## Abstract

7. PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT 
The involvement of skilled biostatisticians and bioinformaticians is critical for the success of research in the 
basic and translational sciences. Research that is conducted to reduce the burdens caused by the racial 
disparities in cancer incidence is no exception. For this reason, a Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Shared 
Resource (BBSR) is an integral part of this Morehouse School of Medicine/Tuskegee University and the 
University of Alabama at Birmingham Comprehensive Cancer Center Partnership. For full/pilot projects, 
outreach, research education and planning and evaluation activities, the BBSR provides consultation and 
collaborative support regarding study design, data management, and statistical and bioinformatics analyses. 
The BBSR also assists in the development of grant proposals, abstracts, and manuscripts. 
In addition to its work supporting the research of Partnership investigators, the BBSR's support enhances the 
biostatistical and bioinformatics capabilities of the Partnership institutions. This is accomplished by providing 
guidance to junior investigators and scholars (underrepresented undergraduate/graduate and medical 
students, medical residents, post-doctoral fellows, and junior faculty) regarding sound applications of statistics 
and bioinformatics principles in cancer research. The BBSR also participates in the Cancer Eeducation 
Programs of the Partnership.
