The mission of the Biostatistics Shared Resources (BSR) is to serve as a focal point for UVA Cancer Center members to obtain assistance in the design, conduct, analysis, and reporting of basic, clinical, translational, and population science studies.

We Provide

• Biostatistical collaboration and consultation in the design of clinical trials, observational studies, basic and translational studies. An appropriate statistical design is necessary if the research is to be successful in fulfilling its scientific objectives. Early consultation during the design phase of a study is highly recommended.
• Expertise in statistical analysis. The specific methods employed depend on the randomization or sampling design (e.g., cross-sectional, longitudinal, case-control) of a particular project and on the scale (e.g., binary, ordered, categorical, continuous, survival) of the outcome variable being investigated. Statistical data analyses are performed using both packaged and special purpose computer programs_._
