STATISTICAL CONSULTING LABORATORY

这个子项目是许多利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 统计咨询实验室（SCL）是一个大学资源中心，为大学社区内的研究人员以及边境地区的研究人员提供统计支持。作为边境生物医学研究中心的核心组成部分，其主要职能是为边境生物医学研究中心项目中开展的研究提供统计和咨询支持，包括传染病和免疫学、毒理学、神经科学和代谢紊乱，以及边境生物医学研究中心的核心。SCL将继续为生物科学系研究生课程的学生提供统计支持。SCL对BBRC以外的研究人员提供服务有收费结构，但这种服务免费提供给BBRC研究人员。BBRC研究的统计支持包括：1）功效计算和样本量确定; 2）模型规范和假设制定; 3）检查模型假设; 4）在适当的时候推导新的分析方法; 5）数据分析; 6）结果解释和报告撰写; 7）为研究人员提供应用统计学研讨会; 8）资助提案的协议审查。计算支持包括硬件选择和维护、系统管理、数据备份、软件和数据库开发以及网页设计。 SCL的参与者包括一名博士。一级全职统计师，六个终身和终身跟踪博士学位。数学科学系和生物科学系的教员（包括主任）。这些教师担任资源统计学家/生物信息学家。此外，SCL还包括一名来自健康科学学院的具有流行病学专门知识的医生。资源教师和主任的贡献是由课程发布支持，以减少教学负荷，夏季工资，计算设备和研究会议的旅行。计算支持由与生物信息学核心共享的系统管理员提供，该系统管理员协助硬件选择和维护，系统管理，数据备份，软件和数据库开发以及网页设计。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The Statistical Consulting Laboratory (SCL) is a University resource center that provides statistical support to researchers within the University community as well as researchers in the border region. As a component core of the Border Biomedical Research Center (BBRC), its main function is to provide statistical and consulting support to research carried out in the BBRC projects, that include Infectious Diseases and Immunology, Toxicology, Neuroscience and Metabolic Disorders, as well as the BBRC cores. The SCL will continue to provide statistical support to students in the graduate programs in the Department of Biological Sciences. The SCL has a fee structure for service to researchers outside of BBRC, but such service is offered free to BBRC researchers. Statistical support of BBRC research includes: 1) power computations and sample size determination; 2) model specification and hypotheses formulation; 3) checking model assumptions; 4) deriving new methodology for analysis when appropriate; 5) data analysis; 6) interpretation of results and report writing; 7) offering seminars on Applied Statistics to researchers; 8) protocol review of grant proposals. Computing support includes hardware selection and maintenance, system administration, data back-ups, software and database development, and web design. Participants at SCL include a Ph.D. level full time statistician, and six tenure and tenure-track Ph.D. faculty members (including the Director) in the Department of Mathematical Sciences and in the department of Biological Sciences. These faculty members serve as resource statisticians/bioinformaticians. In addition, the SCL includes a medical doctor with expertise in epidemiology from the College of Health Sciences. Contribution of resource faculty and the Director is supported by course release to reduce teaching load, summer salary, computing equipment and travel to research conferences. Computing support is provided by a Systems Administrator shared with the Bioinformatics core who assists in hardware selection and maintenance, system administration, data back-ups, software and database development, and web design.
