Core B

The Biostatistics/Bioinformatics Core (Core B) will provide centralized biostatistics and bioinformatics services, as well as collaborative research and data management support for the research projects of the Cervical Cancer SPORE. Core B will support the Cervical Cancer SPORE by providing innovative statistical and bioinformatics services via seamless consultation as well as database management that is in compliance with NIH and FDA regulations.

Through consultation and collaboration, Core B will provide SPORE investigators with assistance and direction in their experimental design, data collection, and interim and final statistical data analysis. Core B will lead the effort to design a clinical and basic research database with user-friendly interface for data entry, data retrieval, patient or sample tracking and procedures to ensure data quality, integrity, and confidentiality. Core B will serve as the focal point from which SPORE investigators and career enhancement awardees, including basic scientists, clinicians, and epidemiologists, can draw biostatistics and bioinformatics expertise for the communications and analyses of their research projects.

The Specific Aims of the Biostatistics/Bioinformatics Core are:

1. To provide biostatistics and bioinformatics consultation and support by assisting in experimental design and data collection, visualization, analysis, quantitative modeling, interpretation, and publication for all SPORE projects.
2. To provide biostatistics and bioinformatics support for the Tissue/Pathology/Immunology Core (Core C), the Developmental Research Program awardees, and the Career Enhancement Program awardees.
3. To develop new or adapt existing biostatistics and bioinformatics methods as needed and appropriate.
