Design, Biostatistics, and Ethics

Specific Aims

Aim 1. Collaborate with investigators from the earliest stages of study design to ensure the use of best biostatistical and ethical practices in clinical and translational research. Studies will receive an appropriate amount of assistance from the outset, resulting in ethically and scientifically sound study designs, efficient use of resources, and hastened regulatory approval.

Aim 2. Expand education and mentoring in research design, biostatistics, and research ethics to train junior investigators in conducting scientifically and ethically sound clinical and translational research. The DBE will work with the TRI Navigator, and leaders in the “Education” and “Novel Methodologies/Pilot Studies” program components to develop education and mentoring strategies in study design, biostatistics, and ethics for investigators, fellows, and trainees. DBE also plans to expand its successful biostatistics program by developing a degree program for a Master of Science in Biostatistics.

Aim 3. Conduct innovative research in biostatistics and research ethics in response to needs identified through interactive collaborations on clinical and translational studies. The Department of Biostatistics will conduct innovative biostatistical research that will develop novel methods to satisfy requirements of TRI collaborations and develop innovative grant proposals for projects on biostatistical methods for general application in clinical and translational research.
