistical design, data analysis, and statistical writing needs of Center projects, assisted by Dr. Henry Yeh, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biostatistics. They will work closely with the Dr. Daley and the Community Engagement Core to ensure rigorous mixed methodology for all projects in the CPC-AIHD.
