We collaborate with and provide consultations for investigators in biomedical research.

We work with investigators to efficiently identify unmet statistical design and methodological needs, and develop new design and analysis methodologies to resolve roadblocks encountered in cutting-edge biomedical research conducted at UNC-Chapel Hill and other institutions.

We offer biostatistical collaboration, short-term consultation, statistical methodology support, assistance with grant and manuscript preparation, and education in various topics relevant to biomedical researchers. We provide biostatistical support to researchers through the following programs:

Biostatistics Collaboration

• Statistical consulting and collaborative services on design and analysis in planning proposed studies
• Assistance with protocol development and review
• Identification of appropriate statistical and machine learning techniques
• Questionnaire review and psychometric analysis
• Biostatistical input to manuscript preparation
• Power and sample size calculations and biostatistics input to grant preparation

Short-term Consultations

• One-on-one help with specific questions related to sample size calculation or statistical analysis

Collaborative Studies Coordinating Center

• Study coordination and data management
• Design, conduct, report and analyze multi-center clinical trials and observational studies

Training & Education

• Biostatistical design, methodology support, education and dissemination for investigators
• Each fall semester, we host a Biostatistics Seminar Series for clinical and translational scientists. Topics are chosen to appeal to biomedical researchers and collaborative biostatisticians. We also coordinate with the biostatistics services at the Duke and Wake Forest CTSAs. For more information, visit biostat.duke.edu and ctsi.wakehealth.edu.
