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.
We offer biostatistical collaboration, short-term consultation, statistical methodology support, and assistance with grant and manuscript preparation. We provide the following biostatistical support to researchers:
- 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
We strongly advise submitting a request at least 3 weeks before any due date. With shorter time frames, we are not always able to meet our goal of providing fully responsive consultation.
TraCS Biostatistics also offers the Carolina Pragmatic Trials Lab (CAPSL) to support the design and statistical analysis of pragmatic trials that test interventions in real-world settings.
Each fall, we host a Biostatistics Seminar Series for clinical and translational scientists. Topics are chosen to appeal to biomedical researchers and collaborative biostatisticians.
Biostatistical support is provided by TraCS staff to research teams and tailored to the needs of their specific projects. Contracted services are billable and rates are available at tracs.unc.edu/rates. Before billable work can begin, we require a Scope of Work outlining the agreed upon services, timeline, and billing/invoicing. The provision of all services is dependent on staff availability.
