Requests will initially be reviewed to determine if existing resources on campus may be leveraged. The Research Methodology and Biostatistics Core will then assess the following criteria: Effort estimated for each project, project impact/trajectory; and ability and commitment to securing additional funding as needed to complete the project. Requestors should expect to receive an initial communication about their request within two business days.
Funding?
Options are available both for investigators who have funding to allocate toward Data Analysis Biostatistics Core services as well as investigators, with a preference toward junior investigators, who do not have funding available.
Researchers are encouraged to write RMBC services into their grant proposal. A document with standard language that you can use is available; please send us an inquiry to request a copy.
