Resources

The Biostatistics Core provides statistical consulting services for investigator initiated clinical research, and we recommend you consult with a statistician from project conception through to dissemination.  As many of our collaborators and trainees seek to expand their own understanding and knowledge of study design, statistical methods, and data science to enhance these collaborations, we have curated a list of recommended resources.
