Biostatisticians’ Goals When Working with You
Enhance the integrity and validity of your study
Ensure the design has strong internal validity and, if possible, external validity
Specific aims
Measurement quality
Sampling plan
Randomization procedures
Data management
Statistical power
Appropriate analyses
Start Working with Us Early and Always!
Early in proposal development stage is the best
Studies have problems, that is OK
Definitely consult with a statistician before making changes and hoping for the best
If biostatisticians are active collaborators on the project, they can sometimes see trouble ahead and help to prevent or alleviate it
Involve us in database design and data management approach
We are an important part of the DSMB
We love to do complex analyses but in reality that is a very small part of how we spend our time on a project
Role of Co-Investigator on the proposal
Biostatistician role in proposal development
Align aims, methods, and analyses
Conduct preliminary study analyses, if needed
Conduct power analyses
Write the analysis section of proposals
Review the budget to ensure support for data management, data cleaning, and analyses
We are able to help depending on the scope of the request
Best approach
Meet with Nancy Perrin to discuss what is needed, devise analysis plan, and timeline
Work will be assigned to a Biostatistics Core member based on interest, expertise, and workload
Depending on the amount involvement in the project, the biostatistician may be considered for co-authorship
Monthly seminars
Measurement
Data Management
Mediators and Moderators
Adaptive Trials
Pragmatic Trials
Cluster Randomized Trials
Observational Methods
PROMIS Measures
Considering having mini-courses that go more in-depth on certain topics
Possible credit for student
PhD NRSA Proposal Support
Student works with one Biostatistics Core member on the proposal
The Student, Adviser, and Biostatistician reach agreed upon aims, research design, and analysis plan
Help with power analyses, writing of the analysis section
Need to begin working together at least 45 days prior to the submission date
PhD Dissertation
Goal is to have students participate in the data management training and working group so they can do their own data management under guidance
If analyses are complex, it is recommended a Biostatistics Core member is on the committee
If no biostatistician on the PhD committee, Biostatistics Core will provide basic consultation
DNP Students
The DNP program has statistical support integrated into the course of study. DNP students should direct requests for statistical support to the faculty for 817 and/or 818 and their DNP advisors
Train project staff in data management, data cleaning, and data integrity (TBD)
Hold monthly or bimonthly working group of project staff to discuss issues in recruitment, retention, and data management (TBD)
Develop a pool of trained and mentored statistical analysts that can be written into grants (NP)
3-4 students who have demonstrated experience with data management and data analysis
After completing a test project, students are assigned to a project and mentored by a Biostatistician
Students and Biostatistics Core meet together to discuss ongoing projects
Students may be able to help with analyses of manuscripts and presentations when there is no funding available
Could satisfy a Research Residency
