# URBAN ARCH (2/5) Biostatistics and Data Management Core (BDM)

> **NIH NIH U24** · BOSTON UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CAMPUS · 2020 · $301,640

## Abstract

The Biostatistics and Data Management (BDM) Core will continue to play a pivotal role in the Uganda Russia
Boston Alcohol Network for Alcohol Research Collaboration on HIV/AIDS (URBAN ARCH) Consortium as a full
collaborator in study design, conduct, data management and statistical analyses. Over the next five years, the
BDM Core will collaborate closely with URBAN ARCH investigators on studies examining the consequences of
alcohol use on comorbidities among people living with HIV so as to increase availability of treatments and
improve outcomes. The objectives of the Core are to provide statistical and data management leadership in all
phases of research including study design, formulation of hypotheses and outcome measures, data collection,
data management, statistical analyses, interpretation of results, and the preparation of publications. The BDM
Core brings together an experienced team of investigators with extensive knowledge in underlying scientific
and clinical issues in alcohol and HIV/AIDS research. The overarching aims of the BDM Core are to maintain
high standards for data quality and statistical analyses. Having this dedicated BDM Core will enhance the
synergy and productivity of the Consortium investigators, promote the validity and generalizability of the
URBAN ARCH Consortium scientific findings and ultimately elevate the scientific understanding of the
relationship between HIV, alcohol consumption, and comorbid health conditions.
