Biostatistics Analysis

The GCRC Biostatistician reviews all protocols and advises the GAC prior to approval of the protocol. Criteria used in this review include the appropriateness of the study design, statement of testable hypotheses linked to the specific aims of the study, and choice of endpoints with clear identification of the primary and secondary endpoints of the study. All protocol applications are expected to have two sections: one describing the data analysis plans and one discussing statistical power considerations to justify the proposed sample size. The GCRC Biostatistician is available to consult, and may collaborate with investigators on study design, implementation, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of results.
