Biostatistics
The ITHS Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Research Design (BERD) core coordinates biostatistical collaboration for investigators and trainees at every stage of the research study, from the initial trial design stage to the final reporting phase.
What We Do
Biostatistical services play a pivotal, collaborative role in biomedical research. At the ITHS, this collaboration occurs through our integrated partnerships with the UW Center for Biomedical Statistics (CBS) and the Children’s Core for Biomedical Statistics (CCBS).
You can contact us to set up a free initial consultation to receive expert advice on topics such as study design, data collection, and analysis methods. Specific guidance regarding design and analysis options for proposed studies is provided, including assistance in the preparation of grant proposals. We also work with the ITHS Biomedical Informatics team to assist you with electronic data capture.
