Data Management and Biostatistics Core

摘要 数据管理和生物统计核心（DMBC）的持续使命是确保南方和 中非ICEMR有效和高效地设计，执行，分析和报告现场和实验室 研究中的数据可以在研究中（跨研究中心）和跨研究进行整合和组合。本 最后，我们建立了一个有效和高效的协作环境， 可重复的研究。这些成功是由拥有统计数据、数据库和信息的工作人员促成的 技术（IT）专业知识，由基于研究电子数据采集的IT基础设施提供支持 （REDCap）和开放数据工具包（ODK）软件，满足我们的目标，同时适应现场现实。作为 作为南部非洲ICEMR的一部分，我们每周举行DMBC会议。这些每周的DMBC会议， 所有项目和核心的工作人员将继续参加，作为多学科讨论的论坛 数据、统计和信息技术问题。

Abstract The Data Management and Biostatistics Core's (DMBC) continuing mission is to ensure that the Southern and Central Africa ICEMR effectively and efficiently designs, conducts, analyzes and reports field and laboratory studies with data that can be integrated and combined within studies (across sites) and across studies. To this end, we established an effective and efficient collaborative environment, with an infrastructure for and culture of reproducible research. These successes are enabled by staff with statistical, database, and information technology (IT) expertise, empowered by an IT infrastructure based on Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) and Open Data Kit (ODK) software that meets our goals while being attuned to field realities. As part of the Southern Africa ICEMR we conducted weekly DMBC meetings. These weekly DMBC meetings, attended by staff from all projects and cores, will continue, serving as a forum for multi-disciplinary discussion of data, statistical and IT issues.
