The earlier the Center is brought into the project, the easier and less expensive it is to work on the resulting data. Appropriate organization of data entry and data management is central to obtaining optimum utilization of data . It is common for investigators to enter their own data using spreadsheets. Please contact the Center before entering your own data to ensure that the data are compatible with our software, and are in a form that will be the least expensive and most effective to use. Center faculty also teach students in a variety of other departments.
Faculty welcome the opportunity to develop more resident and graduate school courses.
Center faculty are also available to develop and co-teach inservice courses with other faculty for medical school personnel who might benefit from such courses. Such courses might include material on research methods, biostatistics, research data management, and grantsmanship. This first step of consultation is to understand and discuss the scope of further collaboration. For more extensive projects, please contact us for fees. If a grant will include a significant funded role for the Center, the Center will collaborate in the writing of that proposal at no charge when no seeding fund is available.
